Valerie and I stayed at The Algonquin Hotel located just a few blocks from Times Square. The hotel had its own cat, and I have to admit that's why we chose this hotel!! Here's Val giving Matilda a welcome hug!
After settling into the hotel and grabbing a quick bite for lunch (and two $5 diet cokes...just a bit of advice...refills in NYC are not FREE!! I guess it's a good thing I learned that at the beginning of the trip!), Val and I caught up with the other girls at Magnolia Bakery. A cupcake (or two) was the perfect way to celebrate Carrie's (pictured center) birthday! I ate a vanilla cupcake with vanilla icing, and it was divine!!
After a quick trip back to the hotel to freshen up, we all met back at Carmine's for an absolutely fabulous Italian dinner. The meals are served family style, and it didn't take long for the six of us to polish off these yummy meatballs, cheese ravioli and chicken parmesean. We also enjoyed the cold antipasti to get the meal started!
Other than the fact that my luggage did not arrive in NYC with me, our first day in the big city was a wonderful beginning to a fabulous weekend!

Love NYC Part I, Tewt! Oh, we had so much fun, didn't we? Thank you again for my sweet Valentine's surprise! You are ALWAYS so thoughtful.
What a GREAT post roommate!! That matilda said "no, no" to us in that picture! Where is the picture of your random friend behind her when she was on the desk?
