Solo in the City!

Last week I had the pleasure of spending 2 full days in New York City solo and then another 2 days with my sister! Wow!  A real luxury unmatched in the past 41 years!

I decided to spend the solo days hitting all the fabulous furniture and design stores I have been stalking, ehmmm I mean, visiting online for years via my favorite site, 1stDibs.com.


It took me almost a full hour but I actually mapped all my favorite resources on Google Maps and devised two manageable walking tours.

Note: Flats Required.



After all this work, I thought it only right to post my TripIt itinerary (great travel planning site started by a real FOX!) so my girls who may be in NYC soon (or now!), could save some time and see some hot spots.
