Flashback Friday: Gallery Girls' Day

Emily and I had an awesome girls' day in Manhattan back in January. We set out to see the photography show Henry Chalfant: 1980 at the Eric Firestone Loft on Great Jones Street. I taught Lee Quinones's son last year and was eager to see so much of his work on display. We spent almost an hour wandering the space, admiring each and every photo. It was an amazing collection! Henry Chalfant happened to be there while we were visiting, so we also chat with him for a bit about his work and process.

We always make sure to eat lots of yummy food on our girls' day. Emily was so excited to try Georgetown Cupcake and I was eager to introduce her to Pomme Frites. We also stopped for pizza at sLICe in Astoria at the beginning of our day.

I can't wait for more girls' days with both of my girls this summer and fall!

Fifth Annual Girls' Day

Every Thanksgiving weekend Emily and I have a special girls' day together in Manhattan. The tradition was born in 2012 and we have looked forward to it every year since. The events change slightly from year to year, but we always make sure to see all of the beautiful Christmas windows on Fifth Avenue at some point during the day.

This year I introduced Emily to the holiday market in Bryant Park. She searched for Harry Potter gifts to add to her Christmas list and we picked up a few items for Brian as well. We stopped for lunch in Rockefeller Center and then made our way up Fifth Avenue admiring all of the holiday windows and lights. We had an awesome day taking in all of the Christmas magic!
