My whirlwind trip to NYC is just about to come to a close. (I'm typing this from my hotel room, and my plane leaves in about ... 8 hours.) Three nights alone in a hotel room could seem a bit daunting, but not when you are in NYC surrounded by amazing people, food, events and this city I love so much.
This morning I was thrilled to speak at The Seed event in SoHo with my BFF Gena of Choosing Raw. We had so much fun and thank you to everyone who came out to see us on this VERY rainy Sunday. Ahead I have plenty of photos to share with you from my trip!..
And THANK YOU for the warm response to my new HHL tees! So excited you guys love them. I just placed a new order for the grey tees which basically sold out in a day! And I am planning a "guys tee" since I have had a few requests. And I will seriously consider Canada shipping! Stay tuned... HealthyHappyTees.com

Some highlights... I had fun presenting with Gena. We had an AMAZE dinner in the garden at Pure Food and Wine. My Master Cleanse-tini, tamales and kale salad rocked. I frolicked through the cobblestone streets. I snagged a single front row seat and went solo to the Tom Hanks Broadway play "Lucky Guy." I met up with my sister and my adorable 3yr-old niece for a girls day lunch and pillow-fort building session back at my hotel on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I gazed at twinkly city lights. I met some inspiring folks at the Seed. I finally met Brendan Brazier while he was hanging at Le Pain with miss Gena. I met some super sweet HHL/Choosing Raw fans at the event. I was able to break in my new Canon 6D. It rained. A lot. And that is always cozy NYC weather to me. I laughed. A lot.
Yup, I GREATLY missed my husband and kitty, but also enjoyed this whirlwind trip! Check it out...

What is your favorite thing about NYC??

Don't make a decision based on whether or not you can relate to other people who have made that decision.
Personally, I can't relate to most people who listen to teen pop music but that doesn't keep me from listening to teen pop music.
James says
Cool

Is there any video of your presentation?

I would like to eat vegan but I just cant relate to people like this.
Debbie says
Oh I love shopping in NYC. I'm originally from Long Island but live down in Virginia and always miss NY. I enjoyed all your pictures. Beautiful! Looks like a wonderful time.

I live in south Jersey and have never been to NYC! I am 35 minutes from Philly so I've been there more times than I can count but the thought of going to NYC overwhelms me! I wouldn't know where to go first, where to eat (although I know there are tons of options!) where to shop, and where to stay. One day I will make it there (it's only a 2 1/2 hour drive) when I get the courage to

We were in NYC the weekend before you and also ate at Pure Wine and Food right before seeing Lucky Guy! Like you, we also ordered the sushi and the tamales but the best was their mint sundae, a genuine treat.
