My very first time in New York! Being there and celebrating my birthday there was a fantastic experience. Marijke showed me around, she used to live there, and we met with Carlos and Jaime for a birthday dinner in the Meat Packing District.
Birthday activities? At exactly 00:00 Dutch time we were on top of the Empire State building. Toasted with -what else- Manhattan's to celebrate and had a burger at The Joint, best burger place in town as it turned out to be - sitting right at the table where JLo had hers. Then - the twentiest of September New York time, we took the circle line for a tour around Manhattan-island with a very entertaining ánd knowledgeable tour guide, walked the high brow shopping streets, visited a New York wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral - which, according to a certain Patrick, 'means a lot' and then took the elevator express, the 'shoe express' to shoe heaven, at Saks. No, didn't buy my birthday treat there - with shoes at at least 1.000 USD a pair - that exceeds even my limits... And then went to The Park to meet up with Carlos and Jaime and let the evening end with some Cosmo's at the Gansevoort Hotel terrace.
