Guest Post: The 1-2-3 of NYCLast week, I wrote a "Reverse Post", a blog post in which I asked readers for recommendations for my recent trip to New York City! I was excited to see several responses! One, from Nicole, who has fabulous taste in cocktails, drinks, beverages, all drinkable delights. One response stood out to me because of the writer's enthusiasm for New York. Her guest post submission also included a great sampling of activities, so I had to award this guest post to writer Liz Ferrar, an Austinite blogger who's excitement is present in every word that she writes. I resonated with her writing style and her 'Rebeccammendations' were spot on for my readership. I loved learning a little bit about her in the post, while it maintained its purpose as a guide for readers. Keep blogging, Liz! Here are her "Rebeccammendations" for traveling to the Big Apple. My trip highlights will be coming soon to a post near you. Guest Post By: Liz Farrar I focus on S words in three categories when I'm in NYC… Sip & Savor, Shop and Sightsee. (How cute is Liz?) The priorities change each trip depending on season, funds and my travel companions. Often the last two go hand in hand because if I'm traveling with my mother, chances are I have more money for the sipping and shopping! Over the last seven years, I've probably been to New York fifteen times. Since I found out I was pregnant last year, I've only been once… and on that trip, I handed my sister (and best friend) a t-shirt that said “Aunt Kate” on the street outside her Manhattan apartment. We both cried and it was one of my favorite NY moments ever. All that said… I have a LOT to share! I will break it down into the three parts. SIP & SAVOR
My dinner faves are varied and fantastic so I'm going to list them for you (ALSO, go to nymag.com for the best source of reviews in the city):
SHOP
SIGHTSEE
SIGH I sigh because I love New York more than any place in the world. And because I'm listening to Billy Joel's “New York State of Mind” as I write this. (Note from Rebecca: There's nothing like the classics, but I have to 'Rebeccammend' Alicia Keys' solo version of Empire State of Mind that I'm listening to as I write this) And lastly, because my sister has lived in thecity for five years plus two internships (the cool way – she interned at Lucky Magazine, worked at W Magazine and now works for the NBA!) and she wants to move to Austin soon. I am going to miss my trips to the city. I already do! Thanks to Liz for submitting this guest post! I couldn't do everything on the list and the weather was limiting, but I did make it to Union Square Market, H&M, Chelsea Pier/Market, the Brooklyn Flea. Can't wait for my next trip back to NYC... |
