A beautiful day dawned on Saturday and we were up early and out of the hotel, Chrissie was on a mission to find the Magnolia Bakery that was featured in the "Sex in the City" series that Carrie and Miranda used to sit on the bench out front of the shop, so headed towards Greenwich Village area and found it on the corner, had a quick look in but we were early and the cupcakes were not finished so then went looking for the appartment that Carrie lived in in the ser...

Today was the day we decided that we were going to walk over Brooklyn Bridge, but frst we had to get to Zara 5th Ave to get what Chrissie couldn't get the day before. that accomplished we then moved onto H&M, once finished there we headed back to the hotel to drop our parcels off.
