What a great giveaway!
I grew up in NY and now live in Idaho but the one thing that I LOVED and miss about it is the different cultures, the diversity of people walking up and down the city blocks and with that all the wonderful food. The Cultural diversity is what NYC is about. I'm so glad you had a chance to visit!

I have been to New York one time, and I got to go to the Hable Construction sample sale, Purl Soho, and then on to a quilting workshop at Denyse Schmidt's studio. It was a dream trip! I live in a small town in the middle of Missouri, so this trip was a big deal to me! The next time I go, I want to go to M&J Trimmings, among other places. Fishs Eddy looks very interesting.
Posted by: Cheryl Jaeger | July 23, 2009 at 05:33 PM

I grew up in NJ, and my dad worked in NYC - we would go into The City often. We would eat at the Princeton Club and go to a Broadway show. I moved west 40 years ago, and when my daughter went off to college in NY we would visit and it brought it all back....went to Fishs Eddy on one of those visits and bought a soup mug with the NYC skyline on it. Love ALL those stores you mentioned, and loved watching you on the morning show!
At home in CDA now....

I have never been to NY but would love to go. I am the only member of my family that hasn't been. Everyone has been on school trips with band and my husband chaperoned...twice. He has promised me a trip after our daughter's wedding and I am holding him to it. I would definitely go to Purl Soho...they mentioned it on Martha Stewart a couple of days ago! I would want to visit all of the fabric shops especially Mood...of Project Runway fame! Of course I would take in several shows and eat at some of the fabulous restaurants. I can't wait to get there! Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!

Teri and Serena,
Hi! I've enjoyed your site so much since I discovered it a month or so ago and never had the nerve to comment. Feeling alittle unworthy, untalented, and uncreative! But, reading about this contest I couldn't help but reply ...
In September of 2000, I visited New York City with a friend. The only thing about the trip that was planned was the flights and hotel. The rest was just flying by the seat of our pants. We started Saturday morning with hopping a bus then the subway through Manhatten and stepping off the World Trade Center stop. Having never been to New York before, I had no idea how huge the WTC was until we got outside. We walked to Battery where we hopped on a ferry out to the Statue of Liberty.
I could go on and on about how cool it was to see the statue ... how we saw Michelle Pfeiffer at FAO Schwartz, walked through the streets of SoHo, visited Macy's, and the double decker bus tour (did I mention we did all of this in a day?) I could talk about all of that being memorable, but truly the most memorable thing about that trip to me was riding back to Battery Park on the ferry at 9am Saturday morning. The perfect September weather. The sound of the water splashing against the ferry and light Jazz playing on the ferry drivers radio. I've never in my life seen anything as magical as the New York City skyline with the amazing World Trade Center buildings standing tall. I honestly think that during that ferry ride God tapped me on the shoulder and "shhh ... look at THIS!"
That experience was only magnified after September 11, 2001. I wish I could attach the photograph that I took of the skyline right at that moment and share with you.
Sorry, I'm a babbler ..Thanks for letting me share ...

I loved going to the Museum of Modern Art and seeing the painting Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. Also loved hearing all the different languages spoken on the street.

I've been to New York, both for a 3 day celebration with my Mom for her 60th birthday and my 40th birthday combined together. And then again when my daughter turned 21. I love so many things about NY but Central Park has to be one of my favorite places to visit there! Also love the Christmas Spectacular, I cried when the curtain went up because I was so excited! LOL
Posted by: Tiff | July 23, 2009 at 05:59 PM
I've never been to NYC. I would love to go to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade someday or anytime during the Christmas season.

Way Cool Giveaway!
Going Down Memory Lane with Mr. Souers on this one! "Young and Dumb in College" Traveled to NY on the "How Many Baseball Stadiums Can We Hit Before We Grow Up And Have Families" with our college friends... Yankee Stadium, "wandered around the Bronx" not knowing "it was dangerous", LOVED the Statue of Liberty...in total awe of her beauty..... barely hit the sites and then to Fenway...
Posted by: Lisa Souers | July 23, 2009 at 06:01 PM
If I ever got to go to NY I would hit Broadway every chance I got. I would get tickets to all the shows possible and visit the St. of Liberty every day.

I've been to New York a couple of times and besides all the awesome sites, I love the little children's bookstore, Books of Wonder, which is connected to an adorable cupcake shop, Cupcake Cafe. So fun! The bookstore reminded me of You've Got Mail's The Shop Around the Corner. I loved Purl Soho and Mary Poppins on Broadway, too! I will have to put Fishs Eddy on my list for next time!

Posted by: Hayley | July 23, 2009 at 06:35 PM
I love your site, almost as much as I {heart} NY! I've been to NY several times, always on "business." But, amazingly I always found time to shop, go for long walks, and enjoy a flea market or two. But hands down, my favorite NY experience was taking my husband there on his first trip to NY--showing him the sites, the tastes, and the (yuck!) smells of the city. To top it off, a couple of NY Yankees games made the trip perfect.
Posted by: Leslie | July 23, 2009 at 06:38 PM
I have never been to NY but would love to go. I would love to go to Rockefeller Center, the Plaza Hotel, Dylan's Candy Bar and many, many more places. Thanks for the great giveaway~

In 1987 I went on a trip to the East Coast with my Mom and sister and remember getting turned around on the New Jersey Turnpike!!!We didn't make it into New York, but we did take a ferry ride and I have pictures of the Twin Towers on a clear blue day..So beautiful! My girlfriend and I talked about going to New York for our 50th birthdays this year, but time is running out. I would love to go to a broadway show and shop and see the memorials. Thank you for such a great blog. Also love your cookbook. Your trip looked like a blast.
Posted by: Jill | July 23, 2009 at 07:17 PM
Hi Teri & Serena,
It looks like you had a great time in NYC. I've only been once - more than 20 years ago! I went with my best friend - two small town girls and we arrived at night - we were so scared to leave our hotel room in the big city :) But we did - and wandered around Manhattan in freezing weather in the middle of the night. I loved the funky little shops in Greenwich Village and the Empire State Building. I'll never forget that trip.
Posted by: Victoria | July 23, 2009 at 07:26 PM

How exciting:). I've been to New York before but my husband just loves being able to see he was there.
So what we did was go out of our way on a vacation to New Jersey and drove down the highway past the backside of the Statue of Liberty! We didn't stop or look at anything--we just drove past her backside.
I was not amused;0!
I'd love to win so I have fonder memories of NYC;)!
Posted by: Lizzie | July 23, 2009 at 08:39 PM
Wow, what a fun and generous giveaway!! I would love to enter; and yes, I have been to New York City a few years ago. It was a quick trip, but the one thing that stands out in my mind was when my husband bought my youngest daughter an American Girl doll at the American Girl Place. It was early in the day, and so we carried that doll around the entire city with us. She even made it to the top of the Empire State Building.
Posted by: Monica | July 23, 2009 at 08:46 PM
Yay... a give-away! I've always, always, always wanted to go to NYC!! I'd especially like to go during Christmas ever since seeing the movie Home Alone. When the little boy was wandering around Rockefeller Center... the Christmas lights were just so beautiful. I live in Texas so I think it would be so different in New York. The "country girl" going to the Big City :O)

It truly is a melting pot. The city that never sleeps. There is something for everyone in NY. Thank you for the wonderful finds. Lea

I went with my husband on my first trip to New York -- it was just last summer. He was there on business for the Latin Alternative Music Conference. So I spent the whole week wandering around the city by myself. We had spent the previous week in Montana so it was a huge contrast -- a big sky vs. a big skyline. I got happily lost about 10 times a day and found amazing food, stores, and people watching whenever I did. I'm sure I missed some of the important sites and I barely took advantage of any shopping. But I will always appreciate the home base of Grand Central Station, one particular Cuban sandwich, a great phone call in central park, stumbling upon a late night crew filming an episode of Lipstick Jungle, and sitting on the JFK runway for 3 hours.
Posted by: Kar | July 23, 2009 at 10:53 PM
When I was a sophomore in high school (a lifetime ago!)I entered a competition sponsored by a fraternal organization, the prize for which included a week-long study at the United Nations with high school students from throughout the US and Canada. I was immediately hooked by the energy of the city, the lights at Times Square, the joy of attending a Broadway show and purchasing a frock at Saks Fifth Ave. My home,however,remains in beautiful WA state. Your giveaway is so very generous and a fun mix of goodies. Maybe I'll be lucky twice and can win this fabulous prize!
Posted by: Miki Turowski | July 23, 2009 at 10:54 PM
I've never been to NYC before :( The first place I would visit is the Statue of Liberty of course! Central Park would be next on the list, American Girl Place would warrent a visit too!
Posted by: Kimberly | July 23, 2009 at 11:03 PM
I was in New York for one day a few years ago. We spent most of the day at the Statue of Liberty (I cried the whole time...what a moving experience). My Mom wanted to see Central Park, so we tried. Can you believe we never did find the entrance. Just kept driving around and around one-way streets that according to the map should have led us there. What a great place though...some day I'd like to spend more time there.
Posted by: Linda Dimit | July 23, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Hi,
LOVE all of the goodies!
I think I would really enjoy seeing a Broadway show...someday for sure.

Posted by: raesha | July 24, 2009 at 12:31 AM
YES YES YES we went to New York in the Fall of 2007. I loved finding the Garden in Central Park where the last scene from 'You've Got Mail' was filmed, The Jerry Seinfeld 'Restaurant', the Fudge at Roxie's, the Broadway musicals. But one of my sweetest memories was how my son told us to go over to TGIF at a certain time and wave at him on the EarthCam just ouside the entrance. We were all jumping up and down and waving (presumably at nothing, by the crowd watching) but my son was watching on his computer. : )

I've been to New York only once, with all seven (at the time) of my children and we loved that no one even noticed our large family. We'd just left Vermont where we felt like we lived in a fishbowl (and we love Vermont too) so New York was a welcome change. My favorite was St. Patricks Cathedral and visiting my cousin!

That looks like you had fun! I've never been to New York.

What's not to love about NYC? The hustle, the bustle, the buildings, the offerings, the food, the culture. It's all so exciting for a country gal! Thanks for bringing a bit of the city home
