WEEK 2 - LOVE IN NEW YORK

Love was in the air during our second week in New York.


Valentines Day was on Monday 14th February and we all celebrated in our own romantic ways.


During the day we went to the Museum of Sex http://www.museumofsex.com/  It was indeed fun and was a cheeky non-typical way to spend Valentines Day, however the experience was not the best value for money - cost per person $22.  Notable absences from the exhibition were Hugh Hefner, his Playboy Bunnies & Larry Flynt.

As the sun set, our couples & singles headed their separate ways.  French tartines for some, bowling & white russians for others & a $900 bar bill between 4 people (wtf?) followed by making new friends at what will now forever be known as the Shark Bar.  Shhhh we don't kiss & tell.

After a week of very chilly weather, mother nature generously gave us sunshine & the perfect conditions for Quinny & Laura's Wedding Day.  The temperature peaked at about 20 degrees celcius, which was fortunate as the bride wore a one-shoulder, above-the-knee Badgley Mischka couture dress, that was hand-beaded by the bride's best friend.

Service was at City Hall

Followed by cake & champagne at Prince Street Cafe

Followed by pre-drinks at the Bowery Hotel, where the bride & groom later spent their wedding night.


Then onto dinner at Pipa Tapas Bar http://www.pipa-nyc.com/ 


Check out the gorgeous chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.  For a cool $5000, you could take home one of these babies home with you.







And finally finished up wth post-dinner drinks at the Flatiron Lounge.





Speaking of love in New York.  Our lothario of a neighbour across the hall is a combination of Romeo, Don Juan, Cassanova, Pepe le Pew & Charlie Sheen.  His sexy parties made up of mostly spanish, eastern european & other model type women are notorious.  Kate is being woken nightly by the late night hijinks.  Karma some might say????
