I absolutely love having friends come to visit me in the city. I really get to geek out on my love for New York. So who is coming to visit next?! Here are some highlights from Shannon's quick, but eventful weekend in the city and a taste of what you could be in-store for you when you come to visit!
This is the diviest of dive bars and it's right here in my current neighborhood of Spanish Harlem It's a country bar. In New York City. In Harlem. Go figure...
Central Park
We enjoyed some fantastic sunshine in Central Park and sat in the grass to have a picnic.
This place is my forever favorite and if you come to see me we will end up here at some point during your visit.
Brooklyn Bridge
I love taking the long stroll over this iconic structure. The amazing views of Manhattan will never get old.
Back Room
A speak easy on the Lower East Side. There is no sign. You need to have the address. If you find the door you are let down a set of stairs and around to the back of this building. I won't tell you anymore because I don't want to ruin the surprise when we go.
We planned on busting out our inner hipster all over Williamsburg, but settled for a quite dinner here instead.
We popped into this West Village bar for just a second and ended up staying the whole night listening to fantastic karaoke. Two of which Shannon recognize as performers from Jimmy Fallon's late night talk show. New York City is full of amazing talent!
PS. Here is another example of amazing NYC performers in unlikely places... Please excuse the brief profanity. My follow subway rider was really impressed!
