Autumn in NYC

Frau A in New York City, Travel

I had the good fortune to spend a couple of weeks in New York in September.  Though most of the time was spent working in our offices on Long Island, I did get into the city for the weekend.

I didn't take many photos, but here are a few random shots that captured the beautiful New York fall.

 

Inspired by Herr J's earlier photos:

 

Dusk among the skyscrapers: 

 

Yes, I did do a little of this....(Bloomingdale's, not LV!)...and am in love with my new red winter coat! 

 

A perfect early fall day in Central Park: 

 

Wish I had video of this one...After spending time with the huskies in Finland, I realized this one is just playing around and wants to be dragged. I'm guessing this guy's walks often go like this.  It would almost be worth living somewhere cold to get to have huskies. Such great dogs! (I did say almost, Herr J!)

 

And the reason for our morning in the Park - Race for the Cure. I was so happy to have the chance to walk the NYC Race with one of my closest girlfriends. We did the Dallas one together several years ago, so it was special. And a perfect morning for a walk in the park, some swag (snacks, coconut water, pink flip flops, etc), girl-talk, and capping it off with a great brunch at a diner.

 

I was amused to discover that my hotel was around the corner from some (American-stylized) Germanity.  First, Schnitel & Things:

 

And the Hofbräuhaus! Herr J and I will bring our trachten next time we're in town and show them how Oktoberfest is supposed to go!
