Happy New Year !!

I would like to extend a very Happy New Year to all of you! I am so honored that you come by and read my adventures in New York City! I have met quite a few of you in person, and am so glad I was fortunate to do so. 2015 has been a very hard year for me, losing my Mom, but it has also given me strength I never knew I had. I am very excited to see what 2016 will bring, and I am thrilled to be able to share my experiences with you!

Here is to a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! See you in 2016 !!

Michel Cluizel Madison Avenue New York City

I had the chance to visit one of my favorite chocolate shops when in the city in December, Michel Cluizel. They just recently moved from 5th Avenue to Madison Ave and East 35th Street. I really like the new area, near the Morgan Library, Empire State Building and Macys! They are not only a chocolate shop, but a cafe as well, which makes everyone just so darn happy! Michel Cluizel has been making chocolate since 1948, and it is quite the most amazing! Let's take a peek into the new cafe:  

I was very happy to see they were right next to a Shoe Repair Shop! Two things that make me quite the happy person!  

I really loved the tile floors!  

Wonderful holiday gifts during any season but these Christmas bars were too adorable to eat!  

This is a Macaronlat where chocolate meets macaron. Why didn't someone think of this sooner?? 

Praliné filled celebration lollipops 

The seating area was very nice, open and modern. They will be serving pastries like below and drinks to go with them, just as they did in their prior location.  

The ultimate spread, for your toast, ice cream or just eaten by the spoonful !  

A typically French little basket which enhances the traditional Michel Cluizel “baguette” made out with 39% milk chocolate. 

This is a great place to stop and relax from all the activities in this area! I highly suggest you add this to your "to do" list in New York City !

The Luxury of Time at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

I was happy to be able to pop in the Metropolitan Museum of Art for this gorgeous exhibit titled The Luxury of Time. I am so in awe of these amazing works of art, and the extreme detail in each one. I am a big fan of the enamel work, as well as the cherub decorations. I hope you enjoy these photos, and if you have to chance to check this out, I would highly recommend it!  

They were just working on the amazing tree for the holidays when I was visiting so had to take a shot for you! Oh so pretty!!

Macy's Peanuts Gang Holiday Windows 2015

I will admit, Macy's holiday windows are something I have not seen in quite a few years. I was in the city on a Wednesday, great time during the holidays to go, and had to see their windows this year! I grew up with the Peanuts gang, they are just such a fun group! My Mom worked in a children's boutique shop and they sold so much of these characters. I have Snoopy, his sister Belle (not many know he had a sister!) and brother, Spike! I really enjoyed viewing these, it took me back to my childhood, which was a very happy time. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did !! 

They had a piano at the front of the window for Schroeder and this guy was having a blast trying to play it! He said afterwards it wasn't like a real piano! These windows have made everyone feel young at heart!  

These guys were right next to me looking at the windows! I nearly fell over when I saw them! Costumes are crazy good, my Mom was a HUGE Star Wars fan. Then below, they started dancing with the Salvation Army ladies to some snazzy music. It was loads of fun. Only in NYC!
