My last two days in New York were spent with my Brooklynite sister {see photos from the rest of my trip here, here, and here}. We wandered through Washington Square Park and Chelsea, stopping for a fantastic lunch at Eataly. The boutique shopping in NYC is absolutely unbelievable, one of my favorites being the Aesop store we visited. We had a delicious French dinner in Williamsburg, stopped at Momofuku Milk Bar for dessert {the cereal milk soft serve really did live up to the hype} then had drinks at an adorable little French bar.
The last day of the trip Amanda had to work, so I ventured north to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I always find the museum a little overwhelming. It is so big and packed with so much that it is nearly impossible to see it all. Instead, I spent about 4 hours there just meandering a few of my favorite galleries. After a quick lunch at Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria {thank you Albertina for the fantastic recommendation} I made my way to the 9/11 Memorial. Honestly, it is hard to really put in writing the experience I had there...but a few words pop into my mind: moving, heartbreaking, fearful, inspiring, empty, devastating, hopeful. We will never forget.
