There's always a slight feeling of 'do i have to' when you have to get up at 4.30am to catch your flight. This trip was no different, however once we made it to Frankfurt the lovely surprise of an upgrade reduced the pain, somehow that takes the dread away for 8 hours and 5 days...until the return trip.
NYC never disappoints, although it helps that it's a city filled with some of my favorite people, all willing to eat great food and hangout. No matter how fancy the restaurant or how delicious the food, brunch always comes up trumps for me in NYC...Ashley was so excited about a new spot for brunch, it was worth the 3 day wait for Sunday Brunch at Vinegar Hill House the favorite of this trip. 1 too many Bloody Marys and yummy Beans on Toast with poached eggs, mushrooms, shallots, followed by a shared Angela's Sourdough Pancake with fresh ricotta & brûléed bananas, which reminded me of my Mums Bread and butter pudding (a recipe request is in the mail) Back to normality for a while...well almost, France with my lovely folks and the dog for Easter weekend...and hopefully some Brocantes for some irresistible treasures...
