Jadyn in the City-January 26-30, 2006

My "Bitch" came for another visit. This time she was fortunate enough to have good weather and exciting things to do.

On Thursday, after an awful day of traveling, we enjoyed a delicious meal at Trio. Click here for more details.

Friday, was a better day for the little one. While I was at work, I put my "Bitch" to work. That's right, she did my laundry and took my clothes to the dry cleaners. She was then rewarded by having lunch with moi! We got a quick bite to eat at Keats, a pub next door. I went back to work and she explored midtown--Macy's, Times Square, H&M, etc. By the time she was finished shopping, it was 5pm and time to start the weekend! Woo hoo! Let's get the party started...quickly (and boy did we).

Steve was heading home to the " 'cuse" (that's short for Syracuse) for the weekend, so before he departed JFK, we went out for wings and beers.

We borded the subway, bid a dieu to Steve and then the Tichy women continued down to Greenwich Village for the evening. We went to the "Comedy Cellar".

This place was awesome--an initate setting in the basement of a restaurant, with a capacity of about 50 people. We listened to about 5 (somewhat famous) comedians for about 2 hours and laughed like hyenas. (Jadyn is still laughing.) The comedians were from: "The Best of VH1 series", "Connan O'Brien", "Letterman", "Chappelle Show" among others.

After laughing so much, we were wide awake and decided to head to the Local--Doc Watson's--for a nightcap.

A few hours later it was Saturday morning. With not much sleep, I did my sisterly duty and made chocolate chip pancakes--the perfect meal to start any Saturday.


We hopped on the subway and went down to Union Square.

From there we walked to Washington Square.

Here is the famous arch of Washington Square.



After meandering through the streets of Greenwich Village (again), we found ourselves following the scent of freshly baked cupcakes and (somehow) ended up at Magnolia Bakery.

The cupcakes we DEVOURED we scrumptious. I had the vanilla with vanilla frosting while Jadyn enjoyed the chocolate with vanilla frosting. We definitely satisfied our "snack attack" (referring to the "Chronic of Narnia" SNL rap song)



After gorging ourselves on cupcakes, we backtracked and found the Peanut Butter & Co. place. This is the cafe that serves nothing but PB sandwiches....You know I found my heaven.

We had to find this place because Jadyn bought me their cookbook for Christmas. Every recipe includes peanut butter. Yum, yum.

From there we walked to SoHo and made of pit stop in Kate Spade (of course) for the little one. Unfortunately, no "Jadyn's" were available in the current collections.

After SoHo, it was onto Chinatown...oh, and wait...Little Italy too(it's only one street surrounded by Chinatown). We walked Canal street before heading back on the 6 train. As we were walking around Chinatown we came across this restaurant named "Jobee". We had to take a picture for our brother, Jobe.

Dinner time was spent at an amazing Thai restaurant in my neighborhood called Spice. This place is highly recommended.

Post-meal, it was onto the Bowery Ballroom for the "Honey Brothers" Concert! AWESOME!

Sunday, we spent around midtown, specifically around 59th street (where all the shops are located).


We went to Bloomingdales, where Jadyn purchased her very first "Big Girl Jeans"! I'm so proud, Jadyn! (Doesn't her ass look amazing!)



After dropping money on jeans like flies on cow poop, we worked up an appetit and went to Serendipity.

We had their infamous "Frozen Hot Chocolate" and delicious food.

We were so stuffed after leaving Serendipity we walked around in the rain to a few more stores (including the Home Depot with the doorman) and made our way back home.

Steve finally made it back into the city and we went out for a quick bite and drinks before calling it a night.

Monday, Baby went to the Guggenheim while I worked. She also walked around Rockefeller Plaza and ended up watching a "Soprano's" scene being filmed. I guess Tony and Carmella go ice skating... (Tony--center with black hat and black coat--and Carmella--blue coat and white fur hat)

After Jadyn watched hollywood in the making, we met up for lunch and then it was time to put baby back on the plane home. Bye, bye Baby! Come visit again soon.
