I may or not have finished the pint of Raw Almond Butter Cup ice cream from the previous night, for breakfast on Wednesday...
Or maybe I did ;-)
After I finished my dessert (err, I mean, breakfast), I headed across the street to Whole Foods (located in The Shops at Columbus Circle) to meet up with a new friend and fellow blogger:
Lauryn from the "Making Moves" blog!! She just happened to be in NYC that day for a job interview, and made time in her busy schedule to meet up at Whole Foods.Despite time constraints in both our schedules, we still managed to have a great time. We rocked out to old-school tunes that were blasting in the store (Spice Girls, anyone?? Major childhood flashbacks there, haha), chatted, and continued to be amazed at how far back we were in the check-out line (we couldn't even see the cashiers or the beginning of the line from where we were, haha).
I am so pleased to have had the chance to meet Lauryn, since we have become good friends - shout out to you, girl! :-)
After saying goodbye to Lauryn, I met up with my parents for some strolling & sightseeing:
Following (err, avoid getting run over by) the horse-drawn carriages...
...and saying hello ;-)
Walking through Central Park...
In memoriam...
My mom is such a New Yorker, haha.
Shopping at Saks...
VeggieDad admiring the Lemon & Coconut Sorbet Cone Trio.
Close up...
Statue at sunset...
The folks, going for a horse & carriage ride.
After a long, tiring (and fun!!) day, my parents and I did not hesitate to retire to our respective hotel rooms a little early (which means before midnight or 1:00am). After all, we wanted to be energized for the remaining two and a half days of our trip!!
**Stay tuned for Part Four of the VG NYC post series!!**

Wow - I agree with Brandi. The shots of the park are gorgeous! This vaca looks oh so nice.
I love that you ate ice cream for breakfast! Such a fun thing to do, esp. on vacay!
Hello,
I was just wondering (and I apologize if you answer this somewhere on your blog) how you get in your omega-3's. Do you rely only on food sources or do you take a vegan supplement?
Thanks so much, Courtney
It looks like you had lots of fun! I sure miss those spice girls days..
Cool! Are you still in town. You must check out the LES-tons of vegan spots. Let me know, next time I'll give you a downtown tour of my fave spots!
Kathy

ooooooooooooh YUMMY new york! That pick of you and your new bloggie friend is so cute, Liz!! Love ya!! XOXO
Can I just say that i absolutely LOVE that you had ice cream for breakfast!!??! -- that's my girl! ;)
Ice cream from breakfast really isn't as strange an idea as people might think! Yeah.
Central Park looks gorgeous! I'm in love with any green woodland area with something resembling trails, so I may be biased.
I'm so jealous of your New York trip. Central Park is a must see for me. I would love to go there.
I'm not sure I've ever seen such beautiful photos of Central Park! Really!
What a fun, fun time you had. I love these recaps. And hey, I say on vacation, you can have anything you want for breakfast!! :)
Love the dessert for breakfast!! Glad you and Lauryn had a great time at WFs!
What great pictures of Central Park - gorgeous!
Lovely sights and scenery from the city! Looks like a simply beautiful day. But how could it not be? Its New York. Cant wait for another recap!
I WANT THAT ICE CREAM!!! Any idea on how to make it? Does VG do any ice cream making in addition to her baking? I'm such a poet...but you already know it.
Love you LIZ!!!
Hehe, love ice cream for breakfast, VeggieGirl ;) Those Central Park pictures are absolutely gorgeous--ahhh, I wish I could visit! LOL at Veggie Mom!
Ice cream for breakfast rules! Your pictures are gorgeous! How fun to meet up with a fellow blogger.
So much fun packed into 3 little days:) My sister keeps trying to convince me to go with her. So many places to travel to and so little time!
okay okay this MAY or may not be my favorite post from your city trip -- who am i kidding, it definitely was! i LOVE our pic (and the strategically placed WF bag) and cannot thank you enough for such a sweet little shout out; i had the best time hanging out and i have no doubt we'll be doing it again in the (near) future!!!
and you did NOT tell me you had such a fabulous rest of the day planned -- can't beat central park and saks! you're a natural new yorker ;)
i'll leave you with the fact that spice girls is stuck in my head and i cant help but smile because of it! ha! talk to you soon xoxox
Your trip just gets better and better!!! I love Central Park (as you can tell from my blog). Can't wait for more!!
I'm not even going to comment on the ice cream. I die a little inside everytime I see it. haha
Fabulous recap, I love the carridge ride! I've always wanted to go on one =)
Fun. Carriage ride through Central Park.
I loved your breakfast...I could get into that. :)
Looks like fun! Next tine you're in NYC, we've got to hang out!
I've always wanted to take one of those carriage rides!
Oh and the raw ice cream looks yummy!
Ice cream is a totally acceptable breakfast, especially when on holidays. I remember when I would get ice cream cakes for my birthday, I would totally eat a leftover piece for breakfast the next morning. In fact, I think I should revive that tradition for my 30th!
Very nice pictures in Central Park - it looks like a beautiful place. I bet you could spend all day there wandering & sightseeing.
veggie girl your adorable - I love your ice cream for breakfast :D
isn't central park so pretty!!??
thats so cool that you two got to meet each other and go to whole foods!
I am 100% on board with ice cream for breakfast!
Now, what I want to know is... what'd you get from Saks?? ;)
What a delicious breakfast...
Nice to meet fellow bloggers, glad you had fun in NY!
I'm so jealous of the ice cream. Like, I miss ice cream so much it's ridic. I just don't want to spend money on $5 raw soft serve from Judahlicious. Damn.
I WISH I WERE THERE IN NYC! Shoooo. Homes, you too fab! Love ya!
I agree with Mama Lovin! I want that ice cream!!! Too bad it may have contributed to an upset stomach down the line...because it sounds so delicious! And I think you are hilarious and awesome for finishing a whole pint!
Veggie Mom is soo cute, and Veggie Dad looks so excited about his sorbet!! Who wouldn't be?
Loved all the scenic pictures!!
Mad love to you!!!!
That pint or ice-cream wouldn't have even lasted through the night in my hotel room. Well if CD was with me, it wouldn't have even made it from the restaurant to the hotel room. :)
raw almond butter cup ice cream - sounds like HEAVEN on earth! I'm glad you are enjoying NYC :)
i cannot wait to go to nyc in 2 weeks and try this ice cream :) sooo excited!
xoxo
lo
I can't decide which I like better the almond butter cup ice cream or the Central Park pics...how awesome would it be to take a stroll through the park WITH IC? The best of both worlds!

Just living vicariously through you! It's great to see NEw York, I'd love to go one day. Sweet yo got to meet up with another blogger!

Wow, you are getting to see some really beautiful sights in NYC. Wonderful pics :)

Bhahaha the picture of your being being a New Yorker made me laugh.
I'm not sure if you caught my question on your last post, but in that post there were pictures of you wearing the most incredible necklace - I was wondering where you got it. Thanks!!
Part Four! Can't wait :D
Liz - I'm so sorry I missed you!!! We were rushing to get out of town to visit family in Boston and then a wedding in Cape Cod. But on your next visit to NYC let's please please meet up! I will take you to my favorite vegan cafe -- my treat!
Ice cream for breakfast? Delicious! I'd do the same :D
Glad you had a fun meetup. Jealous!
<3 jess
I seriously can't stand how delicious that ice cream looks!! I am going to HAVE to go there after work soon!
Pretty! Fun!
Every holiday when there's cake or pie for dessert, I always eat the leftovers for breakfast the next day :D
That ice cream looks so delicious! I would have eaten it for breakfast, too. :-)
Glad you could meet up with Lauryn, too. You both look so cute and city-ish!
Love the photos of Central Park, too.
Looking forward to reading more of your adventures!

The park looks beautiful. I was there in the fall, so I didn't get to see it all lush and green. Your mom does look like a true New Yorker!
I want some of that sorbet.
You should write a book about your journeys. It's always very interesting to read about. Thank you for sharing and oh my, that first picture. I am always amazed by the raw food variety.

I love all of your photos! I really want to go to NYC!!

I can't believe I didn't go to Central Park the last time I was in NY! That's going to have to change :). I do remember the lines at WF though! When we stayed, we made sure to get a hotel so I could cook, then we took a trip to WF. What a line it was!
Happy Birthday Grandpa, Nice to meet Chooey!
