After an evening of great food and wine, we headed out for breakfast and shopping. The plan was to head to the Meat Packing District to grab some food and then shop and sight see our way to Macy's.

Ladies’ Weekend
Okay, so maybe it wasn't really a "weekend," merely a Wednesday afternoon until Thursday evening, but nonetheless we crammed enough fun stuff and food into that window of time that it felt like a weekend.
