Im going to New York City for the First Time.......you know what that means ;)

[SpecialK]

Im so excited. Im taking my SO to New York for his 39th birthday. Niether of us have been so I know he's going to be thrilled. Were going just before the Independance Day Long weekend (we'll be there for our Canada Day long weekend). Im thinking that the first of the Bal Fall 08 collection should be out by then so Bal NY here I come!!!!! Im going to just walk in with the utmost confidence and not worry about the rumors of snooty SA's.

I know its a long way away but time goes so fast it will be here before I know it!!

PS. If any of you New Yorkers can recommend the best areas and/or hotel to stay in, with a moderate budget it would be very helpfull. Im thinking the W Hotel - the court but not sure

I don't find BalNY intimidating at all and all of the SA's have always been super nice to me... so I'm sure you will have a great time!

Special.. Have fun going!! I'm heading out there in late June as well... I heard to be sure to bring comfy walking shoes.

Ooooh, have fun SpecialK and Oooogie! I live across the bridge in NJ and have yet to set foot in BalNY. Wear comfy shoes and be ready to eat the best Pizza & Bagels that NY has to offer! ( I lived in the City up until I was 16)
