Love New York

Every day I discover something brilliant that would only be so in New York (or more specifically Manhattan). Yesterday's discovery was that it's possible to pay $9.87 for a packet of PG Tips in Zabars (that was our friend Tom's discovery actually). Today was a gorgeous spring day - so we went to our favourite upper west side cafe for a latte while Eben took a snooze.

I got chatting to a guy with a gorgeous dog who was telling me about the doggy daycare he puts his dog in. He was happy about it because it means the dog gets some social time with other dogs + lots of fresh air in the park etc. And a snip at only $500 a month, he continues, it's cheaper than parking your car in Manhattan. The next set of people who I got talking to at same cafe - a couple with a baby. They're the ones who took the photo above. They told me about a 'semi formal' toddler group that meets up regularly on the upper west side. Incase I forgot the details, they whipped out a business card for me take home with the deets. Brilliant.

And for good measure, more pics of the cuties.

Last week's trip to the Childrens Museum of Art, here they are in the ball pit..

As Eben insists on feeding himself, dinner times get messier. Mr Pasta Pesto.
