When in NYC.......

After what felt like a looooong day of travel, but what was really nothing compared to the hours my sister had to spend on a flight to get to New York from Copenhagen, we found her in Newark. We were taxi’ing in right after her SAS flight in the airport, but since we flew domestic and she flew international it took quite some waiting time to reunite. Here’s Luca and Teresa waiting (and waiting and waiting):

And the first thing she did when we arrived at our house in Greenwich village was to empty her suitcase on the table:

SO! MUCH! CANDY! Nomnomnom.

Still we made it outside for a nice long walk by the river with the hoards of locals who also behaved like they had not seen the sun in ages:

And when we woke up this morning I had one, and only one, thing on my mind: to get to the Nordic food court at grand central station ASAP. But breakfast did come first after all and we found a fancy place with avocado mash and lemon curd granola for the brave and “toast bar” for the not so brave - aka Luca:

And then we walked and walked and walked until we made it:

And then we walked and walked and walked some more to get to Central Park and sit outside in the bone-chilling-where-did-the-sun-go cold to enjoy our Danish “smørrebrød”:

We did of course pass a lot of stores on the way back and Luca decided to spend quite a bit of his spending money on a giant box of lego in the LEGO flagship store:

We just dined in fresh rye bread (from Meyers bakery at grand central station) with warm liver pate, that my sister smuggled across the Atlantic while we all complain about our sore feet:

Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings 🤩
