Monday - Central Park, Bouchon and the Mets

Monday was our last full day in NYC. We spent the morning walking through Central Park and stopped at Thomas Keller's Bouchon. We had a TKO (Thomas Keller Oreo) and a Bouchon. We spent the evening at Shea Stadium. It was a perfect last day!

Friday - Le Bernardin

Steve and I celebrated our anniversary with a trip to New York City together! Here are some pictures to enjoy. The first night were there we went to Le Bernardin for dinner (Steve's choice). We enjoyed an amazing 10 course meal, had a tour of the kitchen and almost passed out when Eric Ripert walked by!
