I had decided that I wanted to get a bagel in New York before we left. There are 2 types of bagels in New York--soft/fluffy and doughy. When we looked online for bagel shops, they were categorized as one of the two. We found a place not far from the hotel, so we decided to walk as it was only going to be in the high 80s, 10 degrees cooler than the other days. We joked that we should have brought our sweatshirts! It was still hot on the walk, and we were looking forward to stopping in H&H Bagels to eat in air conditioning. Unfortunately, it was only a bakery with no places to sit nor air conditioning! Instead, we took our bagels to some park benches near the Hudson River, since there was a bit of a breeze. H&H Bagels turned out to be the doughy kind, which were good.
The next couple hours were spent walking down 5th Avenue and going into stores we can’t afford. We started at Tiffany & Co. I didn’t realize until Julie told me that the store had 6 floors! There was one floor just for engagement and wedding rings! Julie and I browsed and found lots of items to put on a wishlist, while Andrew and Sean sat on a couch in the back of the store.
We continued our walk down 5th by going in Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Louis Vuitton, and FAO Schwartz.
We left the city at 3. We said our goodbyes to Julie and Sean as they were heading home and we were continuing our adventure by driving to Boston.
