This year, I celebrated my birthday in one of my favorite places, New York City.
It was a work trip, but I was able to squeeze in a few extra days to check out places I missed the last time I visited two years ago. I was able to catch up with cousins and a childhood friend. Besides all the good eats, my favorite spot this time was Chelsea Market.
Here are some photos of the NYC sites, scenes and, of course, food. Enjoy!
