I’ve always had a soft spot for New York. The restaurants, shopping, nightlife and overall vibe is something that has always consumed me and left me craving more. My recent ten-day trip to the big apple was nothing short of amazing but I found myself a little homesick towards the end and was reminded of the things I take for granted. The past few days I’ve been unwinding with my fiance (and recouping from a cold, boo) while feeling incredibly grateful for the perks of living in California.
