We’ve been in NYC for one full day and we’ve going non-stop since we landed on Saturday afternoon. Here’s some highlights from our first full day…
We started things off right by hitting the new Shake Shack location in Times Square, just a few blocks from our hotel.
Maile couldn't believe the line, so she whipped out her crayons and started taking orders from the line...
Sunday morning Maile and Daddy got the day going by coordinating some plans - well Daddy, coordinated plans, Maile Girl watched Sesame Street...
We hit Chelsea Market in the morning and Daddy thought it would be fun to have Maile try chocolate milk for the first time at Ronnybrook Dairy.
Two straws. Chocolate milk. NYC. Couldn't get any better, right?
"Nobody drink the chocolate milk! The chocolate milk has gone bad!"
Any body get the reference? (If not click here.) Maile Girl wasn’t a big fan of the chocolate milk. Probably a good thing…
It was a bit too cold for a full exploration, but we briefly checked out the High Line before brunch. A very cool addition to the city that was added right after Christine and I moved to SF.
Mommy, yes, cute picture, but please take this off me now - it's "heaveee."
Another new addition to the city is the playground in Union Square - when we lived here it was a bar. Daddy version of Matt thinks this is a great new addition - 2002 version of Matt would be pretty disappointed.
What is up with the swings in NYC? This thing looks like the chair they kept Hannibal Lecter in...
Luckily, the slides still seem to work the same!
If you can believe it, these pictures don’t even cover everything we did. We had a great brunch with Uncle Ben and Auntie Gwen at Collichio & Sons. In the afternoon, Grandma Jill and Grandpa Mike arrived. We walked all down to Madison Square Park and had a fun dinner at Eataly – which is a really cool Italian eatery/market.
Just give me a moment, this city is exhausting!

I totally got the chocolate milk movie reference–but I don’t know if that’s a good thing! Great movie, in my opinion… 🙂 Maybe one day Maile will enjoy it as a 90’s Classic.
