2 days in New York

Did you see '2 Days in Paris' with Julie Delpy and Chris Rock? Well, my 2 days in New York were not quite like Julie Delpy's as there weren't any in-laws were involved. We did have a whole lot of fun, though!

Mes 2 jours à New York ne ressemblaient en rien à ceux de Julie Delpy car nous n'avions pas reçu la visite des beaux-parents. Cela ne nous a pas empêché de bien nous amuser.

Our goal was to have fun, eat good food and make sure that we included enough child-friendly activities so that our daughters would have a good time too.

One of the places I was determined to visit was Beard Papa, for its divine cream puffs. After tasting them on our trip two years ago in San Francisco, I have been dreaming about them, and they did not disappoint!

Un des endroits sur ma liste: Beard Papa pour ses choux à la crème divins. Je les avais découverts à San Francisco lors d'un voyage, et depuis, j'en rêve. Je n'ai pas été déçue!

Puis, petit tour à ABC carpet, rayon enfants pour contempler les jolis mobiles en tissu et les installations poétiques. Nous avons ensuite savouré un dessert dans leur salon de thé.

Then, we went to ABC carpet to check out the pretty fabric mobile and the poetic installations on the children's floor. We then had a delicious dessert in the tea-room.

Une de mes autres adresses préférées pour les dessert: la pâtisserie française Ceci Cela dans Soho.

One of my other favorite place for dessert: French pastry shop Ceci Cela in Soho

Since we were in the neighborhood, we stopped at Purlsoho. I hadn't been there since they changed space. Their new shop is gorgeous and I loved looking at all the finished projects they have on display. So inspirational!

Comme nous étions dans le quartier, nous nous sommes arrêtés à Purlsoho. Je n'y étais pas retourné depuis leur déménagement. Leur nouvel espace est très beau.

Our daughters had a wonderful time creating Mondrian inspired art at the Children's Museum of the Arts.

Nos fills ont adoré le Children's Museum of the Arts où elles se sont amusés à reproduire des toiles de Mondrian.

What a great time it was! What are your favorite places to visit? Any suggestions for my next trip?
