It has been a week since my last Tip and I apologize. Last week was frenzied with preparations for my girl weekend getaway to the Big Apple. A special thank you to my Le Moyne College girls for making it so much fun! Helene, you will always be the best 'Julie, Cruise Director' :)
Lots of people watching (and walking - my feet were telling me we walked most of Manhattan). It was a beautiful day in the city and we saw a lot of Maxi dresses with scarves. Gladiator sandals were definitely out in force. Horizontal stripes were on shirts and dresses.
With 6 of us girls embarking on a 1 day trip into the city, it was hard to decide on where to go. But, I did get to walk into a few thrift shops in the East Village. The prices were higher, but there were definitely more designer vintage clothing. I didn't buy anything.... didn't find anything worth lugging around the city with me all day and all night.
The BEST DEAL of the trip was the bus fare.... my girlfriend and I traveled on the Tripper bus (www.tripperbus.com). She paid $8 for her round trip ticket ($1 going and $5 coming home with $1 convenience charge per way) and I paid $13 ($10 going and $1 coming home with the convenience charge). At exactly 2 months from the day you want to travel, the tripper bus offers fares from $1. The cost increases as more people buy until it hits the maximum price of $25 each way. Comfy seats, electrical outlets and WiFi made the trip easy and uneventful.
I am DEFINITELY heading to NYC more often!!!
