Monday was an interesting day. It began with the cat from our Airbnb vomiting on the ground…
My job for the day was to find a miniature lightbulb no bigger than the size of my thumb. So off I went to search all over Manhattan to find that specific lightbulb. A few hours, a few thousands of steps and a few looks of confusion later I was successful! Luckily, I had my boyfriend in town for extra moral support while searching ;).
To destress after my busy day (sarcasm) I headed over to Topos Bookstore Cafe in my neighbourhood to read a book and eat one of their gluten free pastries.

Tuesday was another day at work but after work was amazing.
One of my coworkers and I bought tickets to the ABT production of Swan Lake at the Met. Before the show we went to Boulud Sud to grab a quick cocktail. It was the perfect temperature to sit on the patio – not too hot & not too cold.
The performance was absolutely stunning (I had never seen the ballet before) I actually cried. I had always wanted to see Swan Lake because my favourite composer is Tchaikovsky! What I love about sitting on the side of the theatre (“partial view”) is that I am able to watch the orchaestra in the pit as well! It is almost like I get to have two performances in one!!!

Wednesday morning I went to the company workout once again!
I was sent on a unique errand – go to Tiffanys and buy a client gift! I was beyond excited to go to the central location of Breakfast at Tiffanys. The store is open to the public so there are lots of tourists walking around. I felt so luxurious being one of the people to actually make a purchase (elitist?).

Thursday was another errand day. This time I was sent to go to a design company located in the UES.
While I was up there, I took a break for lunch. I decided to go to Serendipity 3 -a restaurant famous for its desserts! The decor is eccentric (glass Tiffany’s lampshades strung across the ceiling) but also tacky. The sundae (pictured) that I ordered was nothing special. The service was awful, honestly I have gotten better service at McDonalds. This place is a tourist trap, I would not recommend it to anyone. Maybe Andy Warhol, Grace Kelly etc. loved it in the 1950s & 1960s but Tara Johnson gave it a thumbs down in the 2010s so there!
Back to work… We have a large event coming up with the largest, most intricate invitations that I have ever seen! The invitations were asked to be hand delivered which meant that I had the experience of being a courier! We didn’t finish until 9:30 at night which meant that they let us buy dinner on the company. I had the most delicious pasta.

Friday was yet another errand day at the office, this time I was instructed to deliver something to a client. The best part of running errands around the city is being able to explore new areas/see new things like grand central station!
After work one of my coworker & I met up with one of my friends in Williamsburg to get dinner. We then ended the night drinking wine on my coworkers rooftop and looking at the Manhattan skyline !
Thanks for reading!
