I went straight from the plane to beauty bar. The last time I was there was in 1999. They have new bartenders. I liked THE old crew better - especiall the one with the Route 66 tattoo. Since I was with Tor we of course also did a mandatory stop at the underground caviar bar Prvada for a horseradish infused shot of vodka. Tor lives by the "Bright Lights, Big City" philosophy of only 1 drink per bar so suffice to say this wasn't our last stop.

The next day I found heavenly sneaker sweetness. There is no place like New York for shopping. Fortunately, shopping is not really my thing - otherwise I probably would have spent a fortune.
