Fall Trip #5: New York City

Shortly after returning from Rhode Island, I unpacked, repacked, and took a short trip to New York City, Oct. 20-21. This one was for school - as part of one of my classes, I had to attend a conference for professional development this semester. I chose the BizBash show because 1) it was one day and 2) it had very cheap registration.

Here are my three favorite things about NYC:

1. BizBash - This was a really fun meeting/trade show for me to attend. I generally am working with a very small budget on educational meetings, and this show allowed me a glimpse into how the other half does it- the people who get to spend lots of money on things like strolling tables. I met up with two GW friends to spend the day attending educational sessions and perusing some pretty cool products and services on the trade show floor. Alanna and I had our photo taken with the Screaming Queens:

2. Christopher! - It's always a NY fave when I get to catch up with him. While we didn't have a ton of time together, we made the most of it, reminiscing about our high school days and beginning way too many sentences with, "I saw on Facebook that..."

3. Serendipity - I've been trying to make it to this place for a couple years and it's just never worked out. So I was excited when Christopher and I got to go there for dessert. And not just any dessert... the Forbidden Broadway Sundae:

All in all - a quick, but fun and worthwhile trip.
