Momma Boo in the Big City

My momma came to visit in May.  This was her first time up in NYC in almost two years.  It was so nice to enjoy the one on one time I got to have with her and it was fun to show her around our new neighborhood now that we've settled into our apartment.

She crocheted a great blanket for us, and Bess was definitely a fan.  We watched movies, shopped and had lot's of good food.  Mole Mexican deliciousness the first night.  Mister Softee's and pretzel's another day.  Dinner at Bareburger and then Mimosas at brunch were a must of course!

Someone lost their birthday balloons, which is sad, but it made for a pretty picture.

We had a shopping trip on Memorial day, we stayed on the 6 train all the way until the end when it turns around and passes by the old City Hall stop that is no longer in use.  It's a cool glimpse back in time for a few minutes.  We shopped around Union Square, walked up to the Flatiron district and snacked at Eataly.   We also got to visit with a great family friend for coffee, and then have dinner at The Meatball Shop in Greenwich Village where our friend Carlos is the Manager.  The owner of the restaurant took our picture which was so cool, and Carlos gave my mom a belated Mother's Day gift, with an autographed cookbook from The Meatball Shop!

..and you know I must love this lady if I took her to Times Square!  She was excited about the Minions from Despicable Me, lol!
