Friday adventures
We typically stay home and nerd out on Friday evenings, but tonight we have especially fun plans! Toby and I are going to the newly restored carousel in Brooklyn. It has 1,200 twinkling lights, which I know is going to blow his baby mind. (And I'll be getting snacks here.) Then Alex and I are joining friends for a sunset sail. I'm excited to feel the wind in our hair and see the city from the water. New York, you really nail it sometimes.
Also, the Cup of Jo Guide to NYC is officially slated for the week of September 26th! Can't wait to share.

sounds like an amazing weekend. i bet toby's reaction to the carousel will be absolutely adorable :) i'm eager for your nyc guide! especially since my husband and i hope to go there for our first anniversary :)
Sounds like fun. Wear your sweater! Was it as chilly there as in Baltimore this morning? Fall is here!
I am heading to NYC at the end of October... so I am looking forward to your NYC guide!
sounds perfect! kids love a carousel (after they cry and cry for a few minutes when they first get on) they would ride it all day!
we just went to brighton beach for the afternoon and had a great time on their old carousel

Jo, you might get a kick out of this funny post about kid facial hair... it made me think of your husband Alex's article on men's facial hair and then I imagined Toby with a mustache (very silly). http://www.pickleope.com/2011/09/plea-to-cure-hairy-children.html

Yay NYC guide! just in time for our family trip to Manhattan in November. It's been too long since we've been there, so your guide will make me feel wonderfully updated with the best of the big apple.
What perfect timing! My boyfriend and I are going to NYC for the first time ever on September 29th! Can't wait to read your guide to NYC, Joanna!

I am coming to Visit New York in the Mid of Feb and cannot wait to read your guide! Particularly interested in the clothing you would suggest investing in. I am coming from Australia so cannot comprehend what the weather is going to be like!
i love enjoying the sites and sounds in the places you find yourself each day.
happy sailing

Oh I CAN´T WAIT to read your New York Guide. It´s so unbelivable what great themes there are on your blog. And what makes me wonder most, is that you seem to find to find a way to always top the one before. YOU ARE A BLESSED WOMAN - SO CREATIVE!!! So inspiering... Love, Nadine from Cologne (GERMANY)
Just in time for my arrival on the 30th! Cant wait to do some of your recommendations!
oooh so glad the carousel is working again i live quite close to there and can't wait to go for a ride! Enjoy your sail and bring a sweater!
your NYC guide will be so timely as I just booked tickets for a November visit!
It sounds like a wonderful night, I can only imagine all of the beautiful scenery. I so wish I lived in New York - I live vicariously through all of you lucky folks that do.
oh, nadine, that is the sweetest note, made my morning :)
I want to go!! How was it?
How positively wonderful!!

beautiful, robyn--the carousel is just stunning, between the two big bridges (brooklyn bridge and manhattan bridge), and right on the glimmering water with the manhattan skyline as the backdrop. xo
my dad and I will be going to NYC next weekend for a father-daughter trip...and a sunset Shearwater sailing trip is on our itinerary! i'm so glad you enjoyed it; I can't wait!!
Oh No...I wish I had known, I manage the Carousel in Dumbo and love reading your blog! Hope you enjoyed your visit!
Sounds super fantastic! Enjoy yourselves!
HA! Nerd out. That's what I do 99% of the time. I love it.
What a wonderful way to spend an evening. You're right about NYC nailing it sometimes.
I've only been a few times, but there is a magical quality about it that makes me want to go back as often as possible.
rachel, i would have loved to meet oyu! the carousel is amazing. (as we walked up, in the beautiful sunshine, i actually said out loud to myself, "this is spectacular.":) next time, i'll ask around to see if you're there and hopefully can say hello!
and anna, you guys are going to have a wonderful time!
Great news but bad timing for me. I will be in New York for the first time Sept 21-26 so I'll be returning to Canada when your guide comes out!
This is a great site full of great content. I love coming to this blog kindle 3g review
How fun! And um, can't wait for the series next week!
