Thank you for such a great week talking about New York! I hope you enjoyed my guide; and thanks for leaving such great recommentions and funny comments. Have a wonderful weekend, and here are some New-York-City-themed links from around the web. Next week, we'll be back to regular scheduled programming! :)Sounds of New York.
Skyline shower curtain.
If you live in New York, you'll end up crying in public.
Funny snow globe.
A candle that smells like the Times.
An I-Heart-New-York tee that's actually cool.
Taxi mittens.
New York City prints.
Speaking of where to live, here's a fascinating cost-of-living calculator.
And this Onion article made me laugh out loud.
A lego Empire State Building.
My friends are hosting a great event this weekend for moms and daughters.
A few past Cup of Jo posts about NYC:
* A subway poster.
* New Yorkers are nice.
* New York City Hall wedding.
* A wedding where the bride wore overalls!
* A genius hammock.
* What a hilarious book.
* Bill Murray being weird.
Also, we found a mouse in the apartment today, eeks. The perfect end to a week about New York City, haha! Have a good one. xoxo

I really enjoyed your posts about New York. Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful weekend too. :)
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the week's posts Jo..Have a good weekend in New York! :-) And you might need to buy more cheese. LOL
ReplyDeleteJoanna, THANK YOU for this amazing guide. It will definitely be useful in November, when I'm visiting NYC for the first time. Can't wait to go to the places you've recommended.:)
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna, I have absolutely loved your NYC guide - thank you! I am visiting NYC in Jan 2012 with my partner and I cannot wait to tick off all the places you have recommended! Have a wonderful weekend xx
ReplyDeletelove everything on New York. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBill Murray is one of my favorites, he looks so sad in that pic you have. He has a house in the small town of Hemet, California that I grew up in. Wish he would have showed up at a local bar or party when we were out. Hemet's local bar Chappies.
I also loved New York week! My husband and I honeymooned in NYC and had so much fun. I'm anti-tourist stuff, but I obliged and did a few to make him happy. I would love to go back (and now we have an almost one year old who I'm sure would love it too!) xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jo,
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the most amazing photo of New York WOW!. I plan on visiting very soon and your week of posts has been very inspiring. Thank you,

Oh no not a mouse! We've been fighting them for a few weeks now, I thought they were cute and harmless at first, I have since taken on a different opinion :) I hope it was just one wandering in to check things out. I loved the guide, so many places in our town I haven't checked out. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteJoanna,
ReplyDeleteI LOVED your posts this week. I haven't been to New York in about 8 years... and you made me want to plan a return voyage! Someday soon!
joanna-
ReplyDeleteyou need to post the NYC guide all over again in the middle of January when i'm hatin' on new york.
I think New Yorkers are so nice too! The last time I was there I stayed at the Hotel on Rivington in the lower east side and met so many people from Ohio, was approached by people, complimented, and invited out by the bartender at the hotel even. I was only there for a day on that trip but the only unfriendly person I encountered was the beautiful woman working at In God We Trust, go figure! That is, until we began talking of Vladimir Nobokov...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, it's been a fascinating week to dream of going back to New York on your blog!
we found a mouse in our house today too. haha.
ReplyDeleteGotta love NYC! I haven't been there for 6 yrs, time to trek back there:-)
ReplyDeleteenjoy your weekend love!
A candle that smells like newsprint? Yes please.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED these past few posts on NYC, it's my favorite place in the world! Your posts made me miss it so much, I keep telling my husband "We need to go to the city!" pretty much everyday ;)
ReplyDeleteP.S. We bought that Lego Empire State Building in the gift shop right after we got engaged on top of the building last summer =)
I have thoroughly enjoyed your NYC guide - thank you for sharing! Such wonderful picks and tips!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous pic! Thanks for sharing all of your NY expertise. I've passed it all on to my sister who's leaving for NY in a couple of weeks!

Where can I buy that photo of central park? Love it. Nicolle
ReplyDeleteI can only say a big THANK YOU for the NY guide, I have enjoyed it so much!
ReplyDeleteI´ll be saving it for the next time I get the chance to visit, for sure.
Hi Joanna, thanks for all of the great posts this week. As always I enjoyed your Friday links, especially the article about crying in public. I tend to be overly talkative and playful with strangers and they always look at me like I'm crazy, but it makes me feel good to be nice. Have a great weekend, I'm off to Chicago for my baby shower. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI live for "have a nice weekend!" Seriously! Thanks for posting it every time
ReplyDeleteThanks for the NYC guide Joanna, your blog is my favorite and this week it was just over the top fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLovely weekend all :)
ReplyDeleteThat cartoon at the bottom is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend and HAPPY OCTOBER!!
Thank you so much for all the posts about my favorite city in the world where I lived for 5 years...and met my husband! We miss it a lot.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend

ReplyDeleteI have bookmarked your New York Tips. We go twice a year for the Gift Show, so definitely look into the restaurants and hotels. Oh and the tips on how to look like a native.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the apartment! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to these fun links every Friday. You find the best things:)

Ooh, that Times of New York Candle reminds me over the Paddywax Library candles based on famous authors: http://fortheloveofbookshops.wordpress.com/2011/09/27/paddywax-library-candles/
ReplyDeleteLove it!
haha, Caitlin, he came in to eat our pita chips :)
ReplyDeletenicolle, you might email the photographer to see if he sells them? his website is linked at the bottom of the post. good luck!!
ReplyDeleteLise, oh no!!! :) and Liv, that is so sweet; how romantic. xo
ReplyDeleteI love New York, I've visited several times over the last ten years, and I'll definitely save these posts for my next trip! :) Hugs from Norway!
ReplyDelete.... and I got engaged there seven years ago, in front of Tiffany's :)
ReplyDeletebetter than a rat, right??? thanks for the great week of posts. i'm itchin' to get back there!
ReplyDeletep.s. i found new yorkers incredibly nice when i visited!
Yikes! I can't handle the whole mice thing! That's probably the only reason I won't move to New York. Is it really that bad?
ReplyDeletelove your NYC guide--and I live here
ReplyDeleteYour guide was just AMAZING!!! Thank you so so much for sharing..
ReplyDeletelove :)
This was fun! I loved the link to crying in public. I remember being on the subway once after my first real heartbreak and a blind man playing beethoven on a violin made me burst into tears. I looked up, straight into another woman, also crying. It was one of the most intimate moments I've ever had with a stranger. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNICE <3

I really loved this week and all your info about New York. And I love those taxi mittens! Thank-you for sharing all your insights, Joanna. Looking forward to next week, too.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I love NYC! Great article, very helpful. I wish that I could go back there very soon. I miss it.
ReplyDeletehttp://gil-reallife.blogspot.com
OMG I dont live there anymore but did for 3 years and I definetely cried in public..its such a strange feeling..trying to hide it and then finally realizing its pointless ..too many people. Def a NYC rite of passage. That made me laugh ;)
ReplyDeleteTop picture of Central Park. I enjoyed the view from Top of the Rock but this is not taken from that building.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Thanks so much for your guide to NYC! It made me want to visit again sometime soon and use your recommendations!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your New York posts! Sooo helpful! My fiancee and I are eloping to New York this Saturday and are getting married at City Hall the following week so all of these tips and hints have been very very helpful!
ReplyDeleteEm
wow that article about crying in public in new york was beautiful. thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThe sounds of New York City link was awesome. I have never been on a subway, or a ferry, or the Brooklyn Bridge and after listening to those little clips of course now I feel like I have!
ReplyDeleteJoanna - just found your blog and love it! Thanks for all the Ny tips, I've been dreaming of my return to the city - I may just have to plan a trip! Happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteGreat post, as always. Loved the crying in public article. As a "noncrier" I can't imagine crying in public. I head to the shower for a private cry. I can see, though, that being anonymous in a city and crying is very much the same since those who see you don't know you and won't usually ask. And it's drier, too.
ReplyDeleteI've thoroughly enjoyed this little series of yours. It is bookmarked for definite future use! Thanks : )
ReplyDeleteThis was a great series and I looked forward to reading them. You inspired me to do one on my beloved L.A.

Thanks for the awesome NYC posts! We moved here exactly 2 months ago, and have fallen in love with the city. Would you ever consider doing a "cold weather gear" post for NYC? We moved from Atlanta, and I have no idea what I'm going to need as we move into the cooler (and then colder) seasons. You're the best!

Hello, darling!
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your New York posts this week...especially since I'm coming in 20 days!
I love the links too. I would really love to buy the mittens:)
Have a divine week!

Actually. I take that back. The Say Something Nice video was my favourite. I loved it. And it made me excited to visit New York♥
ReplyDelete*loved* the crying article. so brilliantly written and insightful. also, i might need to buy that candle just to see if the smell is accurate. :)
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed your interesting post :) Great Job !!!
ReplyDeleteI loved stumbling across your blog! It looks like you write about so much covering all topics! I love it, very inspirational. We're new to this blogging thing so we will definitely be back!

I have a black I <3 NY tee that I love, my friend bought it back for me when she went to new york last fall, I asked her to bring me anything with I <3 NY on it. I adore it.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo
ReplyDeletethanks for following

I should have read your NY guide before my visit 5 years ago...
ReplyDeleteI will keep it for next time!
I so enjoyed each and every NY post you shared! Thanks for collecting and linking all the info in such a thorough way. Looking forward to planning a trip to the big apple very soon, thanks to your guide!

We had a mouse in the house (in our kitchen sink, yipes!) yesterday and I about had a heart attack. Hope you handled it much better than I did! (I covered the sink with a board so he couldn't get out and then left the house for the entire day until my husband could come home and take care of it. Tears may have also been involved. I'm such a baby!)
ReplyDelete(And that's in LA for the record. ;)
p.s. The mouse ended up still being alive 12 hours later and was happily nibbling on a piece of cheese he found in the bottom of the sink. It was like a cartoon mouse!
Such a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteIt is an great post and blog. I will come back frequently!
ReplyDeletehey your blog is very nice, you have really updated it with nice stuff and content, i liked reading your blog, you have really done a good effort for your blog

I loved this series! It was refreshing to see so much original content all week long, and I'm already planning my next trip to New York now!
ReplyDeletewww.wearingitall.blogspot.com
I loved this series. So inspiring and insightful! I've learned in NYC for 3 years and learned all sorts of new fun things to try. BUT...I was wondering where the most romantic in all of NYC was? Did I miss that?
ReplyDeleteI'm heading to NYC this weekend for a vacation, so your posts have been inspiring! Where is the title photo for this post from? Do you know if I could buy it as a print somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that Onion article - every word is truth, but somehow you can't help but love this city :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how well timed these posts are. I've just spent my first week in New York and am already smitten... My favourite day so far has been walking the High Line and then biking down the west side of Manhattan taking in all the piers and parks, ending with a cycle across Brooklyn Bridge and exploring Dumbo. I can't wait to check out your other suggestions! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI have read a few of the articles on your website now, and I really like your style of blogging. I added it to my favorites weblog list and will be checking back soon.
