bryant park festivities.

Sunday afternoon was exciting as Todd and I ventured up to Bryant Park to get a taste of the beginning of a New York Christmas. Replacing the Central Lawn was a big and beautiful ice skating rink already full with skaters. It's the only free rink in the city—as long as you bring your own skates.

Unfortunately this brought up a past debate that Todd and I had since his own skates got cut on our nyc packing list. He wasn't too excited about that and felt this furthered his reasoning. {Hey, storage is precious in the city, and they'd just sit there for the other 9 months. Ladies, you know what I'm talking about!}

Set up around the rink were some really cute shops that we enjoyed window shopping. But considering it was Sunday, our favorite shop happened to be Kettle Corn NYC who was handing out free samples! Chocolate caramel, coconut, blue ranch, and cheddar are just a few flavors to name...coconut being my new favorite!

Look for the big tree in the background. It hasn't been decorated yet, but I hear it becomes the most beautiful tree in NYC. Can't wait!
