The Village and the Lower East Side have always been my favorite areas of Manhattan. I worked in several stores and businesses there throughout my 20’s including Manic Panic and Unique Clothing Warehouse. I also hung out there with friends, going to see the midnight showing of Rocky Horror at the 8th Street Playhouse, hanging out in Washington Square Park or going to CBGB’s to watch local bands. There was an energy in the Village that was unlike anywhere else.
One of our trips back home (we live in Florida now), my husband and I took our two daughters (our son wasn’t with us on this trip) to the Village to show them some of the places we loved.
My favorite place to shop – Trash & Vaudeville!
My daughter and I after we did some shopping and she changed into the skirt we bought.

Also, I’m pretty sure this was the neighborhood that Carrie Bradshaw lived in from Sex and the City…. right?! Gorgeous.

August 20, 2015 at 9:53 amYour day with your daughter looks like it was so much fun! We have never explored New York and having only been there twice, we have never had a chance to explore the quieter more scenic parts esp the parks.

August 19, 2015 at 3:50 amOh my goodness, the last time I was on the east coast, specifically NY… Gah! 2006?? It’s been so long and to be honest, I am not even sure I can go back – I have way too much history over there, it would just be so strange!
