The Met, Hot dogs, and Central Park!

This past Saturday, my roommate and fellow adventurer Rachel and I went on a spontaneous trip to New York City! We visited the Alexander McQueen exhibit "Savage Beauty" at the Met...it was definitely worth the trip! For those of you who aren't familiar with McQueen, he was a revolutionary fashion designer who tragically committed suicide last year.
The exhibit was a powerful display of the dark side of McQueen as well as his incredible innovation as a designer.

When it came to food, there was no question: HOT DOGS!!
We grabbed our local beef hot dogs from a stand at the Met and thoroughly enjoyed them on the steps.
Th best part about them? The soft pretzel hot dog buns! I am planning to try and make these...stay tuned!

We also witnessed a couple getting engaged on the steps! Guess we're good luck: )

After the museum, we sought respite in Central Park...the perfect place to escape the city grime and unwind. Sigh...a perfect day!

Lastly, we went to visit some Upper East Side puppies at the pet store:) So cute...it took all my power not to bring one back on the bus with me!

With this final step, the recipe to a perfect day was complete! The key ingredients: art, hot dogs, a rest in the park, and PUPPIES:)
