Weekend # Last

Woke up and checked the (rapidly depleting) balance in my bank account. Found enough $$$ to buy myself a parting gift (or two) from the city (it's not totally a one sided relationship, though, I assure you). As I walk from West Village to TriBeCa this morning to my last Saturday morning brunch of lemon ricotta pancakes (step it up, iHop) at SaraBeths, contemplating at excellent Market Week I was able to assist with at Camuto Group...I acknowledge that NYC encapsulates so much more than shoes or clothes or shopping in general. I'll spend my weekend lingering in-and-out of shops in SoHo and eateries on the Upper West, while remembering the times, experiences, laughs and tears that have made this summer, this internship, completely worth it. Thanks for growin' me right on up, New York.
