This weekend I popped over to NYC to experience my first ever American Halloween.
As soon as we woke up on Saturday morning, we headed out in the fu-reezing rain to buy pumpkins, fruit & veg.
The Union Square Market is the place for fresh, local produce in New York.
If you're in the city one weekend, go check it out & make sure you try before you buy! Free tasters are what markets are all about!
Having frozen my tail off choosing pumpkins, we jumped in a taxi and headed over to City Bakery for a huge bowl of the richest, thickest hot-chocolate you can imagine, topped with a home-made iceburg of a marshmallow.
Just as we arrived home, the heavens opened & the snow fell thick & fast.
Snow... in New York... in October!!
Just enough time for frozen margaritas & tacos before...
...getting dressed up & heading out to play with all the other New York Halloweeners.
We met the gorgeous Lara & Natasha for dinner at Catch before heading out to Boom Boom Room, downtown.
Our sleepy Sunday was spent wondering around galleries in Greenwich Village, grabbing a slice, hot dogs & generally enjoying the sunshine & rapidly melting snow.
After a stroll around Central Park, we headed to Papaya King for a snackerdoodle.
If you haven't tried Papaya King, do it!
It's been a New York institution since 1935, and my personal favourite is 'Sides on top'.
A classic hot dawg, smothered in curly fries, cheese & chilli.
Mmmm hmmmm!
Then, it was back home to decorate the house, for our last Halloween party.
My baby pumpkins!
(One of them had a little too much to drink.)
One last sunrise and it was time to head home.
New York was magical, as always.
I can't wait to go back!
How did you spend Halloween? I'd love some costume inspiration for next year, so please share if you've seen any awesome ones!
