Thanks to our neighbors at Balloon Kings!
One of the things I've missed the most during the last year are the events that were part of New York City life. A lot of them were indoor events, but there were so many fun things that took place out of doors. I was delighted to see that Balloon Kings, a local balloon bouquet business, was sponsoring a balloon event to celebrate the 50% expansion of indoor seating at restaurants. Out of doors and on the first day of spring, I knew I'd be there.

The balloon decorations were at several neighborhood restaurants. One was a favorite (pictured below), but I've never tried the others. The area is a "restaurant row" and the lineup of little buildings that you see on the left belong to the restaurants on the block. This goes on for five or six blocks and there are probably five restaurants on each block and both sides of the street. It's somewhere I often choose when I'm thinking of eating out and there's a terrific variety of cuisines to choose from. Almost all of them put in outdoor seating in the last year and now is the perfect weather to sit outside for a meal.

It was fun to usher in the spring with these perfect Pink Saturday event and pictures. The week ahead is a quiet one, but some prepping and cleaning for Passover, which begins on Saturday. Tomorrow we're doing a Mug Monday in New England and announcing the winner of Craft Coffee. I hope you'll join us for the coffee fun.
As ever, thanks for visiting and have a great spring week.

Nothing can unite cheer us like a ballon does. They do remind us of parties and happy times. Loved seeing your pictures. Nice way to start the week off with a smile!
I love the balloons! What a way to kick off spring and the opening up of more inside dining. Yay!
This is a great and colorful way to welcome spring and outdoor dining too. Several restaurants here already have put out tables and chairs and on a walk downtown tonite there were some outdoor diners despite a chilly evening. I do a mug day everyday in New England!
What a joy to see those balloons, no matter what age you are.
