Pink Saturday Goes to Macy's

 

Remember me to Herald Square...

Finally -- after a month of thinking about it -- I made a return to Macy's. Not only did I brave the subway, but in perhaps, the greatest act of bravery for 2021, I went bathing suit shopping, followed up with a stop at the summer linen sale. I found both a well-priced bathing suit and a new pillow, and I lived to blog about it.   

As the spring passes into summer things feel more and more "normal," and a shopping and lunch day at Macy's with my college friend, Jane, felt like a return to the pre-pandemic days. The only notable differences were that we wore masks and the store was less crowded. 

Between a long stop in bathing suits and our very successful visit to sheets and pillows -- the latter will be the subject of a post later this month -- we made a quick stop in the pajama section. There was an array of cute pajamas that were enticing, but I had no energy after trying on bathing suits. But this one especially caught my eye. 

Yes, Wednesday is for Pink Pajamas and 

Pink Saturday is for blogging.

We made it a totally fun day and included lunch at Macy's. Only one restaurant is open out of the dozen or so that were open pre-pandemic and we splurged a little on a delicious Italian lunch in a very elegant dining room. The food was great and the ambience was terrific, but the view was spectacular, starting with Herald Square above. 

I turned my head and this iconic view of the Empire State Building was my reward. 

I enjoyed the first day of the holiday weekend with virtual services  this morning, coffee with a friend and a trip to the gym. Tomorrow is a cookout with friends -- fingers crossed for some sun -- outside of Manhattan. 

I love my blog makeover and will be doing a post about it later in the week. It's been on my to-do list for literally years and I'm glad to have moved it off the list. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and have a great Fourth!
