It evidently is not cold enough here in North Carolina, because I’ll be traveling north with friends for the next week. I’ll be in New York City just in time for New York Fashion Week, which I’ll be ignoring, and the Westminster Dog Show, which I may have to trick my friends into attending. Otherwise it will be nonstop museum hopping and fabric shopping, with a bit of sight-seeing and warm bars and restaurants thrown in for fun.
There will be scheduled posts here while I’m gone, and I’ll try to check in to reply to comments. I’ll be posting on Instagram as well, so check in for a preview of all the things I’ll find to write about here on The Vintage Traveler.

Well, I never say OMG but OMG, what a wonderful trip! Stay warm, lubricated and go for it! For me, Irish coffees are the perfect fuel for this sort of adventure.

Well, I was OMG when I found out we were going, which was only three weeks ago. I can deal with Irish coffee!

I might be tempted to run over to Lincoln Center (where most of the shows are held) just so I can marvel at the stupid way the fashionistas dress for extreme weather. I was watching a show online yesterday and many of them had on stiletto sandals!
I find the shops more interesting as well. I really don’t like being shown stuff that won’t be in the stores for almost a year. I’m an immediate gratification type.

Oh Lizzie – glad you’re headed north, bring plenty of toasty clothes – it’s mighty chilly up here.

Amanda, I had to go out and buy cold weather boots, as here they are rarely needed. I also found wool tights and undershirts, fleece-lined leggings and insulated socks. I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.

It’s more likely that I’ll just go see the breed competitions (Scotties, in particular) while my friends are at their conference. They are working while I’m playing!

Looking forward to your New York trip comments….Safe travels to you !
By the way….cute picture of the portly woman bundled up in wool coat, hat and gloves on the “boarding steps” of the (my guess a D-C3) Inland Airlines Plane…she must be headed north too, from the looks of her clothes.
Have fun, Lizzie

I’ve heard that the weather in NYC isn’t as cold and snowy as it is here in Boston. I hope it doesn’t interfere with your museum-hopping. Have a great time!

Nothing can come between this woman and her museums! If they are open, I’ll be there. And thanks!
