Always looking for an opportunity to hang out with my daughter, I drove to New York City this weekend to enjoy a weekend of beauty and bring a few much needed items to help Channing get organized in her new abode. Our plans included nails, make-up and hair. But as I see it…I was in an “Empire, State of Mind” for a Girl’s Beauty Weekend. So many choices and so much wealth, you see this in the people, the restaurants, buildings and their history. Competition for your dollar but opportunities to satisfy everyone’s budget.
I got to the Upper East Side late Friday night but immediately, I was impressed by my daughter’s choice of living space: a beautiful well maintained complex built in 1911. Though nicely updated over the years. I found it amazing that two people can function in a 500 square foot apartment with their separate bedrooms. As the song “New York, New York” says if you can make it here, you can make it anyway especially in such small living quarters.
