Last Wednesday I was so glad I could meet up with one of my girlfriends and enjoy the relatively balmy evening. Bryant Park is back to it's Holiday shopping and skating glorious atmosphere. It's such pleasure to walk about and check out the stores, before the upcoming crowds come in. We promised to come again and enjoy it from Celcius. I didn't find the silk batik store I bought my several gorgeous silk scarves. Also the soap store we went to with friends last year. However there is plenty, in fact seems to me more stores were added to the high quality eclectic line of designer stores. Indeed great shoppers paradise right in the heart of New York City.  Sharing here several pictures I took. They would certainly give you great idea about one of my favorite spots. Check it out and enjoy. Give us a shout out next time you go there and your pictures too.
