We saw a taping of The Marriage Ref. I had seen online a while back where you could get tickets to this easily and for free so I decided to get us a couple...not really having high expectations for it. It actually was a lot of fun and extremely hilarious! I had only seen the show once before and I forgot how funny it is. I laughed harder than I had in a long time. It is Jerry Seinfeld's show and he was there and came out and talked to us at the beginning. The celebrity guests/judges that day were Rachel Ray and 2 comediens who I'm not really familiar with. Rachel Ray is so cute in person! And they were all really funny.
We took a day-trip on the Metro-North Railroad. We stopped in Cold Spring, NY and Beacon, NY. I had heard that Cold Spring was really cute with a lot of stores (and their website seemed to verify this), but we were disappointed. In person, the town felt a little run-down and the shops were almost all antique shops. I do love a good antique shop, but most of these were not very good and there were just too many of them and too much junk. We did, however, have some good eats in Cold Spring. We stopped for lunch in a little hole-in-the-wall burger joint I'd found on Yelp. We both enjoyed our burgers and had fun Christmasfying the table while we waited.
We also had a delicious treat at a popsicle shop in Cold Spring. I got a pumpkin one and it was SO good.
We went to Beacon because I had seen that there was going to be a Holiday Etsy sale there that day. We had no idea what to expect from the rest of Beacon, but we loved it! It was such a cute town and had much better/nicer stores than Cold Spring did. The Etsy sale was kind of small and nothing spectacular, but we were glad it took us to Beacon - definitely a town I'd consider returning to!
We wandered through the Plaza and saw the Christmas decor there.

We went to experience English Tea at Lady Mendl's at Irving Inn. Oh, I love this place. I said it last time I went, but it's hands-down the best traditional Tea I've ever experienced. You leave feeling full and happy. Our tea was delicious and so was the food and so much fun, too!
The Inn was decorated so pretty.
This tree was decorated with teacups!

We also shopped the Holiday Markets (Union Square and Bryant Park) and had a good dinner at La Lanterna (one of my go-to favs) in the West Village followed by goodies from Billy's in Chelsea. It was a fun weekend!
