10 photos from New York: Skylines and Smooches

Last month, we spent a few days in New York before heading to Boston. The weather cooperated, the cupcakes were plentiful, and I remembered why one of my favorite cities in the world is precisely that. Here are ten photos from our adventures in Manhattan.

   A reminder. As though we might forget where we were.

    I can't tell if he was weary or wary.
