I love New York.  We lived in Manhattan for seven years and have so many wonderful memories and amazing friends who continue to live there.  I still can't believe we left over four years ago!  Each time we go back, I always have a list of favorite places and I constantly struggle with balancing visiting our "old haunts" and taking the time to explore new ones.  Alex and I have gotten better about trying at least one new restaurant while in the city and then re-visiting all of our old favorites.
