D-I-E for L-I-C

As much as we're city girls at heart, we do venture out to the boroughs at times, so last night I went out to Long Island City, in Queens, to visit a dear friend of mine I've known since long before we were both fabulous and living in NY. We enjoyed the beautiful fall evening with a pasta dinner al fresco with a backdrop of the Empire State Building and the whole of New York City at our taking. After dinner we took a stroll along the piers, enjoying the beautiful view of the skyline and marveling at how lucky we are to have made it to where we are, struggling every day to conquer this big behemoth of a city, while loving it all along the way. Sometimes you need to take a step out of the heart of NYC to appreciate the beauty of this city and all that it has to offer...
