Snow in NY (and ode to Ferragamo shoes)

After a delicious dinner at the HCNY, I went back to Chelsea where my friends apartment is. I fell asleep immediately after reaching their place, tired, full and with a bit of chill from the walk back.
This morning I woke up at 5:30 (ok, ok, I am jet lagged) to find NY covered in snow. The view from the apartment was beautiful, but I was dreading going outside eithout appropriate shoes.
I had a breakfast appointment at Balthazar and had a bit of walking to SOHO..what to do?

I ventured out, with my 5 inch heels and no socks. The snow was already turning into slush and I was fearing for the worst. My feet stayed dry all the way to Spring street (where I walked into a puddle) and I started believing in the divinity of Salvatore Ferragamo. Who else can design a shoe that looks beautiful, feels great and keeps you dry in the snow???

After all the walking, Balthazar felt like a warm blanket on a cold night..I had Eggs Benedict with home fries. The best eggs benedict I ever had (but don't tell Mr.R)!

One of my favorites places to eat in NYC. You can walk in 5 inch heels? Very impressive. :)
