Guess what? HCG is in New York!
Actually, it isn’t as cool as it sounds. I came here on an unplanned work trip on Tuesday morning, so please excuse the lack of posts. I simply haven’t been able to keep up with my regular posting schedule. As is the life of a super successful low level attorney!
Although this trip is extremely work heavy, I’m attempting to squeeze in some fun while I’m here. I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my good friend and HCG reader Caitlin (aka “C”) last night at The Stantion Social on the Lower East Side. C and I meet up in person only a few times a year, so the chatting at dinner was nonstop (especially since The Biggest Loser finale had just occurred the night before). It goes without saying that we deeply missed 1/3 of ARC, our girl Alex in Boston. Holla, A!
Of course, there’s the shopping factor. I will attempt suicide if I cannot make it over to Uniqlo in Soho before I leave (for Christmas presents, of course – ha! I couldn’t even type that with a straight face). Plus, the DVF sample sale ends tomorrow, and I’d love to get over there, too. Keep your fingers crossed!
FYI: There are several more installments of the Gift Guide that will go up as soon as possible. We know the clock is ticking to buy gifts, and we’re on it! Worst case scenario: you can just buy the stuff for yourself.

My friend Allie who interns at DVF just told me how she got a lot of awesome/cute things at the sale! I hope you make it over there!
P.S. maybe you’ll see Chuck Bass like I did last week, be careful he walks around with his head down…he can’t fool avid GG fans like us though!
Love Stanton Social, amazing French Onion Soup Dumpling and Red Snapper Taco.
This HCG reader/team member remembers passing Billy’s Antiques & Props many times one fateful Saturday. Hope you get to make the pilgrimage to Uniqlo!
Oh you’ve got to get to Uniqlo! I thought about you guys having dinner on Wednesday night and missed you both!
It was awesome to see you! And I loved the TWINKIE. There, I said it.
Thanks to everyone for the awesome comments!
Hoolie: I didn’t make it to DVF, and I will make it my life’s mission to attend that sample sale in the future. No Chuck Bass either (that may have made up for missing DVF, though). Tell Allie HCG is very jealous of her internship. If they need any 27-year-old real estate lawyers, please send her my contact information.
Sara: The French Onion Soup Dumplings were delicious! I loved the mac & cheese, too. Great to hear from you!
Joco (aka “Joe”): Thank you for your inaugural HCG comment. You should really comment more often.
Alex: Uniqlo was the only place I was able to get to, and I got 10 pairs of tights and a bunch of clothes (the place is amazing). Will we ever shop there together? C and I missed you at dinner!
C: That was one impressive TWINKIE. You should be proud of me for leaving it out of the post :) Keep up the hard work at http://www.cnn.com/ (you can thank me later for the extra 1 million hits the site will get from that link).
