NY Moment

We used to have tons of “New York Moments”, and it seems a lot have to do with getting household items back to the apartment (which is always an adventure as a car-less family). 

Like the time I carried the microwave box in the rain, onto the subway, and back home. 

Or the time we bought a sitting chair on Craigslist and somehow fit it in a taxi to get it home. 

And, of course, buying a Christmas tree our first Christmas and walking it back to the apartment.

Yesterday we had another moment.  We had bought a vintage hutch from a local thrift shop and spent a few days trying to figure out how we were going to get it home.  It was only a block away, but not the easiest to manuever.  So I borrowed a moving dolly from my office building and last night we went and picked up our piece.  We got a ton of interesting looks from folks on the sidewalk, and were even helped out by a Good Samaritan named Joe who helped us navigate the last street corners. 

We love the new addition and glad it’s home.  Another fun NYC memory!
