It’s going on ten years since I last visited New York. The last time I had a wonderfully boozy dinner at Docks on Third Avenue, which is Blog commentator Lee’s afternoon haunt for nibbles and cocktails.
I mention my garrulous friend because I received a lovely gift from her on Saturday. Three martini glasses direct from the Big Apple.
I promise New York will be on my list to revisit at some point. The High Line, Moma, Grand Central’s Oyster Bar, Central Park , Docks …..perhaps one day Lee and I will raise a glass together at that famous art deco bar
Lovely gift glasses from Lee and a joyous plan for your future visit to NYC! Plans and dreams we make come true add joy to life!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I hope I will get there one day x 🌈❤️🙏
DeleteSquire…..happy hour is 3 pm and in honor of you my darling I will raise a cocktail very soon to everyone in my second home in wales . Sorry one glass got smashed, I want a photo of you and Eleanor using them

It was incredibly kind of you and loved the cocktail sticks hidden away ! I would be proud to buy you dinner and drinks xxx
DeleteI’m now at the bar in Docks. I never eat here, just cocktails so I will be a cheaper date. At 7 pm I will walk home to 5th Avenue sometimes ( a little tight ! )
Deletelol
It’s quiet and I told the barman of you, he said you would be given a vodka martini on the house !
That will do me , I couldn’t walk after three of them
DeleteHic
DeleteLee
I’m on my way home after my next hit
DeleteLee 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸
That is a beautiful gift from Lee. You must be so charmed and delighted.
ReplyDeleteI’m always delighted with my gifts xx
DeleteNow every time you use those glasses, you'll think of Lee. You need to start planning and saving up for that NY trip! xx
ReplyDeleteI’ve had a gin in one tonight
DeleteCool, elegant glasses. Such an incredible city (and with a great new mayor). Not a country I want to visit at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHe’s very hot too my friend
DeleteNow those glasses are the perfect gift. Lee knows you well. I hope you and Lee, one day very soon, meet up in the Red Apple.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get back there soon!
ReplyDeleteThey did a very good job with the song. It suits their style,
ReplyDeleteWe must visit the Docks next time we're in NY - when the orange man has gone. I love a vodka martini. We might try the American Bar at the Savoy tonight (going to see Lucy Darling at the Palladium). x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful glasses. I really like that shape
ReplyDeleteWhile you’re in NY, drop by Chicago.
ReplyDeleteWe’ll go to the Art Institute and to Boystown.
XOXO
One can never have too many martini glasses. They break so easily, you know...
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI am a gin martini guy as opposed to a vodka…though now I think about I’ve never had a vodka martini!
I remember visiting NYC with my family for the 1964 World's Fair. No martinis for me.
ReplyDeleteA martini glass is always a useful thing! I don't remember Docks and don't think I ever went there myself, but I looked on Google Street View and it was there when I lived in NYC. Not sure why it never crossed my radar.
ReplyDeleteNearest I've been an am likely to get is the tow path between New York Stadium and the canal in Rotherham.
