More of my NYC Trip....

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">BlogFest was a nice event and for only $100 per person to attend, it was a great deal! I enjoyed the short time I attended, which was only the first day. So, that means I can't get really in depth - but I will tell you that I'll probably attend next year as well! We were all introduced to editors from several magazines, including </span><b><a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">House Beautiful</span></u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></a></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and </span><b><a href="http://www.veranda.com/"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Veranda</span></u></a></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The first event was mostly introductions as well as a nice delicious lunch on the 44th floor of the Hearst Tower hosted by </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/">House Beautiful Magazine</a>!</u></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">  </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Below I'm posting pics of the event along with other places I visited while in the city!
