This Memorial Day weekend, I was quite the NYC homebody.  I ventured close to home to Central Park, Queens, and Brooklyn.  Here are some of the highlights from my 2012 Memorial Day weekend.

I went to Central Park and to lunch with Cocktail Chic and her adorable dog Roscoe.  It was Roscoe’s first trip to Central Park and I’ve never seen him so happy.  At lunch, he needed a whole seat for himself because he won’t sit on the floor.  It was a total Hilton sister moment.

A cloudy and humid day in Columbus Circle.  This explains why there are no actual pictures of me in this weekend photo series.  The intense humidity of the weekend was unflattering to my hair and skin.  It’s going to be one hot and humid summer.

My mom, sister, stepdad, and cousin came into town Sunday on a whim.  We celebrated our Venezuelan heritage at an Arepa Cafe in Queens.  I’d love to return to the beaches on Venezuela someday.  But, for now, I’ll have to stick to NYC’s Venezuelan restaurants.

This box that sits on a bookshelf in my cousin’s apartment in Queens, basically describes my life an Aspiring Socialite.  I guess this city is full of dreamers.  I need to get a dream box of my own.
