This will be an emotional Mothers Day for me. Not only because I’m still amazed every day by my first daughter, but because I am now pregnant with my second.  Becoming a mother has been one of the most inspiring happenings in my life and I am so proud to be a part of the “mommy club”. I look forward to years of crayon colored cards, sloppy breakfasts in bed and construction paper flowers. Those are the times moms live for.

Raising a family in New York City is so perfectly ideal for special occasions such as Mother Day. Here are a few things that you can do this Sunday to celebrate the woman who has raised you and loved you since forever ago.

PHOTO: Ruth and Herbert at The Roosevelt Hotel New York in 1955.

In the summer of 1955, love found its way to The Roosevelt Hotel New York. Married in our Terrace Ballroom in July of 1955, Ruth and Herbert made memories in the celebration of their love and unity by taking the leap into marriage.

It wasnt until their 45th wedding anniversary in July of 2000 that Ruth and Herbert made their way back to The Roosevelt Hotel and we were beyond happy to have them back with us!  It was just for a weekend getaway, but this happy couple rekindled in the Big Apple and even got to see a Broadway show!

They came back to us for the big 50th anniversary and we are now looking forward to having Ruth and Herbert stay with us once again for their 55th anniversary! 

Congratulations Rith and Herbert on your upcoming anniversary!  We are proud to consider you part of The Roosevet

In honor of Bike Month, I thought I would list some of my favorite places to bike here in the city!

ACROSS THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE
Love this ride! It’s one of my favorite views on the Big Apple. When on the Brooklyn side, be sure to stop in at Grimaldi’s Pizza for the PERFECT slice. Take a moment to hop off your two wheels and take in the amazing views of Lower Manhattan, Governors Island, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty.
