Lindsay Lohan shorts short jean cut offs New York Dream Hotel

Lindsay Lohan looked refreshed and happy as she left New York's Dream Hotel on Saturday.

The actress, in cute jean shorts (or jorts, for our own 1990s nostalgia) and carrying an expensive Birkin bag, is in NYC to spend time with her family and take a few meetings (see what dad Michael had to say about her trip in our exclusive video below.) She'll be back in LA in a few days.

Some good news for Linds -- court reports show that she has finally signed up for counseling, which Judge Stephanie Sautner demanded the last time she was in court for a progress hearing. A step in the right direction!
