Andrew and I went to NYC for the weekend. It was FREEZING cold, really crowded and probably the most fun we’ve had vacationing together ever! It was 4 days of chaos, chilly winds, bus rides, subways, museums, food, food and food. We toured Uptown and Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn. We shopped in SOHO, ate cupcakes and soup at the Chelsea market, dined over fondue on Park Avenue, visited MoMA, the Museum of Natural History, Madame T’s wax museum (where I got to kiss George Bush and Brad Pitt), the Empire State, Grand Central Station and the World Trade Center site. We basically took in the entire city and all its glory in less than 72 hours, with some time to spare for sleeping, eating and a Broadway show (The Producers)! We even got ourselves lost at sometime around midnight and were nearly killed in a dog raid in the subway systems (I’ve never seen so many police officers gathered in one place at one time!).
I love NY! It’s a walking city, with neighborhoods boasting their own personalities and flavors (I hate having to spell words like ‘flavours’ in American. Bleh to spellcheck!). I’ve fallen in love with the subway system and can’t fathom why city planners in the Bay Area can’t get their acts together and build something similar!
Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm NYC. I think I’ll need a dose of you every year or so! I heart you!
Pictures will be posted in the next entry!!!
