New York City!!

Had a blast in New York City visiting my good friend Jessa. I got to enjoy the big city life for a few days and that is about all I think I could handle. The following is my brief assessment of the city.

Skyline view from Brooklyn Bridge

Pros:
- so much to see and do. you will never be bored. Central park, Museum, Broadway, off Broadway etc.
- fantastic shopping.
- city that never sleeps. bars are open till 4am.
- Great Food!
Cons:
- so much to see and do. you will spend lots of money.
- subways. Hot. Dirty.
- random smells.
- so many people. you can feel it in the air.
- you always feel like you need to shower because its hot, smelly, and crowded.

To recap my visit. I left Thursday and got back Monday. This is the perfect amount of time. Got to do everything. Maybe 1 day more for tourist stuff would have been nice but im going back in a few weeks so im not disappointed. I happened to come during restaurant week which means almost restaurant in the city had price fixed menus for $35 or less. It was great. We went to club 21 on my first night, fantastic. We also saw Harry Potter in 3D at midnight which was great.

The Met

Then Friday I gave myself a self tour of the met. Got myself there and back via the subway system all by myself (and google maps on my iphone). The met is great. I only wish I could have been there with Alex he would have really enjoyed it and it would have been fun to talk about with him. There was an Alexander McQueen (the person who designed lady gaga's clothes) exhibit while I was there but there was an hour wait so I did not bother.

The Lake in Central Park

That night we saw the play, Love, Loss and What I Wore. It was very cute and got us in the mood for the shopping we had planned for the weekend.

Purl Soho

The shopping was super fun. I got great stuff. The following picture is the trinkets i treated myself too. The tote is a canvas tote that is made to look like the bloomingdales bags. Super cute. The red purse is longchamp and i love it. The yarn is from purl soho a famous yarn store in new york. The playbill from the pay is there. And the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle purfurme, my glamorous fun purchase.

Perfect purchases. The best food I consumed while there are as pictured below. I am seriously still thinking about how good this food was this long after. 

These first two are from Juniors. Rated the #1 best new york style cheesecake. 

 For dinner I had a reuben. It was great. Mouthwatering.

 OMG. So creamy. So amazing. Strawberry shortcake style. I want more.

Then duh. New York hotdogs from the street vendor. He tried to charge us $3 but jessa haggled down to $2.

Well those are the highlights of my trip. I hope you enjoyed.
