Since only like 2 1/2 people follow this blog, I guess I could use that as a reason for not finishing my NYC trip details. Lets just say it was an AMAZING trip filled with lots of sight seeing, walking and eating. The crazy awesome thing was that even after all that walking, I didn't get as tired as you'd expect from going all day long. Growing up in a small town most of my life, it was the busy-ness of the city which made me more tired.
A brief overview after day 1:
Guggenheim museum: weird non art, art
Central Park Zoo: very small and disappointing but didn't really have time for the much larger and more famed Bronx Zoo
Rockefeller Plaza: "Top of the Rock" provides very good views of the city, purchased purple tulips at a corner market (I've always wanted to do that)
Little Italy: Ate a delicious Italian meal for $8 a plate. You have so many places to choose from, keep walking till you find the cheap one!
Bodies museum: Glad to see it because I missed Bodyworlds when it was in town. So neat to see all the intricate details of the body
Authentic NY pizza in Brooklyn underneath the Brooklyn Bridge and delicious ice cream at Brooklyn Ice cream factory (well worth the trip outside of Manhattan!)
Chinatown on Canal street: so many cheap things to buy! Handbags, jewelry, pashminas, t-shirts and other random touristy crap. I didn't think that there were places in the US you could bargain with the sales people like you do in other countries but here on Canal street you can do so and get a pretty good deal. We found I heart NY T-shirts for only $2 if you purchase 10 at once. Never a better souvenir for the family and friends back home!
Times Square!
Central Park
Washington Square Park
Riding the subway
New York is amazing and has been my favorite to visit. So many wonderful things to do and see! I would go again in a heartbeat!
