Part 3 of a series following Portland and New Hampshire following a 7 or 8 state (I can’t remember) trip I took the last two weeks. I am very behind on both blogging and comments as I am still jetlagged and exhausted but bear with me as I catch up. : )
I figured I’d do a mostly wordless post with some scenes from my short stint in New York City. Kentucky, North Carolina, and Boston may be ignored as I somehow ended up with about five useable pictures. What are you going to do?
I can no longer indulge in the best street-card food—hot dogs—but I’ll settle for a soft pretzel the size of my face for a buck, please.
Ever since I lived in New York when I was younger, the black and white cookie has remained one of my favorite desserts. I like the white part a bajillion times better than the black, but this time upon finding out that some places do “all black” or “all white” cookies, I had to stick to the classic. Just felt wrong.
Had to see my favorite show, Rent, off-broadway while I was in town… which meant I had to buy a new $18 dress to wear.
99 cent pizza at midnight should probably be illegal.
(That’s my “I’m happy because I ran 4 miles quicker than 8:30 pace which is really good for me and did I mention I’m sweating and dehydrated and only ate street food the day before and man I need a bagel” face.)
I do love New York. I feel like I’ve spent so much time in the city that it feels comfortable and I don’t feel pressured to do any particular activities, but I appreciate how unique it is compared to every other city in America. I almost had a heart attack when I was wandering through Hell’s Kitchen at 11:30PM looking for dinner and there were TONS of places that were open—all I can get after 9PM in my SF neighborhood is booze or junk food! So cool. I feel a little claustrophobic in NYC—I need my green space and quiet neighborhood—BUT I do love to visit.
TIme to get some SLEEP and get caught up on life. New updates coming soon.
Night!

I’ve been going to NYC a lot lately now that I live only a 45 minute train ride away! : ) I like it a lot better than I thought I would! Is that Central Park where you were running? I fell in love this weekend. I had an absolute blast running there! I agree though, I’m not sure if I could live there.. I like green space : ) Though I’m not living in a super green place at the moment either.. who knows maybe I’ll move there someday before obviously ending up back in Boston!

I was in NY a couple of weekends ago too, always a good trip. I LOVE Rent!! One of my best friends played Angel in a production here in Boston. It’s also my favorite musical (that, and Wicked)!

Great pictures! I LOVE RENT! I’ve seen it twice in SF and it’s tied for favorite musical with Wicked!
I’ve been to New York once and I loved it… but it’s a bit too hectic and chaotic for me to want to live there! I loved the West Village, it reminded me of SF!
And you can’t beat the food!

Its on my bucket list to go to NY and eat a black and white cookie and pretzel. I’m so envious.

Nope, never been to NYC. It’s actually pathetic how little of my own country I’ve actually explored. Portland OR, NYC, and Boston are so high on my to-do list!
