Sunday bloggin twime. Finally, finally working up that seniority and was scheduled a Sunday off. HOLY MOLY! So to celebrate a blog for you all (as in all three readers). Over a month later and I am still on a New York City high. There is just something about the energy, and everything is completely true in Jay-Z's song, Empire State of Mind... "New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York, these streets will make you feel brand new, these lights will inspire you..." You feel like everything is at your finger tips. You feel motivated to get out there and see everything the city has to offer. It really is one of my favorite places in the world. Here's why...

yellow cab, gypsy cabs. the energy. subways. central park. the upper east side. street art, street carts. architecture. bright lights. BROADWAY. fooooooood. museum mile. brooklyn. shopping. high fashion. new fashion. brick roads. the high line. hip-hop. hustle bustle.

Day 1. SEA--->JFK, Midtown explorin
Highlights:

• Took a red eye, got in JFK at 6 a.m.
• Breakfast while I took photos of Tiffany & Co. 
• Stood in line at Al Hirschfeld Theatre to get tickets to How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. 
• Bought my Metrocard.
• Met up with Wendy and her friend Shaun, and his friend Dave. 
• Visited Bryant Park for the first time. A little paradise in the middle of midtown.
• Went to the New York Public Library, saw the reading room, that photo is of me and Wendy on the staircase that Carrie stood on in Sex and the City the movie.
• Oh, ran into Nick effing Jonas. Shit just got real. Best day of my life.
• Burgers and fries at the Shake Shack. Two thumbs up, but overly crowded.
• Saw How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Impressed with Nick Jonas, pretty entertaining but not as epic as Rent.
• Bar hopping in the Lower East Side.
• Pau, it was a hella long day.

Next up... Day 2. Brooklyn Bridge mission.
