The first stop on my epic vacation...NYC! What an amazing city! Everyone there is BEAUTIFUL! I think its a requirement to live there, made me feel a bit out of place in my over casual Seattle style, but it's what's inside that counts, right. I stayed with Adam and his roommate Karen(thanks guys!) in the lower east side of Manhattan, went to a million galleries, ate some of the best food I've ever had, drank more then I should have, and did a little shopping in Soho. I found the city to be extremely friendly, a stark contrast to Seattle where being a passive aggressive a-hole is an art. Some highlights...
1. Riding bikes across the Williamsberg bridge to eat delicious falafel and see rad art.
2. Thompson Square Park farmers market.
3. Swoon show on the river
4. Wandering the Brooklyn Bridge then eating the best food ever at Lil Lads.
5. Dance Party
6. Coffee, bagels and wandering the LES neighborhood checking out all the gardens.
7. Guggenheim and the 20 minute Met tour
8. Hanging out with Adam & eating Babycakes
9. Really, everything was a highlight, I had so much fun and loved every minute.
The worst parts...
1. Leaving.
NYC Metro- fairly clean, extremely efficient
