In NYC this week with
for spring break! 
Just got here yesterday... took the red-eye flight out of SF and I got to see the sunrise on the plane, which was very lovely. 
This isn't my first time in NYC, but the last time I was here it was only for a day so I don't remember it much. We're staying at a cozy apartment in Grenwich Village (actually, a historical building which used to be where composer Charles Ives once lived, as a nice plaque in front of the building kindly informs us.) The only weird there is that there is a tiny cemetary right in front of our apartment... like you could look out the window and you'd be looking over tombstones. O_O! But on the bright side, there's a wonderful cafe two doors down. This is what I love about the city, having been a surburbia girl my whole life... this whole "oh, there are like 20 restaurants within walking distance right around the corner." New Yorkers must be the fittest people in America, because since I've been here I've walked about 4 miles on average per day. This is coming from someone who normally walks about 1000 steps per day. (I should know... I used a pedometer to measure. O_O) Anyway, the weather is still a bit chilly, but not terrible. No snow or anything, but scarfs are a must at night. Yesterday was a pretty packed day--after getting off the plane, went to our apartment and took a nice nap until the afternoon. Afterwards, we headed out to the Guggenheim museum, which was less cool because the exterior was undergoing renovation >O But the exhibits are nice. Then, we took a walk down Madison and Fifth, ate dinner around midtown, brought tickets to a broadway show for Wednesday, checked out the Toys R' Us at Times Square (soooo fun!) and had coffee at the aforementioned cafe two doors down. Today, met up with a friend from Colombia and visited the Museum of Modern Art. (Yes, I'm a sucker for musuems. The most exciting will be the Met, which I plan to devote the entire next Saturday to. ^__^) Had some superb Argentinian steak for dinner, and capped off the night at Magnolia's (anyone seen the SNL music video lazy Sunday? Magnolia's Bakery is mentioned there.) Mike was really bent on getting some of those cupcakes. They're quite good, I must say, but man the reviews weren't kidding when they said the frosting was sweet. It was the "tooth-hurting" type of sweet. >D
Okay, I'm off to catch the NYC nightlife now. >D Might be a bit slow responding to comments and notes such, but I'll get to them eventually! ^__^
to you all!
