by 'this' city.. i mean new york city. its a perfect city and i can't wait to go back. i took tons of pictures, which will do most of the talking, but i still want to mention many of the highlights of the trip. so friday we got to jfk airport around 11:30 am.. the flight was only about 50 minutes and the time flew by since i got to watch an episode of criminal minds!
arrival at jfk!
we got to our hotel around quarter to 1 dropped our bags at the hotel and started walking around the city. oh get this, our hotel was on 44th between 8th ave and 9th ave. times square is on 7th ave, running from about 42nd st to 49th st. incredibly close! anyways it was a bit frustrating at first because we didn't really know where anything was and adding to that it was pouring rain! we initially planned seeing the statue of liberty that day - that definitely was not going to happen with all the rain. we decided instead to go to the guggenheim museum and the met. both are art museums which i actually love!
i much preferred the guggenheim museum, its more abstract art, less portraits. it was a pretty interesting looking museum. the metropolitan museum was huge! you could have spent an entire day in there and you probably wouldn't have gotten through the entire museum. but there was some interesting art in there..
front of MET - staircase from gossip girl? its kinda looks like
after the two museums we walked around the city, went to planet hollywood for dinner (my aunt really wanted to go) and then we walked through times square.
times square looks much better at night than during the day i've realized
city that never sleeps..
it was an insanely busy day and even with the rain i enjoyed it. i definitely wouldn't recommend planet hollywood for dinner but with the new york pass each person saved $10 off their meal. saving money is always a good thing.
