Day 1: got into LGA. the traffic to Columbia was awful since there was a lot of construction work being done and the US open had just finished.
Day 2. Went to lunch with Alyssa and Chad. Went to Soho visited Thuy, and Alyssa's friends, walked around soho, noho, chinatown, little italy, and wall street. shopped. Saw battery park. Had thai food.
Day 3. Went to times square. Hershey store, M&M store, Virgin Records, Toys R Us,shopped. Chrysler building, grand central station, rockerfeller center.St patricks cathedral. union station.
Day 4. Nyu. Thai food. Village. Magnolias. Marc jacobs. The Met (the only civilized place in all of NYC with toilet seat covers). Didn't even go to the top floor bc there was so much on the 1st and 2nd floors. lame housewarming party, upside was the alcohol. Pinkberry,ciggies and ppl watching.
Day 5. Crystal, Brendan and Galina come to Columbia. Ethiopian food. Horrible rain and weather. we did go to a Hungarian Cafe which was cute though.
Day 6. Breakfast at lylas cafe then desserts from kitchenette. The cloisters, fort tyron park. Walked around greenwich, and chelsea. Saw flatiron building. went to Bryant park and saw Thuy's show then went to the after party. Amazing how I got drunk more in New York the one week I was there than the whole month I've been here.
Day 7. Guggenheim. Central park. Neue galerie. Dylan's Candy Bar. Dinner with Alyssa, Galina, Lauren, and Anna. went to Chinatown and soho. Filenes basement. Borders and had ice cream with Galina at Union Square.
Whats up with New York and the lack of toilet seat covers? Also, a lot of places smelled bad. I think I lost weight that week because I walked around so much, sightseeing and visiting everything. The only thing I'm kicking myself for is not going to see Mamma Mia!
