More NYC for my Cali girls!!!
Update #2 (I feel if I don't update regularly, I'll forget all the cool things that happened. Haha.)
MONDAY!!!
I got myself ready and then walked up to 79th and Broadway (7 North, 1 block East). I got on the M79 (Bus) only to find that they do not accept dollar bills. So...being the Cali-girl I am...I went around the busy bus asking anyone if they had quarters in exchange for my dollars. Really embarassing. Finally some really nice woman swiped her metro-card in exchange for my dollars. I carefully explained that in California, we not only drive everywhere, but that our buses take dollar bills. We do it right in Cali. Haha.
Okay so then I got off the bus at 5th Avenue only to realise that what my aunt had done is send me to Museum Mile (A mile of museums on 5th Avenue.) I almost cried. But then, due to my incredible ingeneous, I walked one block North to Madison and found the CUTEST SHOPS EVER!!! You guysssss...I wish you were here!!! The shops were fantastic! I went to get coffee at this cute little coffee place which also has stores in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. (Good for next year!) There was that bookstore from the movie "You've Got Mail" so I bought a book which was fabulous! (Alex...I'm making you borrow it...soo good!) There was also this store called "Infinity" (Haha...Nay...it was spelled right :\) where they had nothing but designers like Juicy, Le Tigre, & Miss Sixty. When I was there I got two Le Tigre shirts...Black and white...Very exciting! I also got Nay a present!!! (Now she has like 4..lol) Then I realised I had walked 10 blocks East and that maybe I should turn around. So I walked back to the Met and sat on the staircase and read my book. It was about 70 degrees outside and the sun was warming me as I sat on the stairs and it was just soooo nice. Then my aunt and I went to the Guggenheim where they have the weirdest exhibit. (There's no artwork in the entire museum cuz the exhibit is all about isolating Wright's architecture.) Then we went to the Jewish Museum and took a tour of Jewish women saloneers. It was great...I mean...I knew about Gertrude Stein, but shit, there were so many more. Mr. Detore will be happy that I did something of historical interest. Lol. Then my aunt and I caught a crosstown bus and then walked all the way through upper west end. I saw the Beacon Theatre which was hosting VH1 Save the Music. Wow...red carpet and everything...people were sooo dressed up and there was so much security. Pretty cool! Then we went to Fairways (NY's version of a supermarket) and got dinner. Then we came home and I read and then we all had a family dinner. It was nice...
TODAY!!!
I'm walking South to 67th and East to Broadway to go to Vickie's!!! Tres excited!! Gotta get something especial, Nay nay! Hehe. Then I'm meeting my aunt at the Met at 2 so she can give me a tour of her museum and then tonight at 7PM we're seeing The Glass Menagerie cuz I just read it in Ferguson's class. I wanted to see my friend, Claire, from Stanford, but she doesn't return phone calls.
Well...loves...I need to go to Vickie's for really this time so I'm out!! Call my cell if you ever wanna talk! ♥
