Overall, this trip was a whirlwind. It started out stressful, was chill and peaceful in the middle, and then was stressful towards the end again lol.
THURSDAY
- Did not take into account 6AM traffic so we were late to airport
- Made it to our gate 5 minutes before boarding
- David put in the wrong hotel in the GPS, so we were walking to the wrong place
- Didn't look at my gift certificate and ordered way too much food at Kailash Parbat because we hadn't eaten since 6AM, and the menu was slightly confusing (the food was good, so not many regrets lol)
- Gift certificate didn't even work because we didn't order off of the regular menu :(
- Explored the New York Public Library and Bryant Park
- Checked into our hotel room (check-in was at 4PM even though we landed at 11AM)
- Took a (well deserved) nap
- Ate our leftovers and walked around Times Square
- Took some pics and watched a street performance where this guy jumped over a kid and then jumped over 5 adults and ended up hugging the last guy in line lol
FRIDAY
- The places we had gift certificates to weren't open until noon, so we got brunch at this Korean food court I found the last time I was in New York with my family
- Walked to Chelsea Market
- Tried goat milk ice cream with tahini toppings (so good!)
- Bought a book
- Walked The High Line and took lots of pics
- Walked to Keki Modern Cakes and bought one of their famous bouncy cheesecake (had to wait 10 minutes for one since they ran out; the place smelled so good!)
- Ate it back at the hotel and napped afterwards (amazingly delicious)
- Got soaked walking through the rain to the ramen shop we passed on the way back from Keki in Korea Town
- Spent the rest of the night reading my book because we were so wet from the rain and didn't want to explore anymore
SATURDAY
- Took the subway to Lavain Bakery for their famous cookies
- There was already a line outside, and we hadn't had breakfast yet, so we ate at the pizza place around the corner (it was so good!)
- Took the cookies to Central Park to eat and people watch
- Explored the park and took lots of pictures
- Took the subway to Chinatown for lunch
- Walked around and decided to eat at a place with tasty looking pictures at the front and because we overheard a group of millennials say that the place was great
- Stuffed ourselves with delicious authentic food (you know it's authentic when they play the authentic Chinese music lol)
- Walked around and got street food (those little waffle bubbles from childhood!)
- Got ice cream at The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, which is where Amanda took Shelle and me a few years ago (matcha oreo flavor is a great combination)
- Went back to the hotel to rest
- Walked to Abiko Curry for dinner (delicious but my curry noodles were so hot that I basically burned my tongue eating it lol)
SUNDAY
- Took an extra 20 minutes finding the right train and bus to the airport
- Arrived when we were supposed to start boarding our plane
- Made it 10 minutes before take off (I was so stressed the whole time lol)
- Went to get lunch at Pho Dai Loi after we landed
- GPS wasn't working for a bit when we left, so I got mad
- Finally arrived at home and rested until Shelle and Kyle came back home
- Chilled for the rest of the day since I didn't have work the next day since it was Veteran's Day
I hope you like this new format! I might use it in the future (if I remember lol).
