A day spent in NYC
Mar. 19th, 2006 07:53 amTo anyone who has never been to New York City... you must!
To those who live there... I am so effing jealous!!
So what happened on the glorious day of my visit to NYC?
( Getting there )
( The Guggenheim )
By the time we finished at the Guggenheim it was already 14:00 PM and both of us were famished, I mean starving, I couldn't even think of what kind of food I wanted to eat.
We walked down towards Lexington Avenue, walked down the parallel street if I remember correctly and had an excellent lunch at a small Indian restaurant, the cups were made of copper and the waiter kept on refilling our water whenever it went under the rim, it was nice in a classicist sort of way? *shrug*
Since it was lunch time we had a 50% discount, which was a pleasant surprise (according to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
orcabee, lunch is from about noon to 16:00 PM, I think).
We caught the bus to ( Lincoln Centre )
We then caught the ( Subway ) to Times Square.
It's one of those places I can honestly say been there, I don't need to go back. The gaudiness, the lights, oh my God it reminded me of the Gotham City in Batman and Robin... yes, it was that awful, although yesterday I was quite caught up in the atmosphere, but getting a scare from the sheer amount of people and being separated for a second from Lisa, we decided that Times Square had been seen and was now officially checked off my check list of Things To See in New York.
We then walked to ( Rockefeller Centre )
We then walked to a cafe to sit and we became aware that we were tired... more than tired... exhausted. We had some coffee and cake and took the subway back to Chinatown where the 20:00 PM bus was standing by to return to Philly.
I fell asleep on the bus and arrived at the Train Station just before the last train to Mt. Airy arrived.
Good day.
Great day.
NYC rocks!
Philly is boring...

Completely slipped my mind.
Mar. 19th, 2006 11:21 amIt slipped my mind, it must have traumatized me, lol.
orcabee took me to Starbucks after lunch! In America for a month and I went into a Starbucks in New York. The Horror!!!!
Just kidding, it actually wasn't that bad... just tasteless.
I drink all my coffee (except בוץ) without sugar and it just seemed to have no taste whatsoever.
I had a latte, next time I am out of options and must enter a Starbucks I'll get a different taste, maybe it'll taste better.
Again, not that bad, but really... not that good.
Israeli coffee is way better.
