So I’ve been in the States for around 3 days now. Arriving in JFK airport I spent around a hour trying to find an Internet Cafe to print out my bus pass so I could leave the terminal. I didn’t really feel like I was in NYC until our bus hit the Van Wyck. Seeing that sign made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. As we crested a hill the Manhattan Skyline appeared and I went all gooey.
In the short amount of time I have been here so far I’ve seen heaps of Manhattan, I’ve caught the Statten Island Ferry, visited cool bars, watched Hip Hop Open Mike till 4am, had an awesome burger in downtown, seen the WTC site, been to the Chrysler, Empire State and Rockerfeller buildings, jumped in Grand Central Station and wandered the Natural History Museum. Best of all though is seeing Tom’s Restaraunt, the diner from Seinfeld. Major life goal completed with one short subway ride.
I’ll be heading into Central Park today for a bit of a walk. I still have so much to see but I know one thing for sure. New York is my kind of place.
Tom’s Restaurant = next door to where I worked one summer
Staten Island Ferry = Staten Island is like 2 minutes from where I grew up
and you said “heaps.” I miss heaps heaps!
Glad you’re having fun! Now hurry up and get to San Francisco! Well…wait long enough for me to get there too!
And don’t forget to go to Times Square!
And the Village!
And Dylan’s Candy Bar!
And Serendipity III!
And Pinkberry!
Ok that’s all
Talk to you soon!
