My friends and I took a roadtrip from Washington DC to New York today. We woke up early and got on the road by 8am.
On the way down, we stopped by the famous Geno’s for some Philly steak sandwiches. They were yummy! We also spent an hour taking a look at the Liberty Bell in West Philly.
We made it into New York city by the late afternoon. After resting for a bit, we ventured out into the city. The Grand Central station has been one of my favorite places to visit over and over again.
We took the trains to Macy’s, the biggest store in the world! We had some delicious New York pizza for dinner first. Then did a little shopping. Did you know that you can get 11% off your purchase if you’re a visitor? Visit Macy’s visitor center to find out! I used my visitor discount to buy a jacket — it’s way colder out here than it was in Washington DC.
I wanted to visit my college friend Julie in Brooklyn tonight. I had another college friend in town, so we met up to visit her. After much confusion with the train letters, we ended up in Brooklyn at midnight.
It was just good times when we finally met up. We just chatted for hours at a little place called Moe’s. The night ended well and it was time for us to venture back to the hotel. I do suggest taking the trains much earlier in the day. There was hardly anyone in the subways. But we made it back safely to our hotel by 2:30am. Now it’s time to sleep and get ready for another day’s adventure into the city!

Had dinner at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse tonight. It was yummmmmy! Steak was so tender that it was like eating sushi. :)

We took a ferry that went around Liberty Island.. and saw the lady herself!

And here’s me, not wanting to leave the ferry. haha

Today was just the PERFECT day to walk in the park! It’s been so cold and drizzly the past few days…. that this was just a blessing. It was nice, sunny, and warm… We arrived at the park around the afternoon, and had a wonderful day… taking photos and just enjoying the nature around us.

It was getting really cold, so we walked through Grand Central Station. It’s much warmer inside. ;) Isn’t it lovely at night? This was one of my favorite places in New York.
