Tired, yes. Disheartened? Never. We are enjoying every monument and building. I love even the homeless croaking crazies on the street. I really love this city. The symphony of colours, the vibes, sounds. It's such a beautiful song to me. I could listen to it all day, every day.
Yesterday, my sister and I did go to Greenwich Village, also called "the Village". We walked along Bleecker St and made a quick stop at Magnolia bakery to get a cupcake. Finger licking good although a tad bit too sugary.
After engulfing my Red Velvet cupcake (mmm!), we went to Perry Street to go sit on the Carrie Bradshaw's apartment stoops. Oh man, I was so thrilled since I am a HUGE Sex and the City fan. We posed, stood, sat and left.
Wandered down Bleecker some more, window shopped Prada, Burberry and Pucci. It was a lovely afternoon.
I did mention our pizza hunt. We had our first trial at Bleecker Street Pizza (Bleecker and 7th). It was tasty with the perfect amount of crust. I had cheese and my sister had the 'white' pizza. We are definitely making it a point to go back.
Up Thompson street we went and rested at Washington Square Park.
The whole day was lovely and it ended up at a tour of New York Public Library and dinner at Shake Shack!
Tip:
- If you want the best burger you've ever tasted, go to Shake Shack. It gets incredibly busy (20-40 minute wait sometimes) at lunch time and around 6-7. Go around 5-5:30 and the line ups are not that long. I am definitely going back again before I leave. Nom nom nom.
- It's crucial you visit the Village when you're in NYC. The streets, the brownstone apartments are lovely. Hit up Bleecker for some credit card damage, really great shops.
New York looks so beautiful on a Sunny day.
