Travel | Heading to the Big Apple

2013.05.25 - 2013.05.28 New York, New York, United States

Day 3: 9/11 Memorial → Wall St. → Lunch at Kat’s Delicatessen → Off-Broadway Show, The Fantasticks → Rockefeller Center

 

Most Worthy Dollars Spent: Intercontinental Ambassador Membership, which I purchased for our Tahiti Honeymoon. It gave us additional buy-one-weekend-get-one-weekend-free coupon so we got to live in the midtown three nights for two nights’ rate! Plus the late check-out at 4:00PM.

Day 4: Metropolitan Museum of Art → Central Park → Lunch at Gary’s Papaya → Grand Central Terminal → The New York Public Library → Top of the Rock → Dinner at The Halal Guys

Most Amazing: Finding Love Taza in Central Park!! It’s like winning-the-Lotto chance to find someone you follow in the Internet IN PERSON, in the heavy traffic New York City, in the crowded Central Park, and all these happened when the first time I traveled to the East Coast!! Amazing!

Biggest Smile: me and my high school buddy Annette, who is now studying in NYU Law School.

Best View: Top of the Rock. We purposely purchased the late afternoon admission so we could get both views at day and night. Astonishing!

Most Applause Received: Jason, who successfully won the lady’s heart and had her wear the big rock on the Top of the Rock.

Most Yelp-Trustworthy Food: The Halal Guys. After the disappointment from Junior’s, Kat’s Deli, and Gary’s Papaya, The Halal Guys finally proved the reliability of Yelp’s 4.5 stars.

Day 5: FAO Schwartz → Lego Store at Rockefeller Center → Uniqlo 5th Ave. New York → NBA Store → Lunch at Shake Shack → Home sweet home

Most Childlike: Charles, holding his new purchase LEGO® Kingdoms Chess Set so tight, looking all happy...

Most Enjoyable Shopping: Uniqlo 5th Ave.. Not only they did not jack up the price on 5th Ave but also offered this photo booth free of charge!
