Sad news, we worked hard all week for a rainy day off! We still made the best of it though! My roommate Morgan and I decided to keep the work mode rolling with a trip to the New York Public library to work on some homework. I'm pretty sure that this library has more staircases than books, but it was still nifty! And we were able to find a spot in the same hall from the Day After Tomorrow movie ( if anyone knows that reference, it's the library hall Jake Gyllenhaal seeks safety in when global warming takes over) We then proceeded to make our way to times square to see if there we're any good discounted Broadway tickets for the night but got distracted by the famous crumbs cupcakes, and it started to down pour. Which brings me to my first piece of advice for anyone headed to the NYC area, NYC in the rain is very dangerous for the sole reason that apparently people are not aware that their umbrellas expand past their body and still continue to walk the same distance away from other patrons as they would sans umbrella. So if your tall like me, a short persons umbrella is right at eye level. Did I mention we live right next to koreatown? A.K.A. very dangerous for tall people in the area on a rainy day. Anyways, of course we couldn't resist the cupcakes so after a long deliberation a cookies and cream and peanut butter treat were ours. We then went home to have a photo-shoot with our $4.00 cupcakes because whats a good cupcake if the rest of the social media world is not envious of us? And then spent the rest of the gloomy evening hanging out inside the castle, making birthday plans (which is in less than 5 days!) and watching a movie. All in all it was a successful day here.
The cupcakes look yummy,,looks like you enjoyed them...do they have a Cheesecake Factory there???
ReplyDeleteThey do not have a chhesecake factory :( we already looked because my roomate has a giftcard that we will unfortunately not get to use!
DeleteYou are too comical! Library looks way cool even if there is not a lot of books. We ARE envious that you are having cupcakes in New York and I see you are not taking Mike's advice too seriously!
ReplyDeleteYou are living your dream. I'm going to enjoy reading about it as you experience this awesome opportunity to be in NYC for the summer.
ReplyDeleteSorry it rained on your day off. But it looks as if you made the best of it. How couldn't you...your in NYC.
When I seen the picture of the NYC public library I think about Carrie being left on the stairs alone by Mr Big on their wedding day.Showing my age? Because I don't know the movie you mentioned.
Have fun!!! Looking forward to your next post.
Love, Aunt Diane
