I just spent a week in NYC and now I completely understand why people love it. I’m still on a post vacay high from my trip and already planning my second one. I fell in love. I could totally live there (if I could afford it!). First, it’s a beautiful and clean city, incredibly clean. Second, the people are friendly and don’t seem to mind tourists (refreshing), we never felt like anyone was annoyed by us including the tour guides who were all cheerful and chatty. Shout out to the aspiring actor working The Top of the Rock who kept us all entertained during the wait. Third, the energy is invigorating and so different from laid-back NOLA. Everything and everyone clicked right along. Everything worked. Everyone was at the top of their game. It.Was.The.Best.  I cannot say enough good things about my experience there. And I felt completely safe walking around at night.
I’ll be posting more pics of my trip in the coming days but, don’t worry, not all 169 of them. 😜

This photo is the first one I took in the city. It’s a bit dark because it was a cloudy, grey day but it’s one view from our hotel room on Park Ave which was amazing. The church is St. Bartholomew’s and I’m sorry I didn’t make it inside. Next time!

More later!
