Sugar Rush

                                                                                                   

Yesterday was quite an eventful day for our little NYC exploration group. The morning started off at the largely hyped H & H Bagels. I tried the Onion and besides the breath issues after (ew) it was delish. Off to the Met, along with the rest of NYC (it was raining, museums get appealing when the outside isn't an option) to see the Model and the Muse exhibit put on by Marc Jacobs and friends. Super inspirational and fabulously designed, it was definitely worth the $10 dollar "suggested donation."

Dylan's Candy Bar was next for a little over indulgence in all things sugar. Daughter to Ralph Lauren, the owner truly created THE candy experience. Though I will say I was disappointed they didn't have Big Kat's. Work on that Dylan. I still squealed like the 11 year olds when I saw the wall of chocolate, I guess some things never change. 

Spice for a Thai dinner, and let me say, after some large dinner let downs, Spice really revived my belief in NYC cuisine. The food was cheap, the drinks were cheap, and it all was delicious. I tried the Siamese fried rice, and with a portion big enough to feed an entire family, I was happy and full when the meal was over. It also didn't hurt that the playlist for the bar included Neyo, Justin Timberlake, and old school Britney. Give me 90's tunes and I'm a happy girl. 

miss and love.

Adjusting...

So today we (me, and my roommates carrie and afton) moved hannah into her dorm at FIT. Super exciting. Last night we went to dinner at this fab little bar called Pourhouse something or other and had overpriced American cuisine, drank Mich Ultras, and over all felt fabulous while looking like total tourists. Oh well.

Sidenote: the toilet has been fixed, the problem --> our previous tenant whom I am now referring to as the terror tenant threw a pair of enormous disk earrings down the toilet, thus breaking it. Thanks.

Also my sister saw a man relieving himself on a poor New Yorker's stoop today. I guess when ya gotta go ya gotta go. Ew.

Hopefully tonight we will meet up with the rest of the NYC group and finally do the downtown thing, although my funds are going a lot more quickly than expected. I guess you only live once though...

What New York has taken from me so far: 

7 blister band-aids

a little dignity (getting lost and pulling a map out at EVERY stop light)

the arches of my feet

time (its going too quickly)

What I have gotten so far:

10 million ideas for outfits

a sense of independence

an overwhelming appreciation for beverage prices in Columbia, Missouri

a handy metro card that gets me anywhere (sometimes the wrong place but none the less someplace)

in conclusion we are heading to the upper east side today, to explore and such. Carrie would not be proud of my choice of footwear (Sperry's) but after three days of flats it's a must. Signing off for now.
