Finally back from NYC and settling back into living at home. In desperate need to do a massive clean out from all the hoarding I’ve done over the years. Now with my two rooms at Waterloo and at home combined, it’s hardly what you can call a healthy living space. Need to prepare myself for what will begin next week marking the beginning of a new chapter in my life; entering the workforce. Pretty excited about the upcoming opportunities that will come from this, and especially in doing what I love! The real test will be how I feel after the 4 month mark, when I realize I won’t be returning back to school and that this is the real deal. Crossing my fingers for the best!
As promised, I wanted to continue my highlights and recommendations from the rest of my oh so awesome NYC trip with some places that you really shouldn’t miss out on. Hopefully it’ll give a good ideas on places to visit when it comes time for you to visit the city that never sleeps.
PS. This is a picture heavy post. Please wait for them all to load!
Visit WhiteCastle. At least once, just for the experience of finally understanding what Harold and Kumar were craving for.
Walk along the Brooklyn Bridge. Watch out for crazy wind. Not recommended for the faint of heart.
Check out St. Mark’s Place. Kind of like NYC’s version of Toronto’s Kensington Market, lined with restaurants and boutiques.
Grab frozen yogourt at PinkBerry. $4 or $5 will get you 2 different types of flavours with unlimited toppings that can “fit comfortably” in the cup.
Must have Lombardi’s pizza. Famously known as America’s first pizzeria since 1905. Expect long waits.
Take a stroll through Central Park. This is its reservoir with a running track around it.
Grab a burger at the secret and hidden away Burger Joint. Can be found in lobby of Le Meridien hotel. Expect long lines as well at any time of the day.
Catch an elevator ride up to the Rockefeller Center. Breathtaking view of NYC on a gorgeous day.
A meal awesome for vegetarians and non-veggies alike. Seen here: Junior Maoz Falafels, Belgian fries w/ Sweet Potato Fries & Arnold Palmer iced tea
Ride the free ferry to Staten Island Ferry to see an awesome view of Manhattan’s skyline and Statue of Liberty.
“The Sphere”. This once stood in World Trade Center plaza and was damaged during 9/11 but was used as a temporary memorial site, representing the symbol of hope and indestructible spirit of the nation. Sent chills down my spine. So tragic.
The most delicious cupcakes ever at Magnolia Bakery. Yums!
Watch a Yankee’s game. Even if you’re not into baseball; just to experience the incredible fan spirit and sheer size of the stadium. Full house!
New York Public Library. Most beautiful architecture. Plus, SATC’s wedding was flimed there 
Those were just a few of the highlights of the trip. Would love to hear any suggestions for restaurants/things to do while in NYC!
