NYC 3-day weekend



Number 10: Go to New York 

I had my first three day weekend here on the East Coast and figured-- NYC? Why not! Below are some captured moments from my adventurous weekend...

First Stop: 11pm,  Neighborhood pub, Long Island, NY
I arrived in the evening with my friend Hetal. She is from Queens and invited me to stay with her. So we go to a local pub in her neighborhood and she takes the following snap shot...

Not the best photo, I admit. But I wonder, how many people in the world actually have a Long Island Iced Tea in Long Island, NY? I had to capture this moment. It was delicious! Freshly squeezed lemons with pulp and everything.



Next Stop: 11am, Times Square
I'd forgotten how intense the BIG APPLE could be... there was a lot going on: Flat screens everywhere I looked playing movies and advertisements. There were street sellers, food, shopping, tourists, tour busses...etc. I even witnessed the Good Morning America taping!



Third Stop: 2pm (more my style and pace) Central Park
I grabbed a burger and strawberry milkshake at The Shake Shack. There was line half way around the block for this place! My mushroom burger stuffed with gruyere cheese was mouthwatering~I can still taste it now. We grabbed our food to go and found a great view of the city to enjoy every bite of our lunch.



Final Stop: 12am, Lounge 16
I ended the weekend partying until 6am at a rooftop lounge near Times Square. The night was goregous, full of stars and great evening weather. I danced the night away with some more new friends.


Thanks NYC. Great mini vacation!
