A couple days ago I got back from a 5 day trip to New York with a group of friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. While it was my 4th visit to the Big Apple, it was my first time there without parents and completely organized by us. By the second day we had already started calling the hotel “home” in casual conversation. Needless to say it was a wonderful trip!
I forget the name of this place, but the stone baked pizza was delicious! We came here after a long morning of in the cold during a free Walking Tour of Williamsburg.

I never knew that people are able to walk on top of the Brooklyn Bridge! With the snow falling everywhere, and seeing the city lit up, this place was surreal.
Went to the Plaza Hotel where I was hoping to visit the Eloise at the Plaza gift shop but couldn't find it and ran out of time. Afterwards, we went to FAO Schwarz and explored it thoroughly. At one point we acted out a little skit using the muppets in the Whatnot Workshop cause we’re five years old. Then we went to Dylan’s Candy Bar not only because it was close by, but also to get a souvenir for my friend who is actually named Dylan.
Visited the Museum of Natural History where we rested underneath the giant whale (where they sometimes have sleepovers for kids), checked out a free show at the Hayden Planetarium, and then out of nowhere I met the magical ALBinWonderland! :D Could not believe my luck! I was super nervous, but she and her friend were super nice!
We wanted to eat at Mac Bar (which is shaped like a piece of macaroni) but
it was too small and completely busy. Instead we found this gem! SoHo
Park, a darling restaurant that has park benches to sit on, real trees stung with lights, and vines
growing on the walls!
I never knew that the ceiling in Grand Central Station was painted with constellation of the zodiac! It was literally a jaw dropping experience; I think I stood for about a minute with my mouth gaping open at the gorgeousness of it all. We also checked out the Whispering Wall which totally blew my mind!
After being completely confused and amazed by the interactive/immersive play Sleep No More (a 1930’s style re-interpretation of Macbeth), one of my friends and I decided to see a Broadway show as well. This was the view from out seats at Chicago which was very enjoyable!
