I *HEART* NYC

  • Posted on May 18, 2007 at 10:14 pm

My trip to NYC confirmed what I already knew–I love the city. Love it. As in the “if I wasn’t already married to Larry, I would want to marry NYC” kind of love it. But as I mentioned, I already knew that. And all the rumors were so untrue. Stinky? Nah, France is much stinkier, even in May. Dangerous? Heh, try Marseilles. Rude? Hell no, DC is much ruder. Expensive? Well, maybe, but not much more than where I live now, and HELLO, it’s Manhattan. It’s worth it.

Two days is not enough to see it all. I need to go back.

I did see Times Square, Greenwich Village, Central Park, Little Italy, the Meatpacking District (where we had a late dinner at the amazing Spice Market, a restaurant by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the man who invented the molten lava chocolate cake), Rockefeller Center, and the International Center for Photography. Here are a few highlights, in photos:

I’ve received a lot of feedback on my gummy bear photo series. People just love gummy bears.

Gummy Bear Army Looking Fierce

I guess I wasn’t the only one to think of it–today, Flickr featured a post about gummy bears on the Flickr Blog! But before you get all excited, I have to say that my gummy bear pictures were not included in the post. How could they have left me out? (Ok, ok, the other pictures are really great too.)
