NYC: day 2


day two! :D
places we went to:
  • we used the subwaaay!
  • Ground Zero - the whole area has been blocked off for construction of the new 9/11 museum, so we didn’t really get to see much
  • 9/11 memorial preview - showed some of the exhibits and artifacts to be placed in the new memorial site
  • St. Paul’s Church - where george washington got inaugurated. it’s across the street from the WTC. there’s a lot of 9/11 information in the church. the graveyard in the front is ancient. was a bit scary and intimidating >___<
  • Wall St. - saw the New York Stock Exchange and passed by the Museum of American Finance. NY Stock Exchange is closed to the public. I WAS SO SAD! And I was disappointed that the area was super :[
  • Goodburger - it was okay. Good, but not the best. OMG, customer service was terrible here! I felt stupid trying to order :[
  • China Town - reminiscent of the one in SF. I felt like I was in Vietnam (Asia)/SF
  • cheap snack place in China Town. $1 for chicken skewers and fried fish balls :]
  • Prince St. Cafe - to use the wifi and grab coffee. IT WAS SO COLD OUTSIDE. yuum, Americano
  • Little Italy
  • Lombardi’s Pizza - wasn’t overly impressed. yelp got me really excited. high expectations, I suppose. it was good. the crust was amazing. the basil tasted great. but yeah.. again, they weren’t so nice. it’s a bit overhyped. hated how the toppings costed extra! :[ $20 with tip on a pizza with NO MEAT OMG :[ I like my protein.. :[
  • THE MEATBALL SHOP - BEST PLACE WE WENT TO!!! service was awesome! ambience was suuuper nice! and tasty eats! sad part: we got some meatballs to go, and the oil spilled into our bag :[
  • Museum of Sex - intriguing and educational. a lot of bad reviews on yelp. I was pleasantly surprised. it was informative and entertaining. the animal exhibit was awesome!!! along with the photograph of the necrophiliac duck xD wtf?!
  • MACYS! - to check out the displays and briefly browse around
  • 53rd and 6th St food cart for some TO GO~
  • various gift shops
  • back to Time Square~ <3
  • Yoshinoya for take out beef bowl
