New York October 2010

finally get to go New York. This time, its with Thams and meeting barney there.
looking back, its a amazing how i survive with so little sleep. upon touching down, i immediately met up with them to go out. I guess this trip i didnt expect that i am going to cover so much of new york that i can probably finish everything else by the time i come 2 weeks later on my own flight. Chelsea Market in the west village is the first stop, we had some lunch there and barney brought us to a new attraction, the skywalk which cuts through the entire city. it used to be a old railway system which malfunctioned. from the west village, we walked all the way up to Times Square, covering more than half the length of Manhattan along the way. Times Square is bustling with life as usual, neon lights and people always makes the city so lively. Caught glimpse of Chrysler Building and Empire State building. before walking back to hotel, only to collect our stuff before we head over to Barney's house to play Fifa11. its only till 1plus in the morning before they call it a night and we headed for supper before we go back to hotel. Next day morning, I was supposed to meet Ilynn for breakfast, she asked 2 other girls along to my disappointment. Well, at least i get to see her, its only natural to do since one of them is her friend, but after breakfast, i headed back before meeting thams and barney again in Soho area for some light shopping before barney brought us to little italy, chinatown and east village. Lunch was at Lombardi's Pizza where we ordered something out of the menu, more toppings than they were offering and it was phew... yummy. each slice of pizza is so heavy that all the toppings simply slided off when we try to hold it.

Thams gotta go back to rest for flight after lunch, me and barney we trooped through chinatown and decided that we should walk across Brooklyn bridge and go over to Brooklyn to admire Manhattan from there. it was a tedious walk to say the least. weather was good thou, it was will worth it. its windy yet not too cold. nice weather for taking strolls with cameras. we really took our time until Waiyu finished her work and we met her at Japan town for dinner at yakitori. that was pretty much it as we were all dead beat from the walking. I was to meet barney for breakfast at shake shack. the burger is heavenly.. the little flea market in the middle of town was pretty interesting as well with the Flatiron in the background. Central Park where so many sitcoms were set was next on the list, its amazing to see sucha gigantic park in a city setting, totally random yet it gave a twist to the whole surrounding. tt pretty much summed up the entire tiring NYC tour. the only place left to be covered is probably the Wall Street area and Ground Zero which we are going when I come next.
