I heart NYC!

New York City, well specifically Manhattan is one of my new favorite cities! Matt had a law conference last weekend, so I tagged along and got to experience NYC for the 1st time. I have to say, it's really cool. We drove up on Thursday. It's really not that bad of a drive. It took ~6-7 hours but we stopped along the way. We got into the city around noon on Friday when Matt went off to the conference. So after a couple of hours of relaxing, I went out on the town. I hit up the Grand Central Terminal, St. Patrick's Cathedral, St. Batholomew's Church, and the Rockefeller Center. Matt came home and we headed up to the Upper West Side to find a restaurant. Saturday, Matt headed out to the conference early so I got to relax in the hotel. From there, I discovered NYC shut down a few main roads called "Summer Streets." They closed down Park Avenue so I walked down the street amongst all the runners, walkers, bikers, tourists... all the way to Central Park. I really couldn't have asked for a nicer day. It was so beautiful. Then I enjoyed Central Park, found a street fair and ate a chocolate strawberry crepe... yum! Then I headed to Times Square where I discovered all the tourists! That place is crazy! Then I walked down another street, found Bryant Park and ate at a Cafe. Then headed back to the hotel to rest. This pregnant lady had walked enough in 2 days. I definitely got my exercise! Matt joined me later and we headed to a social event for his conference. So, I had quite a busy weekend. Too bad Matt wasn't able to join me. While I love NYC, my vote still goes to San Francisco. I really love love love that city!
