New York City Weekend

Over President's Day Weekend, I took a long weekend trip to New York City. It was my first time in NYC, and I have to say: I'm a fan.

Do I like it more than Chicago? Nononono. Chicago is still my city :)

But I did happen to buy a new camera just a few weeks before my trip. A mirrorless Sony A6000.

Here are a few of my shots:

 Flatiron Building

Empire State Building

9/11 Memorial

One World Trade Center

The City at Dusk

Overall I had a really great time visiting with my friend from law school. She took me to some of her favorite places and made sure I got some of the tourist experience. We only explored Manhattan as I was only there for a couple days and that's where my friend lives. The most unique experience was Times Square. We only walked through it but I've never experienced anything quite like it in any of my other trips. A lot of our time was spent experiencing my friend's favorite restaurants and bars and I thoroughly enjoyed that. I'll definitely be back!

A couple recommendations that were favorites of mine:

•      Edwards in Tribeca for breakfast, lunch or dinner
•      Arturo's in NoHo (maybe 3 blocks south of Washington Square Park) for pizza and a chill evening atmosphere
