NYC day 2

Aaron woke up hung over from the nite before, the exact reason I didn’t want to join him. So while he slept, I headed over to the Statue of Liberty and then wandered up Broadway Street, past Wall Street, strolled passed the massive hole in the ground where the twin towers once stood and then took a ridiculous taxi ride to a restaurant Bread to meet up with Aaron and an old high school friend, Ryan, for lunch. I arrived 20 minutes late thanks to NYC traffic. However, I was still there before Ryan and his wife. It was super good to see them again. It’s strange how you don’t see someone for 10 years and our lives have changed so much but are still the same person you remember. Fun times.

After lunch we parted our ways and aaron and I headed in the direction of the Natural History Museum, we headed in the direction alright, and then went right past it. By the time it would have taken to backtrack our path, we would only have had an hour at the museum. So, we decided to get off where we were and stroll through central park. I called this our Cloverfield Tour. We passed the subway stop, saw the apartment buildings, hid under the bridge and saw the open green where that dude got eaten. Oh by the way Central Park is HUGE! If you decide to walk across it, wear good shoes and get lots of hot dogs on the way.

At the end of Central Park lays the mother of all nerd stores, the brand new NYC Apple store. We spent a little while in there drooling over all the latest overpriced gadgets. I wanted to shove my pockets with iphones, shuffles, imacs, macbooks, and anything else i could get my hands on. I didn’t (not yet!). Then on to dinner! We dined on NY’s finest street food of hot dogs, cookies, and pizza. The pizza was probably the best i’ve ever had! Yes, even better than American Dream Pizza. Then on home, where after the long day of walking I fell asleep watching No Country for Old Men.
