New York - Day One

Phwoah. What a day this was. After flying into NYC from Vancouver, we had technically lost 3 hours to the void due to timezone changes. I’d also discovered that I can’t sleep on planes very well. Hello zombie Charlie. We arrived at 6am, met up with Ellie & Steph (yay!) and went sightseeing. We had a lot of ground to cover this day, as we only had 3 days in NYC. We grabbed some food at a farmers market store as we were STARVING, and we all get pretty hangry. I got a bagel (which holy moly was that shit gooooood) and a coffee (which was ...ok, but little did I know that it was going to be the best coffee I had in America). 

First stop was the High Line; an old above-road train track that had been converted into gardens. It was pretty neat, however I was too busy playing with my camera and ran into a bench with both of my shins. I hit it so hard it cut through my jeans. Steph had to sit me down as I nearly passed out from the pain, haha. 

Next stop was the Twin Towers Memorial. The Subway in NYC is actually super handy - when it works. The train station near the memorial site is BEAUTIFUL. It’s called the Oculus, and it’s huge and white and just stunning. You can see it in the photos above. The memorial themselves were pretty amazing too. Very, very big, and it was so hard to imagine what had happened that day. 

Our third and final stop for the day was the Statue of Liberty. I thought we were going to the island, but apparently you have to pay for that. There’s hawkers everrrywhere trying to get you to buy tickets to go to the island. We were catching the free ferry to Staten Island. While it doesn’t stop at the statue, it gives you a damn good view of it and also the New York Skyline. 

After that, the girls went to the Glossier store, and then we split up with Steph (she had fancy VIP tickets to The Daily Show) and we went and got beautiful, delicious, NY Pizza from Lil’ Frankies (thanks for the rec Simon!). Good shit. If you wanna see what they make, check out their instagram here.
