I just….ugh….I don’t think a jacket that color is ever necessary.
The messengers in this city are hardcore. Most of them work via foot or bicycle using the most intense messenger bags I’ve ever seen. This was the first messenger style bike I’ve seen — I wouldn’t want to be responsible for maneuvering that thing around in this town!
I have no idea what this poster is advertising, but I like it anyways.
EDIT: Since posting this, I have been informed that this is for a new season of Mad Men
“Sh*t New Yorkers Say”
This is funny….because its true.
Every day in New York seemed to be the start of a new adventure, and although I missed home a little, so little I was ashamed of it, I was thrilled when I woke up every morning in my little bed under the eaves on 12th Street and felt such gratitude just to be able breathe that electric New York air.

This is just the absolute wackiest weather I’ve ever experienced. And I’ll be honest, I hate it.

The Lion King: Broadway Edition
I’m not over exaggerating when I say this: I’ve been wanting to see The Lion King on Broadway for the better part of my entire life. (It came to Broadway in 1997, so this is completely plausible.)
And it was totally worth the wait. I loved every single second of it. Amazing music. Unbelievable costumes. Outstanding performance by every single person on that stage. Despite the fact that it was approximately 238128324 degrees in the theater, I had goosebumps the entire time.
The Minskoff Theater is actually the largest one I’ve been in so far.
They’re super crazy about not taking pictures while in the actual theater, but I had to sneak this one in anyways.
I snapped this on the way out of the theater — it’s a little shaky because I was on an escalator. But it’s a massive wooden mask, similar to one used in the show.
Also worth noting, I am becoming a Broadway addict. This was my third show in 3 months.
9/11 Memorial
Although I didn’t live in this city when 9/11 happened, I think something happens when you become a resident here. You have a better understanding how peoples lives were affected. Things hit a little bit closer to home. The process of getting into the memorial was basically like going through airport security, but once you’re in, it’s worth the chaos.
It’s a beautifully breathtaking space.

I guess this bike was made by Paul Jr. from Orange County Choppers. It was pretty cool looking.
