A few weeks ago, I decided I was going to go to NYC for spring break. Why? I love the city and didn't want to go back home for break. Due to having tons of frequent flyer miles and a relative staying out in Queens, I basically only spent money on food and shows (both of which I consumed, heavily, this trip
) I went alone which might be strange to some but I don't mind traveling alone. It's good to get away from it all once in awhile and I don't have to feel responsible for someone else.
Like I said, I spent most of my time just kicking it in and around Manhattan. The most touristy thing I did was probably walk across the Brooklyn Bridge since I didn't have a chance to last time I was in the city. When I wasn't going to a show or trying some new restaurant, I spent my time at various cafe's and parks around the city catching up on my reading. The weather has been pretty incredible this week.
The restaurants I went to worth mentioning... Prosperity Dumpling in Chinatown, Kum Gang San in Flushing, Chikalicious, Curry-Ya, Momofuku Noodle Bar, and Ippudo in the East Village, 53rd and 6th halal food cart, and my favorite of the cafe's I stopped by at, Ost Cafe in the East Village.
The bands I saw included The xx, jj, Nosaj Thing, Best Coast, Japandroids, Leisure, Dum Dum Girls, and GIRLS.
Can't wait to go back after I turn 21 this summer. The constant tease of the bars and 21+ shows was depressing.
Traveling between California and NY > bickering about which is better
