New York City – September 11, 2011 – Spanning only a week, this was longest amount of time I had stayed in New York. My only advantage is the first couple of times I got all the tourist junk out of the way. Still, Seth and I couldn’t help a stroll through an almost bare Times Square at 3 AM the first night. The days that followed led me to walk most of Central Park, The Metropolitan Museum, a Polaroid exhibit, basements in Brooklyn, and endless subway rides. All this inevitably to a new pair of shoes and a better grasp of this fascinating city.
