New York Trip - May 2014

May 9, 2014 (Friday)
  • Bus at 11:45PM - tried to sleep but had to wake up to cross the border and then again at Albany for a rest stop so really I didn't get much sleep
  • Arrived at 8:00AM so I was almost an hour late - met up with mom and ga-jie who came to pick me up and then we went back to the apartment where I slept until 10-ish
  • Got bagels are Murrey's bagels
  • Went to a grad art show at SVA (School of Visual Arts) in Chelsea and also walked around and visited some local galleries, a park that was above ground
  • Bought some cake at some popular cake store that I don't remember and then stopped for coffee - I didn't really have much of an appetite the whole day
  • Went to another art show that Yo's friends were in - they had free food so we just had dinner there and then went back to the apartment - the show was really close to the apartment and at the Society of Illustrators (or something like that)

May 10, 2014 (Saturday)
  • We were meeting dads high school friend today so we went to his place in Brooklyn  - supposed to meet at 12 but we were kind of late because all woke up late and only left the place at 11:30
  • Walked around and went through a food fair, bought some donuts and a taco and then sat around at his apartment for a bit before we went to eat lunch at a pizza place
    • Pizza was pretty good but crust at the end was a bit too thick
  • Walked across the Brooklyn bridge while Yo went skateboarding - went back to friends place and then went out for dinner at a Thai restaurant which wasn't that great (and had shitty fusion desserts)

May 11, 2014 (Sunday)
  • Supposed to meet CheeHung and Daigugu but it was too complicated so we decided not to
  • Went to the MET and then met up with ga-jies friend Shruti at around 1:30 before we went to eat lunch at the cafe in the MET which was super expensive (we ordered three desserts and two mains and just shared everything)
  • Walked through Central Park to head towards the Museum of Natural History (which apparently isn't even that interesting so we decided not to go - went to look for food instead)
  • Me and Yo bought some raw organic super expensive smoothies along the way
  • Had afternoon tea - food wasn't that great honestly
  • Went to watch Chicago

May 12, 2014 (Monday)
  • We were supposed to wake up earlier to go to the MOMA but mom was really tired so again didn't leave until like.. 11 or 12. Walked around the MOMA until 2 and then split up (ga-jie went to meet her friend)
  • Rest of us had some hot dogs and then went shopping at Uniqlo
  • Headed towards Chinatown so Yo could buy some skate stuff and meet up with ga-jie to head to dinner
  • Went to eat dinner at this restaurant near the water that had a nice view of Brooklyn
    • Food was alright, dessert was pretty good

May 13, 2014 (Tuesday)
  • Flight was at 1PM so I should've arrived at 11AM but dad confused me and said that I had to leave at 9AM (only takes an hour to get to he airport) so I ended up arriving super early - it also took me like.. 5minutes to get through the gate and everything so really I was 2hrs early for my flight
  • Going through customs was also instantaneous because they have the machines now
