NYCfromQns

Enjoy a view of Manhattan from Queens.

QnsBrdge

Take a drive on one of NY’s numerous bridges at sunset.

NY Pizza

Grab a slice of New York-style pizza on the run.

vuittonny

Take pix of a boutique store on 5th Avenue.

pho

Have Pho on a freezing day @ Pho Pasteur in Chinatown

85 Baxter Street (btwn Walker & White)

New York, NY 10013

orozco

Take advantage of generous entertainment opportunities by world-renowned artists.

Diverse color positioning makes repetition fun: Gabriel Orozco @ MoMA

Monet_waterlilies

Be awed by the beauty of Water Lilies by Monet

moma

Visit one of my most favorite places in NY- MoMA

11 West 53th st.

New York, NY 10019

Never saw this place so packed in my life… took an hour just to enter.

frozen hot choco

Magically make a glass of Frozen Hot Chocolate disappear in five minutes.

Serendipity

225 E. 60th St.

New York, NY 10022

Call it a tourist spot but I just can’t resist it- even the 2 hour wait doesn’t faze me. If I could, I would have one everyday for a month and promise I won’t get sick of it.

manhattan in rain

Walk around midtown and become actively involved in people/cab watching- trust me, it gets quite interesting.

dylans

Conduct Candy & Chocolate investigation @ Dylan’s Candy Bar, where you will be greeted by every single candy ever existed on earth.

1011 Third Ave (at 60th)

New York, NY 10021

Since there was a two hour wait at Serendipity, went around the corner to kill time at Dylan’s. You gotta be smart to survive in NYC.

pvd

Take a walk down the memory lane.

PvD- one of my favorite DJs of all time. For a second I thought that I would love to be there… then again, I quit partying quite a while ago, not to mention the fact that I live 3,000 miles away.

panini

Have a break.

Panini & Lemon Soda @ a favorite cafe, Zibetto

NY at night

Manhattan at night in rain… besides the completely soaked boots, it was quite beautiful.

Lastly,

Reminisce the good old days.

Also be reminded of the reasons why I left.

Manhattan- Traffic Fun

Lesson 100: Never Drive in the City

Spent quality time with my beloved Manhattan for a good 5 hours

Noticed what large Wifi options I had passing by 55th & Park

CentralPark

Central Park is even more beautiful on a rainy day.

Hello Kitty in the City (Not an official title- I like that they rhyme. :P )

by Tom Sachs

 

chinese food

Chinese-To-Go for dinner. It may look a little bizarre, but it’s quite delicious: Shrimp Egg Foo Young & Won Ton Soup

I like how everything can be delivered at any time of the day within 20 minutes in NYC- AND they arrive hot! The delivery men must go through some rigorous training.
