So, we made it. In the dead of what would become the worst NYC winter in 100 years. But when we first arrived, not even that was able to deter our excitement. Luckily, since we moved so close to Christmas, David was able to have a few days off and we got to go exploring, along with alllllll of the tourists. We just walked around a lot and got a sense of where things were. We practiced our subway skills and honed our knowledge of the City. We sightsaw and learned that when you have to use the bathroom, you just stop into any bar or restaurant and get a drink. They’ll gladly let you use the bathroom if you pay them for something! 🙂

Some of our sight seeing from that first week or three:

Upper West Side brownstones. Soooo pretty. Almost made me want to live up there. Almost.
