I realize this is a cliche, but I have to say it. I love New York!
Last week I visited friends who live in Englewood, New Jersey. We went into New York city three of the days that I was there. I immediately fell in love with the city. I wasn't really sure how I would like it, but I think that I could move there tomorrow and be happy.
The first day we had lunch at Azuri Cafe, which has amazing falafel. It is a tiny, hole in the wall sort of place on a narrow side street. My friends have been to Israel, and they said that the falafel was the closest they've ever had to the falafel in Israel.
That day we also went to Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and the Empire State Building; we walked by the library and got cupcakes from Crumbs, which were amazing.
That day we had sushi for dinner, which was really good. It was only my third time having sushi, and I liked it the best. I guess it really is better when you are close to the ocean. I especially liked the blackened pepper tuna roll and the spicy tuna roll. I have determined that I don't like raw salmon though.
Soho, where I bought a few things. From the Village, we got on the Subway and rode over to Brooklyn. From there, we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge back to Manhattan.
After we crossed the Brooklyn Bridge we went and saw the World Trade Center site. We then walked to Battery Park and walked along the river to where the Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty ferry is. We didn't have time to go to either of those places, but I did get to see the Statue of Liberty from the park.
The first 2 days were a lot of fun and a whirlwind of activity and sightseeing. More to come about day 3.
