I heart New York

Five weeks straight is a bit much to spend with the family, so a week in New York to catch up with old friends seemed in order. Last week was great. DC’s first snowfall of the year nearly made me miss my bus, but I arrived safely to see a snowy New York.

Snow in New York makes a trip to Rockefeller Center mandatory, but since I was dropped off right next to Macy’s, how could I resist visiting the epitome of Santadom?

I left Macy’s and headed to Rockefeller Center to see the tree but got sidetracked by the Charmin Public Toilets. It was like a bathroom-oriented theme park, and to be honest, it was more fun than Macy’s Santaland.

After the toilets, I headed to Rockefeller Center, thereby completing my tourist requirements for the week. The rest of my time was spent catching up with New York friends, San Francisco friends, and Seattle friends. I stayed eight nights, two nights each with four different friends, neatly cycling through almost everyone I knew in New York.

And my week couldn’t have ended any better when, on my last night, we happened to walk past a bar just in time to catch Happyfunsmile’s last performance of the year. How lucky can you get?

I’m back in DC now, and it’s just not the same…
