NYC recap

So we had the pleasure of spending the last couple of days in New York City.  The weather this time around was much more doable...even though the one day that we had to wait outside, it snowed/rained and was the coldest.  Go figure our last day was the best weather wise and we had to spend that time on the bus back home.

Megabus is awesome by the way, if I never mentioned it before.  It was an hour late to pick us up in Baltimore (apparently there was a big accident that was holding up traffic), but it so worth not having to deal with Jersey/NY drivers and the $13 tolls.

Trip recap:
-Staten Island Ferry, which is a free option if you want to get a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty and the cityscape from the water.
-We saw rats in the Subway.  I was hoping for Splinter and the Turtles.
-Also saw a women vomit in a bag on the Subway.  She then proceeded to ignore the fact that she's carrying around a bag of her own vomit.  Lovely.
-The Highline.  My favorite place in NYC.
-99 cent pizza
-Dinner in Koreatown
-de Throwdown wafel from Wafel and Dinges' food truck.
-Being in the live studio audience on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report (there'll be a blog post about this soon).
-Seeing my aunt and uncle and having a mini Passover Seder with them.
-Papaya King
-Chinatown (wasn't the greatest and could've lived without)
-Walking.  Lots and lots of walking.  We ended up walking from the Staten Island Ferry station all the way back up to Midtown (45th St).  And not in a straight path, more like a zigzag.
-Seeing my baby brother's twin in Koreatown next to us.  Spitting image!  Even the mannerisms were spot on.
-Central Park, even though it was raining at that point.
