A Big Apple...

I don't remember who said this or if I'm even getting the exact quote right, but someone once described New York City as a place were you can be alone, but your never truly alone. That's what I loved about visiting NYC for the first time in October.

As I said in an earlier post, my brother and I went to NYC to visit our younger sister. She actually moved to there in June with her boyfriend.

The city is amazing. Everything is at your fingertips. For the five days that we were there, I tried to do everything that I possibly could. But five days only stretches so far, so here's a list of what I visited...

• New Museum, the Whitney Museum of Art and MOMA (Museum of Modern Art)
• Grand Central Station
• Rockefeller Center and Top of the Rock.
• Wall Street
• New York Public Library and Bryant Park
  
• Central Park
  
• Staten Island Ferry at night
• Times Square
  

I did get lost sometimes on the subway and while I was walking, but for the most part, you can always retrace your steps. Oh and being a cupcake gal, I did try some wonderful cupcakes at Babycakes and Crumbs. I had a red velvet cupcake at Babycakes and a coconut topped cupcake at Crumbs. Both were both very delicious.

Hopefully my sister will be in the city for a while, so another visit needs to be made in the future.
