Ready or Not, Here I Come

I'm going going, back back, to Cali Cali..  One way or another, i'll be moving back to California at the end of March.  Exciting!  My adventures here in NY ends after 2 years.

NY has it's moments.  I think i took on this adventure when i was too old.  If you want to explore NY, it's probably best during your early 20's or possibly while taking courses in NYU.  The crowd is definitely different from LA or SF.  I probably didn't take full advantage of my time here to explore and do all that NY has to offer which is a shame, but that's most likely due to the fact that i spent most of the time here healing a broken heart.

It's time to start anew!  Got so many things left to do.. anybody who lives in NY have recommendations on "Must Do's" before i leave?  I've already done Statue of Liberty, Empire State Bld., Central Park, Union Sqr, Manhattan Ktown, Flushing Ktown, Chinatown, MoMa, and the strip next to NYU. 

Alas, i will end this blog with the top 5 most annoying and satisfying aspects of New York.

Most Annoying

1. Tourists
2. People walking on the street while texting and reading their PDA's
3. People blocking the subway entrance while looking for their MTA pass
4. The slowest persons trying to get out of the trains first, only to block both lanes of the stairs towards the exit
5. Post snow days when the ice is melting, and there is a patch of ice on the cross walk.  You step on it thinking it's solid, only to find that it's a sheet of ice with a big puddle of dirty water underneath and you end up a foot deep in water

Most Satisfying

1. Snow.  You can only see snow in Cali if you go to the mountains.  In NY it's everywhere and it's beautiful (until it turn brown and yucky)
2. Public Transportation.  Never have to worry about DUI
3. Food (Hell's Kitchen) - So many choices
4. No Tax on clothes (under $100)
5. The vast array of culture and history to explore
