Day 35: New York City
June 30: Not happy Jan! In all seriousness, I love being in the US and am having a great time in New York City too - there's something here for everyone. Except for not having my friends around it feels like home - so I'm just disappointed that I have to leave on Monday (it's now Thursday) to go to Israel. Thinking I may come back afterwards though... play it by ear.
Today I decided it was time to clean up my messy hostel room, before heading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Upper East Side. Remembered I had been here before three years ago, so did a highlights tour, saw a few notable pieces, and decided to enjoy the not-as-hot less-muggy weather outside instead. (It's been around 90 degrees Farenheit with 95% plus humidity all week - they even said the humidity was 100% the other day!!!).
Met up with a friend I met last night too - Morris. Chilled at the Central Park Zoo for a few hours... something I have always wanted to do - like Jennifer Lopez in 'Maid in Manhattan'.
Had a browse in a few stores including Bloomingdales, before heading to "Jewtopia", a very funny play about guys wanting to date Jewish girls and the whole NYC dating scene. Very well written, hilarious... great acting too (the two leads are the guys who actually wrote the play), could easily see it again... highly recommended.
Did the usual hot chocolate at Starbucks before calling it an early-ish night.
