new york new york!

To celebrate spring break, a group of us at Westmin decided to go to New York. The three Dans worked really hard to plan transportation and the schedule for the day. Thanks Dans! We met at 6:15 am -__- and made our way to Jersey, Jersey to Staten Island, train to ferry, Brooklyn to Manhattan. We had A LOT of traveling to do.

on the ferry

We got to try the famous Grimaldi's. I remember my old youth group pastor Kwon rave about the pizza under the bridge with melting cheese. It was good. But I'm not really a pizza person. Pizza is pizza lol.

After some shopping in Soho, we made our way over to Eileen's Special Cheesecake. This place supposedly has the best cheesecake ever! I didn't try it because I was so thirsty, but looking at the pictures makes me regret not eating it :(

Then we made our way to the famous Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. There was a huge line but it was worth it. I tried the Shack Stack, which is a cheeseburger with fried portobello filled with cheese. YUMMMM!!!! I'm craving it again.

Celebrity sighting!!!!! Do you guys recognize her?! She was Jessica in the movie Crazy Stupid Love. Her real name is Analeigh Tipton. I walked out of the store and I kept staring at her because I knew she was somebody, but I didn't know from where. I thought it was from America's Next Top Model, which she was in too! But anyway, Esther and I were super excited to see her :) We later saw Rascal Flatts in Times Square but I wasn't able to take a picture (sorry Jane)

The girls and the boys

I wasn't able to take pictures later on in the day, but we went to Magnolia Bakery and had banana pudding. I don't want to brag but it really tasted the same as mine. But then again, I used their recipe. I was just surprised that it tasted exactly the same. Afterwards, I met up with one of my old youth group students, Sarah. I think I spotted David Choi while eating chicken and rice too. Oh, New York, how I love thee! I was so sad to leave behind all the yum food and shopping. But I will definitely be back soon!

Oh, yea! Updating on this NY trip made me realize that I didn't update on my last NY trip with Joan. That'll be coming soon! :)
