Moving

Hi Readers,

Sorry for the crazy delay in my posting - I will fill you in on what has been going on. I have been moving! As some of you may know, I am in the process of moving to New York City to attend graduate school at Teachers College of Columbia University. As one can imagine, I am very, very excited. Since I have returned from India I have been setting up my very own apartment with my mom in Manhattan!

Well - I'm not going to tell you where I am living in case you are a crazy stalker (which I hope none of you are), but I will show you some pictures of my bedroom.

Isn't it cute? I think so :-)

Anyway, other than moving we have been finding ways to keep ourselves busy. Last week we went to go see Newsies on Broadway. It was great! I definitely recommend it, and let's be honest, when has Disney ever put out something that is not fantastic? 

I have been told there are a lot of free things to do in The City that I should be exploring. Last weekend we met up with one of my closest friends from high school and walked along the High Line in the Meat Packing District. Basically, the High Line is an old elevated train track that has been converted and preserved as a public park. It's pretty awesome.

From there we walked all the way to SoHo and stumbled in to a Crate and Barrel. Lucky for me they had dishes on sale!

My Dishes!

So cute, right? I love them. Well, I basically love anything bright but these are exceptionally fantastic!

We have also been eating at a variety of New York restaurants that have been quite delicious. I will share a few highlights with you. My favorite restaurant EVER is called Celeste - it's incredible. Fair warning- if you go it's cash only, so be prepared, but you can get delicious pasta for about $12. We also ate at 5 Napkin Burger simply because the name was catchy, but were pleased with the yummy Ahi Tuna Burger. Per my cousins recommendation (they went to Columbia) we tried Absolute Bagel, which they proclaimed to be "the best bagel ever." Was it the best bagel ever? I'm not sure. Was it a good bagel? Absolutely. My favorite place that we have eaten so far definitely has to be the Hummus Place. I love Mediterranean food of all sorts and I definitely love hummus, but the best part is I can afford to eat here on my own AND it is a chain all over the city... score!

Now we are visiting some family in the Hamptons before we start our two-week road trip across the country. Don't worry, I will be posting as often as I have internet about our trip.
