Eventful day today roaming the city like a tourist with Bryan. Got woken up at 11:30 on my first day back to let him in my house... We got dim sum for lunch; it's so good to have real food besides canned soup. Then we headed towards NYU area and met a bunch of (drunk) Santa Clauses on the subway. I thought it was the Santa Claus parade, but apparently it's SantaCon where people dress up in Santa suits and go bar hopping in the day time. Interesting train ride. While waiting for the bathroom in McDonald's, we had a fun chat with one of the Santas. She complained about McDonald's only opening one bathroom, how unacceptable it was, and how she had to pee really badly. She's a pretty cool Santa. Then we met up with Dorothy and just played Wii in her apartment for two hours. Decided to go to Shake Shack at 23rd Street and again, saw Santa Clauses everywhere we went. Something I love about New York is how there's always different things going on everyday and it's so interesting to see what people in New York do. Shake Shack was delicious. We actually got a seat under the furnaces and it was really warm. Afterwards, Bryan and I went to 59th Street and made our way down 5th Avenue to Times Square. We stopped by Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas tree; it's so crowded there the streets are sealed off to cars and we had to nudge our way through the crowd. These tourists. The decorations make the city seems more festive and puts everyone in the holiday spirit. This is my favorite time of the year. :)
Delicious Dim Sum!
