Last Official New York Post.

I'm sad to announce that this will be my last post under the "New York Edition" title. Can you believe those 7 weeks went by so quickly? They just FLEW by for me. So many great memories from New York. Great people. Great fun. Great food. Great times. It will always have a special place in my heart.

Because I spent about 2 months there, I want to share some of my favorite events/places with you so that when you visit, you can partake in some of the wonderful stuff I had an opportunity to.

Good Eats:

Patsy's Pizza
Numero 28 Pizza (West Village)
Dos Toros (Union Square)
The Counter (Times Square)
Artichoke Pizza (14th between 1st and 2nd?)
Dinosaur BBQ (125th)
Sylvia's (Lenox and... 127th?)
The Burger Joint (in Le Meridian)
Do the make-your-own pasta at any Europa Cafe. One of my favorite lunch options.
Thai food anywhere that looks Thai-ish
La Esquina (106 Kenmare St)
Elmo Restaurant and Lounge (delicious brunch menu, but it's really only popular for "ladies day out" if you're picking up what I'm throwing down...)
Any food from Trader Joe's (most especially the salted dark chocolate covered almonds)

I might think of more if you ask me, but that's all I can come up with off the top of my head.

Fun Things to Do:

Walk High Line Park
Hang out in Central Park on the weekend (lots of great people-watching)
Events down at the piers
Watching Top Gun on the deck of the Intrepid (Ok, so maybe you will never be able to do this, but it was super fun and I want to share it with you.)
Chelsea Market
Strand Bookstore
Atlantic City (especially when it only costs you $5 to go)
Walking Riverside Park
Hanging around the Lower East Side (lots of groovy-looking people to stare at)
Karaoke
Mets Game
Go to Trader Joe's and try to convince them to cut a watermelon in half for you
Lots of celebrity sightings in SoHo
Brooklyn
Lunch in Bryant Park

Again, these are just a few things we experienced. So much more to do.

Basically, I loved my time in New York. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. And now I'm ready to return to the real world and begin the search for my grown-up job!
