I am currently on a Bolt bus on the way to NYC peeps! My roommate Kristin and I left our apartment at 7 am this morning, picked up my dry cleaning from the luckily open very early on Saturday cleaners because I forgot to go Wednesday, and Thursday and Friday, and took the T to the bus station.

Can I just say I LOVE having internet on the bus – and a power outlet! Normally I take Greyhound, and while it gets me to my destination it’s not always the most comfortable or enjoyable of trips. Especially when my iPod dies and my book is finished. So now I plan on watching YouTube and doing some work for the next few hours and then getting out and exploring NYC after we check into our hotel.

Anyone know of any must eat/drink/see places in NYC besides the very obvious? (I haven’t been since I was about 9 so my last memory is of buying a Doodle Bear in FAO Schwartz.)

Doodle Bear with minimal doodling. (via Amazon)

(This is definitely a modernized version and I’m almost positive my doodle bear totally wasn’t wearing pants or a headband but I guess a lot changes in 14 years. Also mine was blue. But I think you get the idea.)

So for now I will leave you with:

A. The awesome necklace I got at Loft even though I shouldn’t really be shopping and I haven’t recently but this was just too cute and it was the last one in the store so yea…

Pretty! (via Loft) I love coupons.

And B. A big hello from us on the bus!

Had to throw the hated peace sign.

Maybe next time I write I will have had some legitimate adventures? Currently my only goal is to buy falafel from a street vendor so I will definitely make that happen soon.
