Alone in Manhattan!

I've been into the city a lot, but i've always been with people that know their way around, well Haley just moved to Jersey from North Dakota and had never been to the city before, we couldn't find anyone with experience to come with us, but i was confident enough to take her myself. We stayed with Nolan who is friends with my employers. He got a last min call to take care of some stuff out of town, so he gave us the keys to his appartment for the weekend. What an adventure! We started out in Time Square and did all the tourist stuff, after walking around all day we decided we were going to start living like true New Yorkers and took our first taxi back to the appartment. Nolan is a chef in the city, so naturally he recommended the best resteraunts around. We ate at a cute little chinese restraunt on 2nd ave that has the best orange chicken i have ever had! After dinner we decided to call it a night, knowing we had a long day of shopping ahead of us.

The next day another friend named Dennis hungout with us. He picked us up and we went to brunch at a cafe on 88th off 3rd ave. I had amazing german apple pancakes! Yum! Next we went to Harold Square to start shopping mission to find coats. First stop was H&M...there it was-the perfect coat for me right in front of my eyes! On sale too! With some help from Dennis, the owner of the store and the door man i found the perfect fit. Next was Daffys. No luck. Macy's was next and Haley found a nice Calvin Klein coat originally $298 for a killer deal of $70! To finish off our new look we got hats, scarfs and gloves. After shopping we went to Central Park. It was beautiful! Cold...but definitely worth walk! Needless to say, the weekend was amazing and now i am the one that has experience :)
