Whenever I go to New York City there are certain things I always have to do when I’m there. With such a great city only a couple of states away, I often find myself catching the ACELA or Mega Bus NYC-bound, and by now I can’t count the number of times I’ve been there on my two hands. With so many different people and a great variety of happening events, there’s always something new to experience. Being of a rather restless nature, I love that about a city. Now, that being said some places are simply too good to only be seen once or twice. My first stop in the spring through fall seasons is Central Park. There is nothing more serene than walking on the winding paths beneath the lush green foliage, or stopping to watch the little kids play with their rented sailboats in the pond. After making my way through the park, I usually find myself entering the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts. Not nearly as large as Le Louvre in Paris, but the exhibitions are magnificent and it’s thereby one of my favorite museums. All this walking around and observing gets my appetite worked up which leads to a quick subway trip down to SoHo or The Village where I like to pick out one of their numerous restaurants or cafes. At some point during the day it’s also necessary to do some shopping on 5th Ave and around Times Square. If I feel like indulging, my itinerary also includes visiting Babycakes for one of their exceptional, sweet vegan cupcakes (I’m not 100% sure, but they may have non-vegan treats as well). Hmm…perhaps it’s time for another visit to NYC?
