My girlfriend and I took a two day getaway in New York City this past spring break after an exhausting first day consisting of traveling and heading to the hotel.
We started the morning early leaving the hotel at 7 am for breakfast. I planned to take my girlfriend to Good Enough To Eat on the upper west side between 83rd and 84th. The restaurant was very busy regardless of the time but proved it was worth the wait. My girlfriend and I shared a coconut chocolate pancake and an apple cinnamon pancake along with some coffee and orange juice and made small talk with our neighboring tables. The experience was great.
After our morning treat, we walked down Broadway and went window-shopping. On the way we stopped by Zabars, and though we did not buy anything but a bagel and a couple of chocolate bars, we enjoyed the ambiance. Walking down south towards Times Square we also stopped by an Apple store and had fun looking at the newly released iPad and other Apple products.
Enjoying the sun, we slowly made our way down to Columbus Circle where we stopped by the Museum of Art & Design. As a Graphics Design student I couldn’t help but be attracted to the architecture of the museum and gift shop. I however decided not to go inside the museum, but took the subway to the MOMA and settled there for a few hours while my girlfriend endured a few hours of me babbling about some of their pieces. She however did seem to enjoy the gift shop on the way out. With time running out we headed to Port Authority to catch our ride back home and end our great two-day date in New York City.
