When I was a junior in college, I decided to visit a friend of mine in New York City. I was from the west coast, and I had never been there before, so naturally I was somewhat wary of going. I decided to take the bus up from Washington DC to New York. I figured […]
Last September, I took a road trip to the Big Apple with three friends of mine. The reason for the trip was to see Lupe Fiasco play one of his NYC concerts on The Beach at Governors Island, but that wasn’t the only “fiasco” on our trip. We left Charlottesville, VA, an hour later than […]
My husband and I honeymooned in New York, because I have always loved the city. My husband, Shawn, had another reason for wanting to visit. He greatly respects the works of Isaac Asimov.

I’ve lived in New York for a long time, so I’ve had some great experiences. That being said, I’ve also had some not-so-great. The worst one that I can think of is the time I went to a midtown bar and got robbed in less than 10 minutes! Said bar is no longer in existence, […]
