It finally happened. I found my way to New York City (by way of The Classic East). On a very, very early flight—but we explored as much as you can possibly do in four days.

Times Square, Rockefeller Center (for the Nintendo Store, obviously), the UN headquarters, Bryant Park, near the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Met, the West Village, the Upper West Side, Park Slope, Queens, Hell’s Kitchen. Obviously there’s more to see than can anyone do in one trip, but I think we made a solid dent. We definitely ate and drank our way through the city.

It was everything I anticipated, and all the things that I want. Until the 6 a.m. flight back to Charlotte followed by a drive directly to the office.
