3/26: Our last day!

Our last day! We really just had a chance to do one thing, so we did the ultimate tourist activity and went to the top of the Empire State Building! The visibility was excellent, and we saw a lot. We then found a great lunch spot and headed back to our hotel for our bags and taxi to the airport. It was hard to leave, and I really want to go back. I realized that I really missed living on the east coast after college and during grad school when I could come into the city periodically (from Boston or from Washington, DC). Some things I love about New York:

The subways!! Yes, yes. We rode a lot of them and became expert MetroCard users. I love the dank, dingy smell in the subway stops, the rumbling and screeching noises, the lights flashing in the dark through the windows between the stops. It's so great that you can just hop on a subway after a night out and just get home and there are lots of other people out doing that, too.

And I love the streets glutted with yellow taxis. And I love walking down the street with so many people. I thought people overall seemed pretty friendly (of course there were people who were extra friendly because they were trying to sell us comedy club tickets!). But, we really liked the whole New York vibe and the whole pulsing feel of the city. So, I can't wait to go back again! If you have a chance to go, definately do it!
