Tuesday, July 27th.

New York City on my third day. I haven't done anything productive or fun yet, as all of this walking has made me yearn for some stationary time. Very uninteresting, so I'll talk about yesterday.

After I left the hotel, I spent my day walking around the area near the hotel. I started by trying to pick a cheap place for lunch. I found what I was looking for in a small chinese restaurant. It was good, but I must admit, I don't think I could tell the difference between quality chinese food or mall chinese food. Then I walked some of the back roads to check out the apartment complexes in the neighborhood.

I kept walking, and decided to do some shopping on 5th avenue. It was a lot of the same shops you can find back in Minneapolis, but it was still a good way to kill time. After some time, I met up with Tyler and Kari at the hotel where we waited for some friends of theirs to show up, so we could have a night out on the town. We went to a delicious restaurant and split wings and burger au poivres. Delicious. Then we went to Motorcity for a couple of drinks, then onto Max Fish's for more.

Then it was time to head back, as both Kari and Tyler needed to wake up early. Tyler was hungry, so we ended up at a little deli near the hotel. There was a cat there, who seemed nice enough, so of course, I wanted to pet it. It attacked me. I hate cats. Then we went back to the hotel and went to sleep.

I'm a little groggy from too much sleep, so apologies for the uninteresting post, but believe me, it was all a lot of fun

Now, I've procrastinated about as much as a I can, so it's time to shower and find myself a small, cheap meal.
