Outfit Journal: NYC Highlights

But before that, here's a pic of us the night they arrived in SFO:

Moi, Micah, Lei, Mommy and Daddy

NYC:

Me and my family at Times Square

Special thanks to Kuya Mannyboy. Miss you na!

We have a picture too ;)

We stayed in Crowne Plaza. It's located in the touristy area - Times Square. My dad liked the location a lot but I am really a fan of Soho. But the hotel, I have nothing bad to say about it at all. Great service!

Living Room

Dining Area

Bedroom. We had to get extra beds though. Hehe!

Our hotel's near:

I can't remember if it's near or along Broadway.

and...

M&M's

and...

W Hotel. It looks so crisp and modern.

Actually, the hotel's beside Hersey's Store. No pic though.

First dinner at Juniors. I enjoyed their cheesecake, but I really like Cheesecake Factory's better. I guess because it's richer. But needless to say, mine is my favorite. Wink wink! ;)

Daddy, Kuya Manny and Gg. Parang nahihiya kayo ngumiti? Hehe!

Gg and I. "Cheesecake tasting".

Then we went to:

Rockefeller Plaza where the famed Christmas tree is located.

Remember Home Alone 2 Lost in New York? The tree is humongous - literally a giant tree with all the Christmas lights! The picture doesn't give justice at all.

Lei gets fascinated whenever she sees this. It reminds her of Wall-e. ;)

She got excited to see the policemen too and the huge horse. Hehe. Picture-picture. Shy pa kunwari.

Midnight Snack, Breakfast, etc... Halal Food. Sarap. I just can't eat it everyday of my life. Nakakasuya. Hehe. I liked the spicy lamb gyro.

We hopped in this gray line bus:

NY Sightseeing. Too touristy noh? I'd like to do non-touristy stuff if and when I go back. ;)

Hehe. I liked this pic a lot. Micah didn't know that Gg's making faces.

View from the bus. We're on the 2nd floor.

I always see this building in movies. It's nice to see it in real life. Hihi.

Empire State. We didn't go in though. We were supposed to go back and do that but we completely forgot.

Wall Street

I wanna walk the streets of NYC Fashion District and really see it next time. I hope there's still next time!

I saw Parsons School of Design. I don't know why I didn't inquire here but I don't regret it. I love FIDM. San Francisco, it is. :)

I want to see this Leica Gallery next time too!

Ground Zero

Okay, the rest isn't in order anymore. I can't remember the sequence anymore!

We saw this billboard too. Yehes! Congrats Pacman.

We also went to Pier 17:

That's me and my daddy looking at the directory.

Pier 17 Shops and Restaurants

Artsy Farty shot

We had ice cream even if it was snowing!

Here's Lei trying to sleep.

And this is me trying to wake her up. Pilya. Haha. I just missed making kulit. ;) Wake up. Let's eat pizza!

Ray's Pizza. I don't know if this is the best one here but I liked it.

Kuya Mannyboy and Lei

Lei and I with the Pizzaboy (Gg). Hehe!

Gg took this. We bought pasalubongs for Ate Mel and Toots.

We also went to the Musuem of Natural History:

Family Pic with the Dino bones. I think this one is Cera from The Land Before Time. Wink wink ;)

Kuya Meyni took a pic of Gg taking our picture. ;)

Nice face Lei. Haha! Loves ya! ;)

Walking to Jacque Torres. It's kinda hidden. Micah's so dalaga na noh?

Went to Jacque Torres. Yummy hot chocolate! Perfect for the weather while we were there. It's so viscous it's almost like condensed milk.

Nice boxes of chocolates.

If only it's edible, I would eat it too! Haha!

Inside the store

After the hot choc, we went to Soho:

With Gg at Soho.

Gg and Lei. Kidrobot!

Outside Uniqlo. I scored 2 fine Merino Wool cardigans and a thick wool sweater. That's my only loot from this NYC trip and it's perfectly fine. ;) Micah got her first pair of Diesel-Adidas (a collaboration) here.

We also met Lei's friend:

Lei and her good friend, Gianne

My only complaint is: their subway. It's really soo dirty and a lot smaller compared to Bart in the Bay Area. But NYC Subway can bring you to more places, unlike Bart. I guess, I can never memorize the route and all. It's too complicated! Hehe.

Nice shot by Micah.

We have lotsa pictures at the station though and even on the train. Look:

Daddy, Mommy, Micah, Me and Lei

With the train this time.

With the train already moving. Daddy got bored. He didn't join us in this pic. Hehe!

Me ang Gg

Mommy, Me and Micah

Cousins!

Me and Gg again

Candid. That's me talking to mommy.

I guess the best part is the snow. It's the first time my family saw falling snow. To me, that's really memorable. One morning, Lei, Daddy and I went out to get breakfast. Lei just took a bath so her hair's all wet. She was so surprised when she touched her hair when we were outside. It was frozen! She got scared for a while and then we laughed! Hehe.
