Two weeks!

Top 3 things I’ve learned since I’ve moved here:

1) The weather is UN. PRE. DICTABLE. weather.com is unreliable unless you’re checking it the day of. Even then it’s not trusty. Let’s just hope it’s like that right now. NYC is in this weird in-between stage.. it’s not exactly Summer yet. weather.com claimed that it would rain straight for a week but uhh, it hasn’t. Oh well, no need to complain about decent weather!

2) Walk at the speed of traffic. Pedestrian traffic. New Yorkers walk faster than.. uh, well, pretty much everyone else. Walk fast or get out of the way! Some of us are late for work!!

3) When there are 2+ food carts that serve the same food and you can’t decide which is better, just look for the one with the line. There are a bunch of food carts off of Broadway near the office and @ least 4 serve falafel. The cart that consistently has a LOOOONG line (that moves fast, though!) is Sam’s Falafel. It’s DELICIOUS. I’ll probably have some tomorrow.

Ah.. a fortnight in Manhattan. So what’s new with me? Well, I went shopping this weekend. I must say that the sample sales in NYC are unparalleled. I went shopping ALL OVER–the fashion district, Chelsea/Flatiron, Tribeca, the village & Soho. I picked up a 100% king sized cotton quilt, a couple pairs of jeans (sales @ uniqlo! go now!), a cardigan, a couple tops, a yoga mat.. yea, shopping here is great. Oh I also picked up the MOST COMFORTABLE FLATS I’VE EVER WORN, EVER. They’re called Sanuk. Apparently they’re sandals? They’re so comfortable. I’d rather wear them in the house than be barefoot.. THAT’S how comfortable they are.

Oh, I also signed the lease for my new apartment! Before I moved over here, I was really scared that a month wouldn’t be enough time to find a place. I posted an ad on Craigslist looking for dog friendly, trustworthy & responsible roommates. I ended up finding a roommate w/ an available room a couple days after I moved! Such luck! I’m moving in with this great Greek NYU student and her brother. They’re cool and I’m super excited to live with them. In 2 weeks, I’ll be bidding farewell to the village & saying hello to Gramercy!

Hope everyone’s doing well!
