I ❤ NY - Part I (Times Square & Subway)

Travel to NY from Portland requires a 6-hours flight and 3 hours jet lag, all the way from west to east.

NY10_PDX
Sipping my daily dose of caffeine at Portland airport. It was 6a.m. and I was literally sleepwalking.

NY10_onboard
They said, if you're lucky, you'll see three breathtaking snowy mountains while flying to the east. Chean saw them all while I was at sleep (but this picture only shows one :p). Needless to say, a lucky day was granted :D

NY10_jersey1
Hello Jersey~~ I guess.

NY10_jersey2
The awesome golf court I saw while landing at JFK (one of NY airports).

NY10_yellowcab
On the yellow cab, was heading to hotel.

NY10_checkin
Upon check-in.

NY10_hotelview
I stayed at Time Hotel in Time Square, just right across Chicago Theatre Building. How A.W.E.S.O.M.E!

But we didn't get to watch any Broadway shows; we didn't have that luxury of time to do what typical tourists would do. Anyway, we used to live in NY and watched many many broadway shows before; this trip is solely for shopping and foods. That's all I wanted to do ;)

NY10_roomno
Room 901.

NY10_room1
Not spacious, and not even luxurious although this room cost us few hundred dollars per night.

NY10_room2
But it's located at Times Square, and it's NY. I can live with that ^_________^

NY10_timesquare1
Times Square is all about neon lights, billboards, advertisements and crowds!!!

NY10_timesquare2
The sleepless city and me (I looked pretty sleepless too @.@).

NY10_timesquare3
SATC 2 movie billboards are everywhere.

NY10_timsquare4
Policemen here ride on horses, same as Portland. Don't ask cause I don't understand why either. But it's beyond cool to look at!

NY10_timsquare5
Uploaded this pic simply because I looked skinny in that. Haha :p

NY10_subway
Take you to the subway now.

NY10_subwaymap
NY subway is as convenient as Hong Kong MTR. Who needs a car?

NY10_subway2
Busy walkway in the subway station.

NY10_subway3
New Yorkers are always on the run. I can live with that too ;)

NY10_subway4
We were going to hunt for foodsssss :D

NY10_subway5
The train is here!!!

NY10_subway6
Chean on the train.

NY10_subway7
It's me!!! (FYI, I have no idea why those passengers next to me looks to desperate, perhaps it was late and they were tired, you tell me.)

NY10_subway8
Hopped on another transit train.

NY10_subway9
Vain and stupid, I know. But it's NY, who cares? By the way, my hair is getting longer! Y.A.Y!!!

I'll bring some famous NY foods over for the next post. It's going to extra-yummylicious and beyond fabulous.

Tell me you love NY too ❤❤




Love,
Bev and the city
