new york city, part 2

on day two, katie took me to an amazing bagel shop in long island.

^and this is the bagel that changed my life. an everything bagel on egg with spinach and scallion cream cheese and a fried egg. it was also the biggest bagel i've ever had. which was perfect, considering we then proceeded to walk around new york enjoying all of the christmas decorations for the rest of the day and night.

^grand central station. for some reason, i thought it would be a good idea to walk 6+ miles in heels. well, i guess they weren't really heels. they were more like ankle boots with a little heel on them. so maybe i'm just a wimp or something. i mean, i was that embarrassing girl that was limping with every step and leaning on her friends. so we got to grand central station, and i looked at the floor and thought, "clean enough." and those shoes were off. i'm sure i then proceeded to look even more embarrassing than before. but hey, sometime's you gotta do what you gotta do. so i did. i took my shoes off. end of story.

^we also went to saint john of the divine cathedral. we missed the evening song, so just walked around and admired the beautiful building...and their really cool swan tree.

^and it snowed...it snowed!!!

 we finished off the weekend by visiting the momfuku milk bar.

snow outside, cookie in hand....it was magical. i've decided there should always be cookies when there's snow. always.

i got the cornflake marshmallow chocolate chip cookie, and i took a compost cookie home for scofield [butterscotch, chocolate, pretzels, potato chips...that's all in this cookie]. now the milk bar needs to come to greenville...i've decided that too.

welp, that just about wraps it up! now i'm just dreaming of going back, already listing out the places i didn't get to visit. see you again soon, new york!
