I didn't exactly get the best welcome weather, so I was a little nervous that it might be symbolic of the coming months...
But as soon as the week's touristy adventures began, I was assured that darkness and gloom would not be in the cards for me this summer, regardless of the weather.
Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Battery Park. Audio tours and all.
Magnolia Bakery and the most delicious cupcake I've ever had. Apparently there are better places around, but I'm not a local yet, so we stuck to the "touristiest" places in town since I only had a week of it before real life began.
We paid a smelly guy to bike us around Central Park (which I am obsessed with) and it was the most beautiful day and the most beautiful park I've ever seen. The biker guy took us the wrong way through a car-only road and we had about 10 cars piling up behind us, honking and getting ticked. Haha, quite the mini-adventure.
The Metropolitan Museum: a must-see... I could spend months in here.
Broadway play, of course. Fun, but a little disappointing since casts in San Diego could have shown this cast up in a heartbeat. Still fun, though.
Top of the Empire State Building at 1am. After an hour and a half of waiting in line and twenty dollars admission for each of us, we felt a little ripped, but it was beautiful, and now I can say I've done it, so [once I got a little sleep] I was glad we did it.
We fit tons of other stuff in, but I'd say these were the touristy highlights. Shopping of course made the list of to-do's for the week, So-ho being my favorite of all.

Mary Poppins is great (30 bucks great!) also check out shake shack (madison square park one) and if you love central park there is a little food place by the baseball fields that has FABULOUS grilled cheese. i will think of more soon.
