Hey guys! I can't believe it, but while we were in NYC we checked off EVERYTHING we had on our to-do list! Every single thing. To prove it, I am going to share it with you:
1. Listen to random guys start softly (and badly) freestyle rapping on the subway multiple times and sit there passively with everyone else like it isn't happening.
2. Give some cash to a paranoid schizophrenic by the Washington Square Arch who asks if we have a Soundcloud account in order to listen to his music.
3. Observe a man covered in pigeons.
4. Watch two homeless people dance erratically and somewhat inappropriately while a guy plays Superstition on his electric guitar in a subway station while a hundred people stand there and avert their gaze like this happens every day and realize that you will never hear that song without thinking about this moment again.
5. See subway rats.
6. Get high fives from Jimmy Fallon and get really close to Glenn Close.
7. Spend an exorbitant amount of money on Hamilton tickets that you will be embarrassed to admit to anyone.
8. Get off at an unfamiliar subway station and get lost walking home in the dark in the rain.
9. Get asked if we like comedy and black people by aggressive men in Times Square.
10. Get stalled at the subway station for 17 minutes on the way home one night when my husband messes up swiping his metrocard and then spend that 17 minutes waiting to re-swipe avoiding a homeless man accosting strangers trying to use their cards to get onto the subway.
11. Get really excited about going to the Rockefeller tree lighting ceremony and then come to the realization that thousands of people will be there and avoid the area like the plague instead.
12. Have a soup nazi experience at a bagel shop on the upper west side within two hours of being in the city.
13. Hear a guy shout "GOOD FOR YOU" on the street in the most stereotypical New York accent imaginable.
14. Step in unidentifiable liquids in subway stations.
15. Witness a very loud and horrible family argument on the subway while sitting there looking forward like nothing is happening along with everyone else.
16. Buy the most expensive passes to the Museum of Natural History in order to "see all the special exhibits" inside and then realize very quickly that they aren't that exciting and also that they are made for seven year olds.
17. Try to order food or read anything in China town and feel the very real confusion that millions of people in our country feel all the time.
18. (On my husband's list) Get called "sexy guy" by a homeless woman on the street.
19. See a Subway within a subway and have a a very real Inception moment.
20. Hunt down filming locations from You've Got Mail and get sad seeing Kathleen Kelly's house looking rather dumpy now.
