A&J Take Manhattan: A Many Pictures Post

While I was on the East Coast, I decided to take a short trip to New York to see my good friend Jenny. {If you're new to this blog, or haven't been paying attention, Jenny and I met during our study abroad in London, and have been friends ever since.} 

I flew in Wednesday morning and flew out Friday afternoon. It was a quick trip, but we did tons of stuff. I am so happy I decided to fly up and see Jenny before leaving for Korea. 

Here is what we did: 

We took a walk in Central Park 




{Cleopatra's Needle- the other one is in London} 

We went to the Met- mainly to get out of the heat. 




{"The Engagement Ball" This used to be an apartment window}


{I don't remember what this is called, but it reminded me of Jud.} 


{Beautiful English Tea Set. Matt this is what I want for my birthday.} 


{Monet "Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lilies"}


{Monet "Water Lilies"} 


{Monet "The Houses of Parliament"} 


{Pissarro "Effect of Sunlight"}


{Japanese Tourists} 


{Van Gogh "Wheat Field with Cyprus"} 


{Van Gogh "Cypresses"} 



Wednesday night we had a picnic and watched Argo at the Chelsea Piers. {PS. The sandwich I had was the best I've had in a long time.} 




Ate New York style pizza 



Went to Serendipity and got the Frozzen Hot Chocolate 




Took the Subway 


Went to Times Square {Thanks Jenny for making the trip} 







Stopped at Herald Square 



Of course we hit up a few cupcake shops and ended the trip cuddling in bed watching Death at a Funeral. {The British version} 





Thanks Jenny for the wonderful trip. I had a great time and can't wait to see you in Korea... you are coming right?

  1. So many things struck me with this post:

    1. I kept waiting for the Japanese tourists when I was scrolling through all the art. So glad you captured that.

    2. Don't underestimate the deliciousness of a sketchy bodega sandwich.

    3. We really struggled looking at the right place at the camera when taking selfies, but I think we crushed it with the one in Times Square.

    4. SO HAPPY YOU CAME UP!!

    5. Korea better get ready for me.

    Love you, A Money!

    xoxo
