When I went I forgot to visit the Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, with its Unisphere and other attractions from the 1939 World's Fair. It's on my to-visit list for the future.
I loved Coney Island and riding a bike through the East River bridges.
Sitting in the 24/7 library on campus. There is a great quote from some financial benefactor, who no doubt gave a pretty penny to help get this place built, about the synergy between a person and a book, the person and the light, the person and the chair, etc. I'm sure they were aghast when the university built a monstrosity that looks more like the Apple Store instead of a library. All of the chairs look like Ikea stock that has been rolling around loose in the back of a truck. Theanine and caffeine is such a good combination.
Regardless, I need to finish these two assignments before Friday so I can enjoy the trip to New York in peace. Will be staying with two friends in the Garment District and it will be my first time in the USA. Does anyone have any suggestions? We have a long list of sights we'd like to see, so we already have all of the museums on the agenda. Any lesser known spots that would be worth seeing for a 5 day trip in Manhattan or elsewhere in the city?
I would feel like writing much more if I didn't feel guilty about using these precious hours on something unrelated to the remaining two assignments. Oh well, at least I have New York to look forward to. I do wish I could take my gf, but hopefully there will be plenty of time for that yet.
