nyc explorer


it rained some. so much for fall. i enjoyed the central park but i was missing the nature. i left the island a few times. once to long island to go to a haunted corn maze. sounds cheesy but it was a blast. the best part was trying to find matt because he ran through the whole thing then scaring matts wife miho. shes cute small and japanese! 


i enjoyed very much meeting so many different people from so many different places. i worked at the movie theater on union square, i was meeting people from all over the place. i loved talking with scandinavians because i got to speak norwegian to them. it always made my day. i try and learn as many languages as i can. even if its just hi and thank you. i got to meet a lot of the world in one city. 



i went on a lot of lonely walks. taking the train up to harlem and walking back down. i stopped in at saint johns cathedral. its huge! and central park. also huge. the architecture of the city is an amazing art alone. its very fun, fun indeed. 





i got to spend some time with folks from my work. new yorkers! they were super rad and nice to me. i was acting like such a nerd. i wanted to experience what all of the movies have been showing me since i was a kid. glamorous new york! i wanted to be eating at the dirty beat dives with the best food. living this new york hipster life. i come to find im not really cut out for it. i went with my friends to the mall in queens at ate bourbon chicken at the food court. it was wonderful. life is the same everywhere and anywhere. its still america. so i went back to the streets and took pictures of doors.





i created my own new york dream. i ate at veselkas, a twenty four seven ukrainian restaurant on ninth. they have the best chocolate custard and warm apple cider. i went there for comfort. also i become more of a fan of corporate mcdonalds and starbucks. theyre pretty cool and consistent. good comfort as well.
