Lower East Side Adventure

I'm happy to say I have made some amazing friends while here in NYC. Katrina, who is interning at 2 dance companies here in New York (I know right, frickin' awesome!), and myself love to go on our adventures to find the extremely cheap or free entertainment. She calls it "extreme couponing", I can't help but laugh.

We recently took a subway to the Lower East Side to catch a street performance. The sky promised rain but since it didn't hit yet we hoped for the best and continued on. On our way we stopped at this adorable little coffee shop called, "Think Coffee". How can you just NOT stop there? Katrina got this cappuccino and they did something amazing with the foam <3

Everywhere we turned there was something unique and fun about this neighborhood. I immediately stopped in my tracks when I came across this little garden and wall that was literally right next to it. Katrina was amazingly patient as I clicked away.

 

Finally we made it to the street where they were having the performances. It began to drizzle a little but nothing to pull you inside to seek shelter. The dancers had just began to get into their places to start. It was a very interesting performance. Very modern and "funky" as Katrina put it. More like a story being told through this interpretive dance.

Then right as the next set of artist were to begin the heavens opened and the rain began to fall. I have to say, getting used to all this rain up here has been a little strange. Coming from Texas I am used to the dry 100+ degree heat. On more than one occasion I have had to grab a jacket because I was, yep, "COLD!". Which is very weird to say in the middle of June.

We took shelter inside the theatre to use the RR and roam around for a bit before we decided to just face the rain and explore.

There was one street lined with the sweetest little boutiques. Dusty Buttons and Pink Olive were just 2 of the several we stopped in to visit. Just look at how cute they are!

I could have died when I saw all these old school cameras, and then I did DIE when she told me that these on the shelf actually work! Unfortunately they were a little out of my budget, but there were still nice to admire.

You have to love Vintage <3

I think I could rock this look, don't you think?

"I have found getting lost in New York is one of my favorite past times. "

Stumbling across little boutiques, shops, and spots like these are what make New York, New York. There is always a hidden park, vintage shop, or perfect little coffee shop you can visit to submerge yourself in. I literally melt when I walk into a new place and breathe in the unfamiliar air. It consumes you and overpowers you in all the good ways. It is like a little accomplishment every time you find a new undiscovered trinket. 

It is as though it has just been sitting there, waiting for you to find it... and in all places, New York City.

Outfit of the Day - Museums & Movies

This isn't really that great of an image but you get the idea. I got this idea for the outfit from the street fashions of New York and Polyvore.

Denim shorts with black lace tights, flats from Old Navy; a white tank-top from H&M along with my Navy blue cardigan from American Eagle. Jewlery and Sunglasses from H&M also. 

Outfit of the Day - Off to the Museum

White blouse: H&M, White Tooth necklace and earrings: H&M, Bag: Books-A-Million, Jeggings: Khols, Flats: Old Navy (?)

I was wearing brown slacks for work but once I got off I changed into jeans for the museum trip.

Settling In

It is amazing how much there is to share when it has only been a few days. 

Hope you don't mind the LONG blog post. I will try to break it into 2 different posts :)

Okay so the weekend was pretty great. Not much happened but it was a great way to get settled in and meet new people.

Above: Room-mate, Jonee, and I outside of Bed, Bath, & Beyond waiting on our group

The thing I love most about NY is there is something on EVERY corner just waiting to be found. For someone who has never been this is very exciting. Jonee and I decided on Saturday we would take a trip to our internships so we would know how to get there come Monday.

On our way here are a few places we just happen to "run into".

Above: I don't think I need a caption for this one.

Above: Yep, that is Times Square in the distance. We didn't walk down there though, too tired and wanted to save it for another time.

Above: We just passed by Radio City :)

One thing though, I knew in advance that the "northerners" don't appreciate the Dr. Pepper as much as some southerners... However... I found one store that sells DP (Thank God!).

Can you spot the DP?

Sunday I was able to attend church at Times Square Church. It was such a BEAUTIFUL building! Doesn't look like much on the outside, but once you step inside it is as though you have stepped into the Phantom of the Opera. I have expected for a masked man in a cape to carry me off to his dungeon somewhere. 

You can see above just a little of the crown molding but this doesn't do it justice. I only hope I can go back this coming Sunday to get more pictures. There were marble stairs and pillars with paintings on the ceiling. Good grief it was a beautiful place.

Going to and from church I had to take a 5 block detour due to the "Celebrate Israel Parade" that was going on. It crossed my path on 5th street and I understood quickly how people get stuck places. It was nice to see though, I found myself getting distracted by the parade. So many people, so many yarmulkes!

I love that about the city. There is SOOO much culture here. Music, Theatre, Food, Languages, Dancing... 

I have always loved to travel to experience various cultures. I hope I will be able to travel all over the world in the future. Break bread with different people in different countries, learn about their way of life. It is so similar yet so different. Aren't you just fascinated by it all? It is amazing how we are all the same, yet we live differently and speak differently in different parts on this Earth. 

Anyways... I have MUCH more to share with you; bear with me as I download the images etc. 

Thanks again for taking the time to read this crazy blog. I hope you are still enjoying it!

Love!
