"coach, louis vuitton, messenger bags, stolen sh*t!"

that's what we heard in times square from a guy selling hocked purses today. we all laughed for almost a block.

this morning, we woke up and walked to a bagel shop near our hotel. best bagel i've ever had. the thing was bigger than my face. then chan and i walked to the 23rd street station to catch a train to the met while liz and kristan walked to the 24th street station to go to times square.

the met. the metropolitan museum of art. dali. picasso. pisarro. monet. cezanne. chagall. van gogh. degas. miro. it was stunning. i saw everything i wanted to see and more. even the building was a work of art. the french rooms were stunning.

after that, we grabbed a real new york hot dog and scoped out central park. it was really beautiful and great to have seen. we walked to the strawberry fields memorial to john lennon, and then walked past the hotel where he was killed. then we went to a starbucks to wait for kristan and elizabeth. after we met back up, we headed to 5th avenue to window shop. i was too intimidated and uninterested to go into the stores...except the nike store where i fell in love with a pair of shoes...but i didn't get them.

we decided tonight would be a good night for a cheap meal, so we went to mcdonald's in times square for dinner. we were all totally exhausted after that, so we came back to the hotel. currently i'm looking out the window into the loft next door and wishing i had their apartment/life in general. and thinking about how much i don't want to wake up at four a.m. to get on the today show. but how i kind of want to.

boston tomorrow. check out random pics from today.
