Travelogue: New York City, Day 3

Day 3 passed too quickly but it was good fun. We started the day at a good time. Headed down to Spring Street, Wall Street and Times Square, ended the day at East Villge. Christmas in New York City is like a dream come true. With my favourite boy, in my most favourite city on earth. How much more can I ask for right?

Play this song through. It will bring you some christmas cheer. I know Christmas is over and I’m quite laggy with my updates but looking at these pictures again, and listening to the carols just make me wish that Christmas would come all over again once more.

I love Christmas so much. Keeping close with those dear at heart in the winter cold! Jon said that our red couple mittens that we share remind him most of our trip.



400 broome street. my apartment last last summer. it was so nostalgic. almost wanted to run inside as if i was still staying there.

the familiarity is just killing me.


stopped by for lunch at the nonya place. jon had to fill his cravings for some good local delights. the chinese food in seattle is not thattt local. it’s mainly sweet and sour pork/chicken/fish. Think it may be hard to find some good wanton noodles/chicken rice/char kuay teow/roti prata here. thankfully we could get that in new york city.


as we were really close by to Little Italy, we stopped by for some canoli. its supposedly very famous.

jon was too full from lunch so i enjoyed this alone. I always have space for deserts.

walked through canal street and took the subway down to wall street.





the famous bull in wall street






the statue of liberty from a distance




met bryant later at times square. he said, ‘lets meet at the top of the red stairs!” and i knew just exactly where that would be. I was squealing in excitement the moment I stepped out of the subway station. The bright lights, the crowd, the buskers, it was just so times square. Walking through the crowd brought back extremely fond memories. And oh, about the red stairs.. that was excatly where huixiang, kelvin, mich, mike and the bunch of us sat through the night just before leaving New York City. We were overwhelmed with extreme sadness then, realizing that it was our last day there.


and yay finally spotted bryant. I was actually screaming at the top of my head, “BRYANTTTTTTTT!” and suddenly this crazy fella ran towards me with a big hug. OMG I SCREAMED.
He actually spotted Jon beforehand but told my fav boy to keep silent.

as it was close to dinner, we decided to stop by Junior’s for cheesecake.


it was extremely sinful but oh soooo soooo good. American size serving for sure.


Headed to East Village after that for some good Japanese food with Jon’s friends.

That was my Christmas. Simple and memorable.
Opened presents in the hotel room, and my fav boy got me a bag from Kate Spade! We actually recorded a video of us opening presents for our own keep sake. Watched it over and over again but I think I shouldn’t upload it here. It’s nice to just re-watch these videos we’ve taken in our free time

I’m halfway through my travelogue for my New York City trip!
Still ways to go because Mexico and Seattle follow.

My last day in Seattle tomorrow. Back in Singapore the day after. Boo.

With Love,
Mel
