New york

The big apple! The center of the world! The bad ass city 

Maybe

But definitely not my cup of tea

NYC felt like Toronto only bigger, dirtier , busier and definitely out of control.

We spent the first day walking aroubd exploring the city.

Times square was soo crowded and walking around was hard! It felt like hajj to me! Didnt likr the idea of being squeezed within the crowds or not being able to browse the stores because of the crowds! Hated the waiting list in every restuarant in times square and definitely my major turn off was the unfriendliness of peopls here N how everyone is rushing around.

I knew from the start that i wont like it but i thought id give it a chance

I can see why alot of people might like it but definitely not my thing

If living in toronto made me depressed then definitely ill commit suicide if i had to move to NYC.

I loved how you dont pay tax if your purchases are below 110 dollars 

Highlights of day 1 :

Times square : overrated

Wholefood's in NYC: GIGANTIC AND IMPRESSIVE. Loved it

Finally!! Tried chobani!!! It is really yummy!! I dont know why they stopped importing it into canada

Trader Joe's: finally been to one. Absolutely loved the variety n the healthy options of its product! I wish we had TJ in Canada!! *thumbs up*

Highlights of day 2:

Walked around the city.

Been to grand central station who felt like union station in TO only bigger

Walked around 5th avenue . so a street full of high end stores n brands! Whata the big deal? 

Macy's: it was my sister"s idea! Just another department store

Junior's cheese cake: a nice cheese cake store with so many variation! Their cheese cake felt as good as the cheese cake factory if u thought cheese cake factor is good.

Although ive been eating clean n made a commitment not to ruin it but i did n so far, i regret it! Nothing wow-ish here lol! Again, maybe coz we have similar dinning experience in to?

Never the less, i did try most of what people recommended but i wasnt impressed lol

I had the street food/ halal kart food! I had falafal n gyros from the halal guys n it was absolutely disgusting!! The sandwich was filled with mayo that it made me wanna puke after a few bites! Maybe because im not a big fan of mayo? But i was disappointed but i dont regret the experience! These karts are as common as starbucks in NYC so we had to try it

However, i did enjoy something! Its the portobello empanadas from nuchas food cart at times square! It was pricey! 3 dollars for a mini empanadas but they were REALLY good!! Loved em!!!

By the 2nd day, i was still not impressed by NYC! Maybe because i live in a busy city too, toronto is bot as busy as NYC but its still busier than alot of cities with skyscrapers and stuff or maybe because ive never been a fan of busy cities and stuff.
