Living so close to New York, you'd think I'd take every chance I get to go visit the greatest city on earth. Alas, no, I went once, and that was last Saturday. My british friends Zoe and Tom and I got up, took the 6:30 am bus there and the 11:30 pm bus.

That's a total of 13 hours we had in NYC. Heaven.

Tom wanted to see the city so we did a crash course in NYC tourism. Our itinerary goes as follows.

Topshop, scoop, canal street, little Italy (including a mini-lunch at a cafe), central park, plaza hotel, apple store, fao schwartz, Bendels, Tiffany's, St. Patricks Cathedral (maybe that's what it's called, I'm not really sure), Rockafeller Center, NBC store, Magnolia Bakery, Times Square, Dinner at starlight diner, M&M place, times square (again), sephora, toys 'r us, brooklyn bridge, stock exchange, bryant park/NYPL.

Phew.

We did this ALL in one day.

Here's proof:
