General Discussion - August 11, 2017

My brother and sister visited me last weekend! It was a first time for my sister in NYC, and I think we managed to do a whole bunch of tourist shit while avoiding 90% of tourist shit by:

  • Getting wood-fired Italian pizza at Robertas on Friday night
  • Rainbow bagels Saturday morning (though this gave them a stomach ache for the morning, which, I did warn them about)
  • Wandered through Central Park Saturday afternoon, then got Shake Shack for lunch (since my sister isn't an adventurous eater yet, like I've slowly been converting my brother to be)
  • Visited the One World Trade Center observation deck late afternoon
  • Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge properly, without being obnoxious to any cyclists
  • Met up with some friends and hung out in my backyard, then got some German food from around the corner
  • Sunday was doughnuts from Dough, some shopping around SoHo, and then a brief walk through Times Square before dropping them off at La Guardia for their flights.

Ultimately I think saving Times Square for last was my best call, since you save the worst part of NYC for last. Either way, my sister said she had a good time and would visit again, which was ultimately the goal for the trip. Now I just gotta convince my dad to come visit.
