Going to get a glimpse of what the everyday american life is like as if i'll get some insights never acquired by run of the mill journalists and thinkers. Trust me it's gonna be the new hipster thing
Botanical garden may be doable, ill take some selfies with the orchids just for you, if i made it there
MOMA was great. Funny enough, i enjoyed the classical work way more than the modern work, 90%of those werent that great
Chelasea market was good, but then again i fall in love with any shithole that sells fresh seafood and good wine

modern art is typically better at being polarizing than awe-inspiring. i felt the same way at phl museum of art

so i've left NY and gotten back, one tip for those of you travelling to/from the US - dont take united airline even if it's leagues cheaper. my package was a direct flight from hong kong to JFK via United, and the return was JFK-tokyo-hong kong via ANA and EVERYTHING about the flight was two ends of the spectrum. we actually felt cramped in the business class seats and mine was dirty, food was horrid and the screen at my seat just.. didn't work. luckily i loaded a whole season of house of cards onto my tablet before we left home so it didn't bother me, but can you imagine a 15 hour flight like that? but im just old man ranting now
hit up a few cool restaurants there.. Marea and blue hill were very good but pricey as hell, wolfgang's for some dry aged steak which are very good for their price, also went to chipotle/ red lobster/ lobster&burger (it's british yeah i know, never been anyway)/ dunkin donuts/ chick-fil-a/ five guys and holy fucking crap are their portions of food huge. how are they fitting for a human sized human?
if i ever move to manhattan i'd literally choose where to live based on its proximity to a trader joe's, i struggled to find healthy food for breakfast (need my proteins not sugars and carbs) and ended up buying salad and grilled chicken the day prior
i really liked the steam coming out of random potholes on the streets tho, so iconic
