i love you lady liberty

i love waking up in the morning and hearing the cars on the streets and the people singing and talking on the streets below. i love listening to the pigeons on the window seal as i get ready in the morning. i like sitting on the subway in the morning just thinking about the day ahead and enjoying people watching at it's finest. i love walking up the subway stairs in union square and seeing the city all a buzz.

last sunday, marissa and i took the staten island ferry. seeing the city from the view was so breathtaking. the whole time i couldn't get over how excited and lucky i felt to be calling this place home for the next couple of months. the best thing about the ferry is you don't have to pay a dime. the ferry has definately been added to my favorite things i have done in new york. i want to go back when the sun is shining and perhaps take some time to explore staten island.

afterwards, marissa and i went and explored the chinatown and little italy. although the little italy restaurants were tempting, we decided we would come back another night. but we couldn't resist the cannolis. the chocolate ones are the way to go.
