So our first real day in NY was kind of dampened by the remnants of tropical storm Andrea. We started the day visiting the 911 museum which, in a similar vain to the holocaust museum, was pretty emotional and worth the visit.
From there we tried to make our way to the Bodies exhibit but it was closed. Grabbed a coffee and snack from a diner, then off to the Pulse exhibition which is similar to the Bodies exhibit (plastic injected body cutouts) but located further away. Was also worth the visit. On Nugens recommendation we went to shake shack and had a peanut shake with burger. Classic American cuisine, delicious but heart stopping. Jackie and I both reported our mouths acting strangely post meal; probably our tongues having a minor sugar fit.
From there we made our way to NBC studio at the Rockefeller building but the tours were all booked out, so we went up to do the view from the top of the building but the weather meant no visibility. Caught the metro to BH photo video to do some shopping but it was closed (closes at 2pm on a Friday, my guess is its probably Jewish owned). Hit up h and m for some retail therapy, but the wind and rain was pretty terrible and we were both soaked so we decided to head home. Grabbed some nice dumplings from a Chinese place near us in the howling storm (getting soaked again) and headed home to shelter from the storm in front of our TV.
Turns out even with NY's great subway system you need decent weather to enjoy it. Here's hoping things improve tomorrow.
