So part of doing a long distance relationship is trying to find times to visit and make sure you both are still on the same page. It is obviously hard when so much is going on. So a quickly put together trip when opportunity arises is a common lifeline of a long distance relationship.
So after Erin keeps telling me how nice NYC was for the end of summer, I decided I should try my best to visit and see it. Unfortunately I arrived at the same time as a hurricane arrived on the east coast. At least it was kind enough to not delay any of my flights. The rain didn't seem to really slow us down to much.
Saturday we woke up and enjoyed a slow start, coffee in bed as well as a walk with Spot. Then we headed to the MOMA to see some art, specifically the Salvador Dali exhibit that was visiting at the time. That was fun, but we got soak by all the rain getting to and from the museum.
After cleaning up a bit, we headed out to get some Italian food. Unfortunately the place we wanted to try, wasn't really accessible. All the rain had flooded the street, and the restaurant was still open, but could only be accessed by walking through six inches or more of water. After hearing that we decided to call somewhere else that might be a little easier to visit for dinner. Sadly we ended up at Max SoHo, which while having good reviews turned out to be a terrible place to eat. The food was worse than Olive Garden, cost much more, and the service sucked.
Luckily by Sunday it seems all the weather had cleared up and we had an amazingly nice day on our hands. We headed to Central Park, since amazingly I had never seen it before. It was nice to see, and we found the Beer Garden (Tavern on the Green) which had some live music. Afterwords we tried a random Sushi place, which turned out to be awesome, and went home to watch a movie.
Overall it was an amazing time in NYC, even if I was only there for two quick days... My travel there and back sucked, but I guess I just have to blame the airlines for that, which I will write more about soon.

Hooray for quick NYC visits. It was so amazing to get to see you. Hooray for sitting in backyards, modern art, beer in gardens, and watching movies (even kind of bad ones). I am glad that you got to see some nice NYC weather (it is nice here sometimes, but especially when there isn't a hurricane.) Happy two and half years!
