Topic: NYC, DC, The Cure - Radio City Music Hall

*I came back from NYC / DC a week ago. It was fun but I think I'm done going to the east coast for awhile. Here is a quick run through of what Darth and I did.

*NYC: (day 1) Financial district, Wall Street,

Battery Park,
watching people line up to go to the Statue of Liberty, trying to find DUMBO or the hip trendy part of Williamsburg (never did), Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge, Chinatown for some cheap food.

(day2) Carney Deli, hanging out in Central Park,


MET which is a kick arse museum, Superheroes exhibit at the MET, Spamalot which is so funny and a great production,

random bar to meet up with one of Darth's old friends and coworkers, The Cure was playing at Madison Square Garden and I REALLY REALLY wanted to go but since it was Darth's birthday I didn't. (insert sad face here), however a friend of mine did go and we met up with him later so he could tell me ALL ABOUT the show while we were eating.

(day 3) SOHO, Little Italy, Peanut Butter & Co., NYU, The Cure at Radio City Music Hall !!!,
realizing east coast fans are a scary mix of normal and bad bridge and tunnel people, walking around Time Square, eating good pizza at Ray's.

(day 4) long but cheap bus ride to DC, met up with our friend Jim for dinner at Old Glory in Georgetown, decided to go catch Kung Fu Panda.

(day 5) The National Archives where you can see the Charters of Freedom (Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights), Five Guys burger, Jefferson memorial,

Franklin Delano Roosevelt memorial, walking around the tidal basin,

had some dinner at RFD (Regional Food & Drink) in Chinatown, this place is cool because of all the beer they had.

(day 6) National Portrait Gallery (this place is cool), ate at RFD again for some happy hour with Jim, had a great apple beer, Nationals vs. Angels Game,
seeing the monuments at night.

(day 7) walked the Mall, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Hirshhorn museum and sculpture garden, then it was on to home :)
