asked my new yorker friend

i've transcribed our conversation for your reading pleasure. parks: - Rockefeller park - Central Park, but not if you don't like crowds and are looking for a peaceful walk (you can also rent a bike nearby and ride it through the park) - not necessarily a park, but the Highline. used to be a railway, is now a place for gardening and walking. beautiful views, lovely walk. - Robert F. Wagner Jr. Park, river views, great for picnic - Battery Park, very zen place to be, suggest you go at dusk to see the sun set over the city skyline. you can also see the statue of liberty from there brunch: - Gee Whiz Diner, dope pancakes, bomb eggs benedict - Sarabeth's, stunning pancakes - Pick A Bagel, you can get any kind of bagel to go/to stay, absolutely delicious lunch/dinner: - Shake Shack, great burgers, best attraction is the fries, can't go wrong with fast food - Gee Whiz Diner, again, incredible grilled cheeses - Golden Unicorn, stunning Chinese cuisine, godly dumplings - Lombardi's, historic pizza place - Benihana, Japanese food, you get the chef cooking in front of you experience activities: - Museum of Natural History, if you are a fan of archeology/paleontology/or just science in general - South Street Seaport, occasionally there are seafood stands, but otherwise its a nice walk and a historic location - Pier 25, great minigolf, can also play volleyball here - If you like sports, Chelsea Piers, its also right by the Highline so you can kill two birds with one stone - if you have money and want to do some shopping, check out Williamsburg - take the ferry to Ellis Island, it stops at Liberty Island so you can still see the statute of liberty up close but you don't have to get off if you don't want to deal with the crowds. Plus Ellis Island is also pretty cool, you can search up if your relatives came through Ellis Island

nyc ideas!

i do think anyone visiting NYC for the first time should go to times square and a musical, empire state building etc just for the novelty of it, and here are some other things that may be fun! (also search “new york”/“nyc” on pi.fyi, i did it for “london” and found a lot of cool stuff!) - definitely go to moma or the met! also the guggenheim has an amazing jenny holzer exhibit on until sept 29. skip amnh! - NYPL Polonsky Exhibition - everything from the original winnie the pooh to a beautiful mini leaf-shaped Quran! (you could get coffee, go to the whitney then walk the high line and take the subway to the NYPL main branch for the exhibit!) - staten island ferry in the afternoon - to see the statue of liberty! however, do NOT go during rush hour (6-9:30AM and 3-8PM) it sucks for locals when tourists add to the crowd during that time and the boats will be crowded enough with commuters that the experience sucks for you also lol - picnic in central park! you could do lunch, or broad nosh bagels is like a block away from the 59th st station, sometimes if i’m around in the morning, i get breakfast from there and eat it in the park. at least have a bagel at some point - cool bookstores: the strand, p&t knitwear, housing works (soho) enjoy your visit!! :)

This moment in time will not always be

I think the biggest thing my therapist helped me realize is that moments that are tough or seasons of your life that seem impossible will not last forever. It is not about sitting in the struggle but understanding how to effectively work through it.

don't take it for granted

accept the love that is presented to you and do not run away from it, each opportunity to hang is a bid for connection, take them in stride and with open arms
