NYC- Part I

Im sitting here at the Ritz with the statue of liberty right outside my window. Does it get much better? I dont think so.

I havent even been here 24 hours, and its already been so memorable. Im staying at the southern most point of manhattan, so i had to tackle the subway to get anywhere. Once that happened, I was able to make my way uptown to meet my college bud Morgan at the amazing Gramery Tavern which her husband manages. Arrival time: 4:30pm. Depature time: midnight. We sat at the bar and caught up for over 7 hours! All the while, we drank amazing wine and ate even more amazing food. There were so many characters around us to join in the fun. I wont be able to experience much of NYC while im here, but I feel like I got a small glimpse of the people here by just sitting at that bar. Today im (suppose to be) in a conference all day, but im taking a computer break. Im only like 3 block from the NY stock exchange and am just dying to get over there. We get done an hour before the market closes, so I might be able to make it. Tonight, I travel uptown again to Madison Square Gardens to see my Crimson Tide play in the Finals for the NIT tournament. I'm also meeting more BSC alum friends in the process. Part II to follow! Roll Tide!
