MLK Day

I had off today due to the holiday, so I decided to spend it by fulfilling a long-time goal: seeing Good Morning America!! (Random, I know). After only about 2.5 hours of sleep (L and I celebrated MLK Day in the East Village. Note to self and others: Bars entitled "The Library" are officially off limits) I made my way to 44th and Broadway at Times Square. The weather was probably the coldest it has been since I have been here, so there were not many people outside. I arrived shortly after 7:00 a.m. and one definitely does not need to get there any sooner. Most of the news was about the inauguration happening later this morning, so there were quite a few D.C. segments and fewer NYC segments than I think is usual.

This is one of the segments from today's episode, and I even made the cut!

Here are some photos from the day:









I was also able to do some shopping and exploring on my day off, hitting Times Square in the day, the Chelsea Market, the Meatpacking District, and the High Line:

I have learned quickly to stop into any shop, restaurant, deli, attraction, etc. the first time I go past, otherwise I'm never going to find it again. I think it is truly impossible to take the same route twice in this city!
