Slowin' it down


GeoTagged, [N40.70495, E73.93267]

We left the Gug. in a flash and moved onto the closest starbucks. There we met up with Kristen and her friend Sarah so we could have some social interaction time. Of course while there we had to get coffee (note: we have been to like 10 starbucks and sat in at about 4, I am sure that isn't a surprise to most of you). Then it was hard to figure out what to do. After many a suggestions were thrown on the table, many of which were shot down, we decided on Rockefeller center and NBC store. Though I have to say these activities required a little bit of walking in the freezing air. It was quite windy and the farther we walked the closer I felt I would face a cold gutter death. Our party shuffled through the store quickly and then it was off to Hallo Berlin a German eatery that Kristen had wanted to try (yes they had Berlinerweiss, but I don't want to talk about it because they were out of the syrup mix so they couldn't make it). Good eats, moderate service, and great company made for a nice evening. Then it was our curtain call, back to the hostel. Thank goodness for this little Brooklyn Natural store near our hostel that seems to have everything including hot chocolate, mmmm, as Lisa said the light at the end of the tunnel.
