The city that never sleeps
Matt and I had the opportunity to go to New York City over the weekend, and with both of us needing to experience life at a different pace, we took advantage of it!
For me, it was the second time visiting NYC, and for him, it was the first. We felt compelled to make the trip after we learned that Matt's brother would be giving his first performance at Carnegie Hall, in the midst of working on a doctorate degree in piano performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
Can you imagine, performing a piano solo at Carnegie Hall?!? We wouldn't miss it for the world!
So, we packed our bags, got our fuzzy companion settled in at a puppy resort, and boarded the plane for New York City. It was a quick trip, in late Friday night and out by Monday afternoon, but we made the most of it.
In the two days that we spent in Manhattan, we visited the Museum of Modern Art, dined in Rockefeller Center, saw the Phantom of the Opera at The Majestic, traversed Times Square, met my cousin and his girlfriend for dinner followed by a show at the Comedy Cellar, took in a 3-hour-long concert in Carnegie Hall, strolled through Central Park and zipped to the top of the Empire State Building.
A New York Minute
While the pace of New York City was challenging, it was also surprisingly refreshing.
