I love NYC! I've been several times with friends, and to visit other friends living there. My first trip was to visit Emilie and Kate in the summer of 2002. On my second trip, with Misty and Stacy, we were just outside of the Rockefeller center when the big Blackout of 2003 occurred. We had to hoof it all the way back to Brooklyn (11 miles, in heels, mind you), because traffic was a nightmare and the trains obviously weren't running because there was no electricity. It ended up being an incredible experience - when we got back to Brooklyn, we met up with our friends at a local bar, where candles kept the place lit up and neighbors provided live music with their guitars. I met people that night who had never see the stars in the sky from within the city before. Incredible! More recent trips include one to celebrate New Year's Eve '05, and a nice trip with Gina in December of 2005, where we stayed with a friend in the Trump Towers. While there, we went to a fantastic (and uber-trendy) Cuban restaurant, where we happened to meet "Bobby" from The Sopranos!
