"explore, wander, get lost, find yourself, and lose yourself again!!"
-Xian

Thats what Christian told me to do while in New York..and its exactly what i did. My mom and I decided to take a little mother daughter trip since my brother wasn’t able to take the time off and our spring breaks did not align. Ive been looking forward to this trip for a while because we’ve been to NYC numerous times however never really got to see everything worth seeing. We weren't able to get internet at the hotel because it was down or something..so ill be posting up the blogs separately so i dont just post one big ass long one. enjoy!

DAY1
We left SFO Saturday night, a red eye flight. Arrived at JFK Sunday morning about 7am eastern time. My uncle from New Jersey picked us up and brought us back to his place. The two guys of our OG summer family came out to have breakfast with us. We ate at this really high end Filipino restaurant that actually cooked us breakfast like we would normally do at home- garlic fried rice, tocino, longonica, tapas, and some fish. Haha. However probably expensive, it was good. We hung out at the house for a while then proceeded to go to Woodbury Common Outlets in New York- about an hour away from New Jersey. It’s the same company as our Gilroy outlets however, HEAVEN for the ultimate shopper. They had shops like Doir, Chanel, Gucci, Lacoste, Jimmy Choo, Prada, etc. Pretty much any high end fashion was there….and I was in heaven. Although I didn’t buy much because really it was my first day and I wasn’t going to use up all my money there. I ended up going back home with $30 worth of half off clothes from FCUK. We ate some Chinese food, said bye to the guys, and my uncle bought us to our hotel in NYC.

Our hotel, the Milford Plaza, was in the heart of Broadway literally right next to all the main theaters and about a block away from Time Square. Nice little cozy 2 twin bed room. Across the street were so many places to eat, little shopping, and even a Junior’s restaurant. Juniors was based in Brooklyn and has one of the best cheesecakes ever. We were dead tired, so we unpacked, and ended our day there.
