Back from NYC

So, I have ventured to, and returned from New York City with my girlfriend. It was an awesome time. We had some great food including authentic Peking Duck at (I shit you not) New Big Wang Restaurant [images.google.com]. This isn't the stuff you get from your local Chinese delivery place; this is awesomely tasteful, freshly made, authentic rolls, Peking duck. We were still talking about this duck on the ride home the next day.
We also saw a performance of the Blue Man Group [blueman.com]. I have seen them before in Germany (in German), but my girl had not seen it, and I wanted to see it again. I was dissapointed at the size of the theater. It could only hold about 300 people maximum, and the rows were only about 16 people wide. The stage was also very limited in size. They defidently filled the room with the performance though. It was an awesome show.
We stayed the night at a hostle. That was... Interesting. It really had the bare minimums. The room had a bed, cieling light, and TV. We shared two bathrooms with the floor. It was good though, we didn't spend that much time in the room.
I would put a picture with this, but most of the fun was just the experience.
