It only took us 6 years to drive the 3 hours to NYC. In fact, if we hadn't been double checking everything off of our "While we're still here in Maryland Wanderlust Wishlist", we wouldn't have even thought twice about missing it. Seriously, New York is terrific if you're going to a show (we weren't), have a lot of money to spend (we didn't), or have any idea where you're going or a purpose for going there (we had zip). However, if you love Chicago (we do), are in a rush thinking about moving (we were) and have a wandering mind (that's us), New York feels like a 'been there, done that, ooh what was that?!' The sprinkling of flora amidst the metal and cement whispered sweet oxygen through the heavy, thick air. Climbing to the top of a department store just for a shot of the skyline. As opposed to the statue of liberty, we opted forcupcakeries, The Big Gay Ice Cream Shop (because....unicorns) and the Met. So, after a 4 hour visit (that's about 11 hours total--7 hours driving to and from), we checked off the Big Apple from our Wishlist..... only to add it again to our new one.
