85

Hello! I just returned from visiting New York for part of Spring Break and am pooped out. On Saturday, I flew out of Detroit into Philly, where missed my connection to New York. I was stranded at Philly International for 8 hours! It was horrible. And very boring.

I spent a few days in New York, staying with a friend near the Columbia University campus. On my second day there, my friend and I went to the Brooklyn Flea. The flea market's held in an old bank! If you go to the basement, the vault doors are still there. I didn't buy anything, though I did see three pairs of shoes that I wanted. But I just couldn't bring myself to buy worn shoes. You can wash a sweater or shirt...shoes, not so much.

I got my lunch at the Brooklyn Flea; in the Vault, there's an eating area set up. I got a grilled cheese sandwich (classic with a twist) from the Milk Truck table. I'm usually not a fan of grilled cheese, but I just had to try the Milk Truck grilled cheese since I've heard and read so much about it.

A couple of my housemates were in New York when I was there, and I met up with one of them a few times for lunch, dinner, and a show at the Metropolitan Opera. I fell asleep at the Met Opera.

I didn't bring my camera, so I don't have photos of my NY visit to share, but here is a photo from the Brooklyn Flea website.
