My last days in New York have been a busy last few days. Naturally, I went to another house party thrown by one of my dozens of cousins from Med. school. There were board games with alcohol as the gain or win, a live band and all-in-all a great night and morning. We didn’t get any sleep basically, so most of my cousins and I ended up at brunch where the mimosas flow from a fountain (kidding), but alcohol was par for the course.

I spent the rest of the day checking out Brooklyn; I really went there to eat at this very famous pizza place, but the long queue did not seem appetizing. I walked all the way across Brooklyn Bridge, which gave me a stunning view of New York City. I ended up in the artsy part of town, Soho I think, the place where they converted all the dilapidated warehouses into galleries and art studios. Then, I walked into what seemed not a so safe area, wasn’t sure, but I definitely felt like I didn’t want to stand out as a tourist. It was a great day anyway, and I had a great experience in Brooklyn.

That night I got to see Avenue Q, an off Broadway play at this really nice theater venue called New Stages. I got a great deal on my Broadway tickets on-line, click here if you’d like to get great prices too! The venue is a collection of some pretty small stages, almost black-box really, where you almost feel like you’re a part of the play going on. I liked Avenue Q, it was funny, relevant and quotable.

My last day was spent at the American Museum of Natural History. The exhibits were interesting and imaginative, but it was the planetarium that really blew me away. Finally, it was time to head home. I’ll miss my cousins, but now it’s time for them to come to California to visit me.
