It's been a while but last night I had one of those "I love NYC" moments. Those moments that remind you why you love this city despite the fact that it costs like a million dollars just to breathe the air here. Mind you, the air smells like a mix of urine and B.O. in the summer.
After class, Boo and I walked over to Hill Country Chicken and got some take out of fried chicken, biscuits, mac n cheese, and mashed potatoes. It was about ten bucks each. A pretty fair price for delicious food and artery cloggers. Then we walked over to Madison Square Park and sat on a bench while eating the most crispy fried chicken. We watched squirrels race eachother up trees. We saw a cute little Korean toddler make friends with an equally adorable blonde haired baby. We played I Spy. We saw dogs eating out of ice cream cups. And in front of us was a view of the Empire State Building and this amazing statue.

It's a reminder that you don't need fancy restaurants or tickets to the hottest show in town. You just need a bench and a good partner to hang out with.
However, if you gave me a million dollars, I would still take it yo.

That sounds so incredibly lovely. Makes me smile to read it.
I've been spending a lot of time hanging out on park benches this spring and summer (though, without the good partner to hang out with), and it has been a source of smiles during a rough few months.
When you come to nyc we should go there! nothing like great people and squirrel watching with good company! xoxo
