Day 211

So tired… Went to bed last night around 2 am. I’m here again at 1:49 am typing my day! And we got up around 7 am this morning to see Lady Liberty. Now, I will say that there was a great 2 hour nap today. 🙂

Day 209

I took over 300 photos today. Here’s what most of them looked like:

My New Favorite Store - Uniglo

I was comp shopping for work… I hit 3 major districts and probably about 30 – 40 stores. I was quick! But it was so much fun. My new favorites… both Japanese (hmmm…)  Uniglo and Muji!

Here are some other shots along the way… Macy’s in Herlard Square (34th St!):

The Original Macy's - 34th Street

Central Park!! A view as I came up from the Subway.

Day 208

WTC Memorial…

In memory of...

Memorial and Construction

Long day today… But it was GREAT!

– Caught the subway and a bus to New Jersey for work… Saved the company $80. 🙂

– Did “guest insight” work in a new Target test. So. Much. Fun. Yes, I’m a nerd.

– Dinner at Corner Bistro… it was a corner, small… cash only with an extremely narrow menu (hamburger or cheeseburger?)… but great.

– Subway … hey, why don’t I stop at the WTC? It was one stop away from the hotel. I’m glad that I did. They are doing construction around the clock. You can’t really see much with the fence up and covered. But you can hear it, see the cranes and a TON of workers. Then I stumbled on this memorial. It was beautiful.

– Hours of email and fun. 🙂 Off to read and then bed. Tomorrow… COMP SHOP!
