Finally a Doughnut Trip!

    After work yesterday one of the interns put together a lil shindig at his apartment. Yes, he is living in an apartment, not a dorm. He lived in the upper east side and was staying in his friends parent's place. The parents live in the Hamptons during the summer. The place was huge with a staircase, hardwood floors, and crown molding. We pretty much just hung out, talked and had some drinks. I took the subway home with my friend around 2:30 in the morning and even then the subway has a good amount of people. I have to say New York is a really safe city.   

    After deciding last second to stay in NY instead of NJ,  I made my way to Doughnut Plant. Of course, going there involved me switching trains and whenever that happens it means I have to get lost. Somehow I ended up in Brooklyn and was about 30 min late meeting Jenna. I spent about an hour trying to get to the Plant when if you really think about it, it's only 5 miles away from where I live. The hour trip made me put it more into perspective. It would be like me going from Yorktown to Richmond for a donut. 

         But, luckily the donuts were worth the trip. I got banana pecan and tres leche. The tres leche actually had a filling, but it was still in the shape of a normal donut. After the deliciousness, I walked around with Jenna through Chinatown and I finally saw the Brooklyn Bridge. I plan on walking it next week. 

 

      When I got back to midtown I walked down to 2nd ave. and saw there was a huge market going on. I got some nice nailpolish, kettlecorn, and cupcakes. Obviously the market had a lot of random stuff. 

      I went on a long run during the evening along the East River Greenway. It was so pretty running right along the water. There is so much to look at when you go on a run in NYC. There were dog parks, bikers, people flying kites, sightseeing tour boats, and crazy homeless people. Ohhhh New York.
