Snuggle With Me: South Street Seaport

I have got to admit that I'm darn useless and I think I'm suffering from mild hypothermia. It's freezing out there but serve me right, I chose the open air touristy bus seats in order to get a better view. I haven't quite learnt my lesson from yesterday and got myself frozen up all over again today. For two days, on my way back, I had to stop at Bloomingdale's which is just a block away to walk around in order for me to regain some body heat and hopefully my limbs won't freeze up again.

Was at South Street Seaport today. When I bought the online tickets for the Gray Line earlier this week, I thought the tour included my trip to Statue of Liberty so that's darn cool isn't it. Stupid me, when asked if I wanna do cruise or whatnot said, oh cruise, thinking that that's the Circle Line that brings me to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Within minutes of receiving my tickets, I came to realise that I have asked for the wrong trip. I could have told the lady but my skin is so thin, I just walked off. So i ended up paying another 12 bucks to get on the circle line which luckily, was minimal cost. Due to time constraints, I couldn't go on the cruise yesterday. So I took the whole Downtown Loop again to get to South Street Seaport and went on the cruise. So I actually got pretty close to our green lady in 2 days consecutively. I'm not that touristy!!! So I paid for 12 extra bucks to see the same thing all over again but this time, I couldn't get onto the island. Which is also a blessing because that gift shop just seem to encourage you to swipe your credit cards without thinking. Upon reaching South Street Seaport, I was reluctant to go on the cruise so I happily went for lunch a found A FOODCOURT. Anything below 10 bucks for lunch is cheap here I guess so managed to get myself what I reckon as decent lunch in New York. Sat down beside this Japanese girl, Yumi and we started a very long chat. Then I felt that she might have different preferences, what she might be Jem and Twiggy's kinda girl (if you know what I mean), so I made my grand exit and left for my cruise. All in all, I have met several single female travellers during this trip so it was kinda fun speaking to them. Over at the MET the other day, chatted with this girl, Kelly from Oregon, while waiting for coat check, was sweet enough to show me pictures of her trip.

Back to South Street Seaport, I saw Victoria's Secret!!! The candy looking stuffs were irresistable but I have got to pull myself back. Frankly, the choices there were limited so didn't get to buy alot. Yes, I did bought some. But I will find a bigger store to go crazy over. On my way back, I was so tempted to walk into Banana Republic. I know I'll go berserk in there so I restrained myself from stepping in. The dress in the display window - GORGEOUS! Oh and when I was trying to get my body temperature back to normal over at Bloomingdale's on Lexington Ave, I saw this absolutely beautiful, classy dress. I was thinking even if it's above what I'd pay for a very good dress, I might consider buying it. When I saw the price tag, I was horrified. I think it was 859 USD. Well, if the big one is in, I'll go swipe that one off my list. But knowing myself, I'd never muster enough courage to do that. Besides, I will have my BBK waiting for me when I finally get my car. Car before dresses. Car before shoes. Car before bags. I'm going nuts. I wish I could go all SHOES, BAGS, DRESSES, right about NOW! Spending money in New York can be so brainless. And I haven't even got to Macy's!!!

For you folks at home or whereever you are, here are some pictures from today...

The Brooklyn Bridge with Manhattan Bridge in the background.

This picture is solely for Breyton. See the entire piece of land, it's a major helipad. There were like 10 helis on it and it seems like it could take another 200 more. the 10 helis barely took up any space at all on the thing.
