South Street Seaport

A while ago I told you about my friends and I going on weekly adventures during our breaks in between classes. Unfortunately the weather and then our actual school work prevented us from exploring as much as we would have liked. But this week we refused to let anything get in our way, especially with the beautiful weather and the city at our fingertips. So today we took the 3 downtown to the South Street Seaport, something I've been wanting to do for quite some time. (I've only been there once before.) Personally I think the Seaport is one of the most underrated places in the city. I absolutely love it there. Everything from the cobblestone streets to the waterfront view with the Brooklyn Bridge in the distance. It wasn't crowded or full of tourists. It was perfect. We had so much fun walking around, talking, shopping (I got an new pair of flats from J. Crew!), and basking in the sun. We even bought matching friendship bracelets. Super cute. We only got to stay for a little but I can't wait to go back there again. 

Adventureeeee Is Out There!

Going to school in the heart of New York City surely has its benefits. This being said, I have never taken advantage of the fact that I'm in the city almost every day of week. With such a demanding school semester I never thought it would be possible to explore the city and find hidden treasures, but then my friends and I decided it was a must. So we declared every Tuesday our day of adventure. Every week we've been going to different places in the city. I think my New Year's resolution of taking more photographs is going to be fulfilled now. I plan to document our travels (as is my friend, here) every week so you can see what we're doing and what we've discovered. We've already taken quite a few trips including a Valentine's Day lunch at Max Brenner's in Union Square, celebrating the Giants winning the Super Bowl at the parade down by City Hall, a little window-shopping trip in SoHo and most recently our trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Personally I love when our adventures involve stopping to eat. Last week we went to New York Burger Co. and after, this little bakery that sold macaroons and decadent tarts. Both places were adorable! And delicious, of course! Seriously, I could eat cheeseburgers every single day. Definitely my weakness. Here's a few photos I took with Instagram...
