Night one in NYC

Our amazingly cheap flight was direct! Doesn't get better than that, folks!
Our car service was totally the soup nazi. Kasey followed the specific directions found on yelp and had all our info ready. The call was 20 seconds long with a crazy Asian woman, "What day? What time? What flight number? You have luggage? Ok you call me when you land. Click" Kasey got off the phone and said in a soup nazi voice, "next!". Hilarious and so true. Surprisingly, a car came for us and Bung Tung, our driver, was the sweetest guy who joked with us about the soup nazi dispatcher and the very accurate yelp reviews about her phone etiquette. 

Our hotel view at the UN New York hotel is nothing short of incredible. I can't even get half of the panoramic shot on my phone. Here are the Twin tower lights. 
The Empire State and Chrysler buildings. 

It was past 11 when we checked in, but being only 10pm Ar time, we opted to walk around the corner for late night sustenance. We found it at the macaroon and gelato bar. I bought the most heavenly $6 tub of fresh pineapple I've ever eaten in my life, and some $5 bottled water and pretzels and hummus. 

We walked a little further down to Duane Reade drug store and picked up some bottles of water and other essentials (candy). We found a lot of healthy "chips" for sale (dehydrated beets and sweet potatoes) and expressed our gratitude that the region of the good ole US if A where we live has offerings like bacon and Mac n cheese flavored Lays.  Cuz if you're gonna eat chips, eat some dang chips.  There were also a lot of cookies that aren't actually cookies. The ingredients listed in the back if these, for example, included "pressed barley" and "sprouts". Pass, folks. Go hit the macaroon bar and get yourself some real cookies, stuffed with Nutella to boot.
