my first week in new york was spent with andrea for the college music festival. we loved this restaurant so much we went there the next night too. new york was warm and beautiful. it felt weird being there knowing that i was staying. i've always spent time in new york, so it is exciting to be grounded there for a bit.
|

we stayed in a nice hotel with some great views.
