The City

All my live i have basically been restricted to Long Island.  This weekend i had to go to Little Italy for an class assignment in DNY.  We did not go on as a class so i was on my own and i had no idea what i was doing.  I decided to take my girlfriend, Christina, with me into the city.  She too has grown up with a sheltered Long Island life.  Neither of us knew anything about the city and it was not such an easy thing to figure out.  We got on a train leaving from Garden City, Long Island at 8:05am and we were in the city soon after. We got off at Penn station and we had to take a subway to get to Little Italy.  Out of the billion different trains we had to find the right one to take.  There were no people there to ask questions so we were stuck looking at the subway map by ourselves for a while before we even figured out how to read it and then we figured out what train to take.  We took it down to canal street and were awed by all of the vendors there.  So much shitty, knock off merchandise all in one spot.  Then we headed toward little italy and had some lunch.  it was delicious. at this point we decided we wanted to see the museum of natural history for some reason. we did know that it was uptown so we started walking.  we got all the way to 17th street before we realized that we should just take the subway. so we got on the subway once again and headed uptown.  we popped out on the east side and then realized the museum was on the other side of central park.  After a nice long walk we arrived at the museum.  it wasnt so hot. after 2 hours at the museum we got some dinner and then went to a cafe. at this point both of us were dead so we headed towards the subway for the last time and took it to penn and then we went home.  after this trip i was ridiculously tired.  it was an amazing trip and i had a great time and i really felt like i learned something.  next time we go on, which should be soon because it was an awesome trip, we will know what we are doing and have a better gameplan.
