I ❤ NY - Part I (Times Square & Subway)

Travel to NY from Portland requires a 6-hours flight and 3 hours jet lag, all the way from west to east.

Sipping my daily dose of caffeine at Portland airport. It was 6a.m. and I was literally sleepwalking.

They said, if you're lucky, you'll see three breathtaking snowy mountains while flying to the east. Chean saw them all while I was at sleep (but this picture only shows one :p). Needless to say, a lucky day was granted :D

Hello Jersey~~ I guess.

The awesome golf court I saw while landing at JFK (one of NY airports).

On the yellow cab, was heading to hotel.

I stayed at Time Hotel in Time Square, just right across Chicago Theatre Building. How A.W.E.S.O.M.E!
But we didn't get to watch any Broadway shows; we didn't have that luxury of time to do what typical tourists would do. Anyway, we used to live in NY and watched many many broadway shows before; this trip is solely for shopping and foods. That's all I wanted to do ;)
![NY10_roomno](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4028/4619003493_b08458548e_o.jpg)
Room 901.
![NY10_room1](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4011/4619003739_4593b2c51d_o.jpg)
Not spacious, and not even luxurious although this room cost us few hundred dollars per night.

But it's located at Times Square, and it's NY. I can live with that ^_________^

Times Square is all about neon lights, billboards, advertisements and crowds!!!
![NY10_timesquare2](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3367/4619003937_43c5189d49_o.jpg)
The sleepless city and me (I looked pretty sleepless too @.@).
![NY10_timesquare3](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/4619618456_877e392721_o.jpg)
SATC 2 movie billboards are everywhere.

Policemen here ride on horses, same as Portland. Don't ask cause I don't understand why either. But it's beyond cool to look at!

Uploaded this pic simply because I looked skinny in that. Haha :p

Take you to the subway now.
![NY10_subwaymap](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4032/4619618900_6a120401fe_o.jpg)
NY subway is as convenient as Hong Kong MTR. Who needs a car?

Busy walkway in the subway station.

New Yorkers are always on the run. I can live with that too ;)
![NY10_subway4](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4017/4619619200_45b4e217ea_o.jpg)
We were going to hunt for foodsssss :D

The train is here!!!

Chean on the train.

It's me!!! (FYI, I have no idea why those passengers next to me looks to desperate, perhaps it was late and they were tired, you tell me.)
![NY10_subway8](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4619005263_c6d523027e_o.jpg)
Hopped on another transit train.

Vain and stupid, I know. But it's NY, who cares? By the way, my hair is getting longer! Y.A.Y!!!
I'll bring some famous NY foods over for the next post. It's going to extra-yummylicious and beyond fabulous.
Tell me you love NY too ❤❤
Love,
Bev and the city
