    Photos of our adventures in the city that does not sleep. DSC01563

    First time taking the subways in New York and it was so easy to use. Wish they had this kind of system in California.

     For dinner we ate at Korilla BBQ, which I only know of is because of the great food truck race. They definitely lived up to their name for their Korean fusion food.

    The goal of tonight was to see New York City at night and the best spot in the city was the Empire State Building. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

    H2Oi was the destination, but New York was the first stop. The cheapest flight we could find to get to H2oi in Ocean City, Maryland involved a stop in New York and a 4 hour drive down to Maryland.  We start this trip with our flight from LAX to JFK…
    DSC01287I was extremely hungry, so I loaded up at Lemonade with some chicken chili and tuna avocado.
    DSC012947 hours later and I woke up to a beautiful sunrise in New York.

    DSC01316After checking in, the first thing we did was head to The Halal Guys for their famous rice dishes.
    DSC01315 It’s the sauce man, the sauce makes this dish. DSC01314 Coincidentally, Jerald was in New York already with his family and had a day to meet us up. DSC01309 Happy to say this is now available in OC, but the line for it is too ridiculous to wait in.DSC01317This police station looks like a restaurant.

     A travel tip from us is to get the New York pass if you want to do the major tourist attractions.
