My name is James Whitaker. I'm 28. I have been traveling around the world since November 2006. I run my internet business from my laptop. My friends think I'm crazy. I think it's crazy to sit a cubicle for more than 5 minutes in a single lifetime. These are my adventures.

My day in New York

So I spent the day in New York today. I love this city and decided I should live here someday before I die. I think I packed the most things I’ve ever done in a city, into my 30 hours here:

Today in New York, I:

-Took 2 cab rides in real yellow NY cabs, crabby drivers included.
-Ate a greasy omelette and drank coffee in a NY style diner.
-Watched the Park Avenue mile running event.
-Went to a book fair in Central Park. bought 2 books!
-Went to Trump Tower, Rockefeller Center, Empire State, and Chrysler Buildings.
-Went to the MOMA, and saw some Jackson Pollack and Dali art.
-Saw an amazing exhibit of prefab housing, which was way cooler than it sounds.
-Had lunch in a NY style Deli.
-Watched street performers in Times Square.
-Took myself to a matinee off Broadway show, The Fantasticks, and half fell in love with the hottie female lead. I swear she was singing to me.
-Ate both a New York city hot dog AND a NY style pizza slice.
-Walked through Chelsea and the Village.
-Looked at Ground Zero.
-Looked at the Raging Bull on Wall Street.

When I got home, I mapmyrun’d it and I walked 9.8 miles today. What a fun day though. Everybody should take themselves on a self-date through New York:) Tomorrow I go to Jersey!!!
