Day 7. New York – Philadelphia: Port Authority. Snap Kitchen. University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). Campo’s Philly Cheesesteaks. [City House Hostel Philadelphia]

It was some time after 10 am when I finally got up to pack. The check-out time was 11 am and my bus ($13.50 including taxes & fees) was at noon.

Day 6. New York: New-York Historical Society (Harry Potter: A History of Magic). Hudson Theatre (Head Over Heels). Famous Famiglia Pizza. Winter Garden Theatre (School of Rock). [HI New York Hostel]

Best day ever! I cannot stop smiling.

Day 5. New York – Jersey City – New York: Liberty State Park. Burger King. Bento Sushi. Brooks Atkinson Theatre (Waitress). [HI New York City Hostel]

Today, I got up at noon, which was a significant improvement. I finished my day 4 post, and left the hostel after 3 pm.

Day 4. New York: McDonald’s. Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. Brooklyn Bridge. Grand Central Terminal. Bryant Park Winter Village. [HI New York City Hostel]

Yesterday was weirdly tiring, and I didn’t manage to get out of bed until 3 pm. It’s getting rather unhealthy and I should get a grip on myself.

Day 3. Chicago – New York: O’Hare International Airport (ORD). John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Yankee Stadium. The Julliard School. Lincoln Center. Pret A Manger. Broadway. [HI New York City Hostel]

My plan of leaving the hotel before 7 am failed. Even though I am practically late when I arrive at the airport less than 2 hours before takeoff, I still waited for 40 minutes before boarding was even allowed.
