Always a Tourist!

Brett and I haven't really been on a date in a while since we've spent so much time apart and so much time moving me from here to there. So last Friday night was date night for us and we decided to be your everyday New York City tourists even though we've lived here for a few months. But seriously, there is so much to do and see in this city that you just can't do it all, so we'll just be forever tourists with our place of residence happening to be NYC. We decided to go to dinner, which shouldn't normally be a problem...I mean really, it's Manhattan...there are restaurants everywhere you turn. Well, we made the wrong decision to go downtown toward our destination, the Empire State Building and look for food there. Just as we suspected, we found a good handful of restaurants, but none that tickled our fancy. After a while, we finally settled on a place and can I just say...they charged $18 just for a chicken strips meal, come on...what a way to rip someone off! Haha! Ok, sorry, I'll try not to be so frugal! Anyway, after our costly, but enjoyable dinner, we headed to the top of the Empire State Building (another costly experience...honestly, is there anything cheap in this city?) It was absolutely gorgeous, freezing and windy, but gorgeous nonetheless. Just thought I'd post a picture or two from up top.
