Rooftops

I've been running around New York, A LOT! A majority of my time is spend getting from place to place on the subway (but I don't get lost as often anymore!).  This past week alone, I've left my house at 8 am or earlier and haven't made it home before 10:30. This proved to cause some concern as I missed all of Cole's calls last night, because as soon as I got home I promptly fell asleep and didn't move until 3 am. 

That being said, I am having WAAAAYYY too much fun. Here are a collection of images from last week.

Here are some of the Jews that live in my neighborhood. So many fuzzy hats!

A lovely wizard cat my roommate drew while hanging out in the park

Below are images from a animation show I went to. Rooftop Films is an organization that shows "underground" films on rooftops around New York. Its super hipster, super cool and very interesting. This series was held on top of  a high school. I couldn't get over how COOL the roof of this high school was. here are a selection of the AMAZING artwork the covered every inch of the walls.

Hi Cat

,

If you look VERY CLOSELY, you can see the Empire State Building.


The Shrine / An Argument from Sean Pecknold on Vimeo.

This is one of the animations they showed. It was one of my favorite. Enjoy! 

To end, Here is a video of some guy dancing on the subway. 

Dad in the City: Part 2

Day two of papa showing me around the city consisted of a LOT of walking. My poor little feet!!! For our first stop we went to the Brooklyn Bridge

This photo above is funny because I asked some random guy to take the photo for us. The whole time he looked like he was going to drop the camera and like he was taking pictures of something other than us. As you can see, I look more and more concerned as the "photo shoot" progresses, until the last photo, the best one in my opinion.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING GUY???!?!"

Walkin down the bridge / Headquarters of the J.W.'s

The bridge was a long walk but we made it to the end. In the middle it was actually quite nice, with the breeze and all. We decided to make it a museum day, so here are pictures of animals n stuff.

DINO!!

I rly like rocks.

This is me taking a picture of my dad, taking a picture of this statue. Hes in to sculptures.

Dad and Squirrel exhibit?!

Punk Couture Exhibit

I really liked this one, and halfway through someone told me to stop taking pictures so, there would be more.  It was funny how they talked about punk culture and its "anti-culture" attitude, IDGAFOS type business. They you had people with nearly unlimited budgets beautify and refine it. There was one piece with a "blood spatter" that was beaded on the shirt. That was awesome. 

DELICIOUS NOODLES

We went quite out of our way to get this soup, but I was over pizza that day. It was so good. It is called Hide Chan Ramen. It was JUST what we needed. So yummy. It was full of Asians too, so we knew it was legit. 

Well I way too much fun with my dad, roaming New York, eating treats and hearing his tips. I think I'll be able to survive, for the next few weeks at least! 

Until next time!

Dad in the City: Part 1

AAAAAAA++++++++++ View from the AIRPLANE as we entered NEWARK! 

I left my house at 4:15 am (no sleep from the night before) with my BFF Cole to pick up my father and head to the airport. We took off at 6 am headed toward the "Big Apple" with one minor stop in Texas. (This is where I took weird pictures of my dad and spent too much time trying to edit them on my phone.)

Amado, Sleeping

A long train ride and too many subways we landed ourselves in Brooklyn at 7:30, starving and sweating because I had packed too much and we had carted ourselves around the city with it. (98 lbs plus a sewing machine, purse and my dads carry-on... oops!). We ate pizza and then we fell ASLEEP! ZZZzzz

"I hate my daughter and her luggage." 

The next day I woke up bright and early, 10 am (but in my defense that is 7:00 Tucson time so I'm a rock star), washed the sticky off meh body and headed out. 

First my father and I ate DELICIOUS doughnuts at Dough.

Lemon Poppy Seed. YUMM

Srsly, so good. If any one comes in visits, this is one of the first places we will go. (The Urban Spoon rating is a 98%, if you're in to reviews.)

 Then we took the subway off into the City! Here are more pictures of our day!

First View of the City!

At a park, We went to a lot of parks that day, so its hard to remember which one. 

Another delicious carb-y food we ate that day.

Happy Dad near the New York Stock Exchange

9/11 Memorial

SWEATY. Also, my bra looks weird. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The day was full of walking, trying to understand the subway system, getting lost, and trying to fine orangeade Snapple. I also learned an important lesson. As I was filming some weird guy with a pink tutu, he saw and came over to me and asked for a quarter for his "Show". When I told him I didn't have any cash he accused me of hating the poor or something, I'm not to sure because then he started yelling at everyone in the park. So, I learned that I need to have quarters or be sneaking when filming the precious individuals of New York City.  

Papa and I ended the day with pizza and wanting to die from the humidity. Typical.
