New York City - city of amazing, fattening food!

Since I got a Forte Fellowship to Grad. School, I got the opportunity to go to NYC for the annual conference. I gave myself an extra day and a half to check out the city before the conference - but what to do? So many choices, so little time! I was a little worried about traveling by myself, but figured between the awesome subway and the fact that I'd be doing totally touristy stuff I would be fine.

When I arrived in the city, I made my way to my hotel in Soho by way of an extra long taxi ride. It was really easy to do until my taxi couldn't figure out where we were going.
