Hey everyone. It's time for another live blog, this time, from THE BIGGEST AND BESTEST CITY IN THE WORLD, New York City, New York.

Driving In

The way to New York was fun. I have a very small car and there were a lot of very big trucks trying to get into the city. Needless to say, we almost died at several points. It was fun.

The NYC Subway System

New York has gone out of its way to make its subway system as confusing and incomprehensible as possible for visitors. I understand the reason (the subways can get super crowded) but really, trying to figure out these maps is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube sometimes. Luckily, we got unlimited 7-day passes so we can make as many mistakes as we want.

Youth Hostel

We're staying at a youth hostel with a bunch of international people. What I wasn't expecting is that there seems to be a good deal of people who just straight-up live here. At about $600 a month, I guess that isn't too bad for New York City. We're in a pretty good location, just minutes away from Central Park.

The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)

Here's a story for you: The other day in State College, I was at Subway. And you know how they call the people who work there "sandwich artists"? Well, if Subway employees are artists, mine was Jackson Pollock. Buffalo sauce, chicken, cheese, lettuce, bread -- it was all over the freakin' place. So it way nice to actually get to see some actual Jackson Pollock paintings.

JACKSON POLLOCK FUN FACT

Jackson Pollock once threw some paint at a canvas in a haphazard way, and now he has his own room in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Sing Sing Karaoke bar

The best part of going to a Karaoke bar is the crowd's reactions to certain song choices. The Killers seemed to get the best reaction, whereas Broadway showtunes were only begrudgingly sung along to.

BLAM Automat

At least that's what I think the place was called; I was pretty tired when we went there.

There was this cool fast food place where you put your money in a change machine, got dollar coins, and then fed those coins into vending machines that had corndogs, fajitas, chicken fingers, etc. It was great because no human interaction was involved in the process, which is something I admire from any business.
