I had a totally unexpected chance to go on a day-trip in New York City last week. Since the only time I’d been there was about 9 years ago on one of those sketchy Chinatown four-cities-in-three-days tours, I was pretty psyched to see as much as I could.

I was staying in Long Island, so I took the fantastic LIRR into town and walked basically all over Manhattan. I hit as far north as 76th and as far south as the WTC memorial, with lots of subway-ing in between. (Totally jealous of the NY subway, for what it’s worth.) I’m not totally sure how far I walked, but I do know that I was on my feet non-stop for about 9 hours, so…

I only had a cellphone camera with me, but I think these turned out alright for what they were.
