So have you heard of..

Greenwich Village? It's not pronounced Green-witch but more like Gren-nischt.

It's gorgeous with the old buildings and the fire escape on the front. I would love to live here.

United Nations

Did you know that the United Nations is not technically located in New York City? It's technically an international territory.

If you're a student, you get to pay $11 for the U.N. tour.


General Assembly Hall


Security Council Chambers


Entrance to the U.N.

For 45 minutes, you get to learn anything and everything about the U.N., their purpose, mission, etc. The most annoying part of the tour: high school children. Enough said.

Joe's Shanghai - NYC

Most delicious soup I've ever eaten. Located on 9 Pell St in Chinatown, Joe's Shanghai is pretty much a hole in a wall type of restaurant. Literally. I had to walk into some dirty and fishy smell alley.

This restaurant is open everyday from 11 a.m. to 11p.m. There was a line already when I got there around 10:40 a.m. Good thing my friend and I were second in line. Here's what to get:


Seafood Soup


Won-ton Soup


Steamed Pork


Pork dumplings

Total cost of the meal: around $20ish.
