Let's get nostalgic about New York

Sophomore year of college, all of a sudden the two us were addicted to good food and we started this food blog.  Then we started looking at other people's food blogs and we ran into The Wandering Eater and her fabulous blog.  The food in New York looked so much better than the food we were eating on school campus.  We couldn't tear out eyes away from her photos and practically looked them everyday.  We even set her photos as our desktop wallpaper. (Haha, looking back we sound crazy.)

And then one night, we were laughing and joking around.  "What if we went to New York?"  And then a few days later, we thought, "Why not go?  Nothing is holding us back!  We should go while we're young and have a fast metabolism."

And BOOYAH!  A few months later, after much planning and money saving, we hopped onto a plane to New York to eat our hearts out!

This is our last post for New York but it pretty much summarizes our whole trip in New York.  All of our favorite moments in photos.
