Have had a good weekend in New York, and hopefully it will continue. Am catching up with James, my cousin, tonight to watch the Superbowl. Yesterday I finally got in the mood to shop. So I went to Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Fifth Ave and the Rockefeller Centre. Did not actually buy much, as I still found the clothes mega expensive.

So far have not done much sightseeing. Have wandered around Chinatown, Little Italy, Bleeker St in the Village and Times Square. Times Square is amazing.
