Last Days in D.C. and Solo NYC Part 1

What do you do if you're on your own in NYC? Well, first you say goodbye to good little cousins and good ol' friends in D.C....

Then you meet up with another good ol' friend from childhood for brunch in Chelsea. Try to stay dry in the snow storm.
Trudge through the snow, to Penn Station and Macy's and take a peek at "the real" Santa Claus. Kindly accept your parting gift from a kind elf who is trying to make some extra cash to pay his NYC rent.


Then fight your way through the Christmas crowd to see the Christmas windows at Herald Square.
Then go back to your little apartment, eat Udon noodles, watch some movies, and stay out of the winter slush until you regain your strength for day 2.
