As I left to Portland from Eugene I was extremely late and somehow managed to not miss my flight. I felt very excited to begin this journey in a city I had never experienced before. Upon my arrival I loved how fast paced the city felt and the views walking around SOHO were second to none. My first food experience in New York was one of the best dinners I had every had. We went to downtown Manhattan to a small place called Thursday’s that had the best edamame dumplings. I cannot wait to explore the city more this week and take photos of everything in sight.
