New York

I went to New York this weekend for a friend's birthday celebration. 

As much as I love the city, I never tend to go to the "touristy" areas because I can't stand all the people.  However last night, we went out a few blocks from 33rd street, and I forgot how pretty the city can be at night when you don't just ignore the tourist sites. 

Sometimes, it's probably a good thing to just be a tourist and not take it for granted.  I can't remember the last time I actually looked at the Empire State Building as something pretty in the sky line and not just a lit up building for tourists to flock to, but last night, walking back to the PATH, I saw it and it made me smile. 

Then, I had to do the touristy thing and take a terrible picture of it. :)
