Destination: Saratoga Springs / NYC
We arrived in Saratoga Springs, NY and headed straight for the bathroom at Stewart's. After that, we grabbed a delicious lunch at Four Seasons (a vegetarian lunch place - thanks for hanging in there with me for that one Jack and Alex...). The two days we spent in Saratoga could not have been possible without our generous host, Mirannda Holmes, who not only is an incredible person, but she also is the proud owner of an incredible cat named Chunky (Chunk-a-monk, Chunk-lee, Chunk Master Flex, etc). Highlights from 'Toga include playing the game "Secret Hitler" (please google this - actually here's the link to the game http://www.secrethitler.com/), visiting Snook Kill Falls (pictured), making pizza, and drinking beer/playing Yahtzee at Pint Sized, a lovely bar downtown. Once again, thanks to Mirannda and her house for letting us take up space, be noisy, and smell bad.
On to the big apple!! We divided into three sections for our stay in NYC - and I'll fill you in on my own. I stayed with my sister, Sarah, in her apartment in Harlem. We ate amazing senegalese food for dinner our first night, and it turns out we were eating at the same restaurant as Jack and had no idea! We didn't even see him there, and found out that we were in the same place the following day. I also visited the MET for the first time (holy shit, talk about a hoarding problem) - and my favorite piece is pictured - stained glass by some artist I don't remember. For our next stop, we'll be going even further south to the land of our Orange Savior - Donald Trump - to D.C. we go!

Might I just add a word or two about the Jewish Museum in Midtown: total bust!
