Rituals - New York, NY

Returning to New York almost felt like coming home, even though I’ve only visited once before for a week in 2005. A quick change at Penn station and I was chugging uptown towards my hotel on the Upper West Side.

It was after 8PM when I arrived, which made it too late for sight-seeing, but there was a more important task – recreating the perfect NY junk food meal I discovered on my last trip:

1. A cheese slice from Sal & Carmines
2. A Dunkin Donuts donut.
3. Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Beer

This mission accomplished, I finished off the Sam Adams while watching a Family Guy marathon and spent the remainder of my evening slowly wandering down Broadway to Times Square and sampling a few bars along the way.
