Last Days In New York: Brooklyn Bridge Walk
// August 4th, 2009 // Comments // New York
One of the first things you realize when you arrive in New York City is how much there is to do. That’s one of the most exciting things about this city and one of the reasons, I believe, that many people become so enraptured with Manhattan. Nevertheless, just like any city, once you get used to it you take it for granted. New York was no different for me.

Regardless of how long I spent in New York–2 years, almost to the day–there were still so many things I never got a chance to do. One such thing was taking a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Granted, this is one of the first things most tourists do when they visit the city. But for some reason, I never got around to doing it until, well, two days before I left New York. I met up with my friend Taylor, who has also been in New York for roughly two years and never walked the bridge. It was a great experience.
I hope to take more advantage of my time here in Paris and throughout Europe, not taking for granted all those great experiences that are right at my fingertips.
