Spontaneous / Planned

Sometimes the best moments happen when you leave the plan behind. 


Phone call / Email
 

Optimist / Pessimist

I’ve always believed things will work out in the end.

 

Introvert / Extrovert

According to my Myers-Briggs, I am 98% extroverted (which explains my propensity to talk  more than listen).

Big swing / Quick Win

I fully believe you have to just go for it.

 

Summer / Winter
 

Santa float / Snoopy balloon

As the longest-running character, the holiday season doesn’t officially start until Snoopy flies over NYC in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

 

Online shopping / Brick and mortar

Black Friday / Cyber Monday

I love the energy, excitement, and slight chaos.
 



Hot dog cart / New York pizza

Until NYC realizes Chicago-style hot dogs are superior in every way, I’ll continue staying far away from the hot dog carts here.

 

Yankees / Mets

Yankee Stadium is iconic and only 20 minutes from my apartment. The Mets never stood a chance.

Subway / Uber

It runs 24/7, costs $3, and is faster than driving 90% of the time.



High Line / Central Park 

Truly breathtaking and a must-see for anyone visiting NYC.
