Like I said, when my parents were in town I was unabashedly a tourist. I have lived in NYC more than 2 years now and I had never walked across the Brooklyn Bridge (despite working like 2 blocks away from it). It’s quite the lovely experience at sunset!

More food pictures! These are of afternoon tea at Tea & Sympathy in Greenwich Village. Highly recommend it if you are looking for great tea, ambiance and some Shepard’s (or Banoffee!) pie.

Navy Pier, Chicago. Truly one of my favorite spots in Chicago. I love being by the water and if I lived there I think I’d go in sit on the benches as often as I could.

Perk of my parents being in town? I got to be a tourist without actually feeling bad about it. This city really is lovely.
