Washington and New York were hectic...in the former, hotel availability was impossible due to the start of spring, and graduations. TIme was tight and distances were long as we ended up staying one night in Alexandria, and on in Springfield (both in Virigina). Checked out the Whitehouse, passed by the Pentagon and Arlington Memorial, and saw the Lincoln Memorial and WWII Memorials. In New York we lucked out and stayed at a friend of a friends Brownstone in Brooklyn. We checked out a few clubs (White Rabbit and Sapphire), ate Philly Cheesesteaks, lotsa streetmeat (gyros), and shopped. Hung out with Farouk and went for Korean fried chicken at a cool place just off Wall Street. Checked out the Met museum and the Alexander MacQueen collection. Checked out Times Square and Central Park.
In Boston, ate lotsa Chowda, crabcakes, lobster burger, and other local treats. Checked out Boston Common, the Statehouse, visited the MIT museum, and did the Harvard Tour. My trip lasted from May 23, 2011 - June 2, 2011.
