23 Days and Counting!

Well with New York getting closer and closer, 23 days to be exact, I have made some new friends that live in NY through some of my friends here in Jacksonville. Everyone has been so friendly and has offered to help out by answering questions and giving advice. My newest friend addition, Brittany, gave me some awesome websites that can keep you updated on events, food, shopping, apartments, restaurants, ect. See below for all of the fantastic websites and check 'em out!

Also if you look on the very bottom of the blog I have listed some other websites that are very similar to these.

www.thrillist.com, www.dailycandy.com, www.urbandaddy.com - they send a daily email that lets you know about new restaurants, fun events, free events, sample sales!

www.goldstar.com - offers great discounts (most half off) on events, Broadway shows, comedy shows, etc

www.menupages.com - list almost every restaurant in the city, gives a review and the menu

www.hopstop.com - another navigation tool (my favorite one)

www.craigslist.com - will become your new best friend for finding apts, roommates, jobs, furniture and a million other random things

www.traderjoes.com - Grocery Store in Union Sq (on 14th St) its cheap, lots of organic choices and yummy (the price of food is almost double here, so trader joes is a way to get cheaper and good food).
