1. "My feet hurt so bad, but we have to keep going to see everything."

We did sit down on a bench in Central Park and then again on the red steps of Times Square. I wore shoes with absolutely no support and my whole body suffered from it. For walking 13 miles in one day, you're going to need a good pair of shoes.

2. "Why didn't I bring a t-shirt? I'm so warm and my feet hurt."

I cannot stress enough how important it is to bring a backpack. When you're walking around all day you're going to possibly need a jacket (depending on the weather), money (cash or card - I recommend cash so you can give the street performers money if you want to), snacks so you don't have to buy them (everything is more expensive), water, and a phone charger. I thought it was going to be colder so I wore a sweatshirt but I really should have brought a t-shirt, too.

3. "Why is it so busy? There's literally nothing going on."

Times square is so so busy. There's people everywhere all the time doing nothing.

4. "These performers are so funny, they should be comedians."

Street performers perform in Times Square all the time. My friend and I saw a really funny "performance." These three guys said that they could jump over ten grown men but I don't think they ended up doing it. We had to leave to make it to our concert on time but they were really really funny. Stop and see one when you go!

5. "What time is it?"

6. "My feet hurt."

7. "How can people afford all this?"

When we reached the Upper East Side it seemed like a whole different world than the rest of the city. I didn't see many taxis, more people had chauffeurs and everyone was wearing really expensive looking clothes. It was quite the experience of people looking at us as we were in our sweats and jeans walking around 82nd Street.

8. "That's where Serena van der Woodsen lives!"

We were really excited to see the building where Serena, the character from "Gossip Girl" lived and yes, we did fan-girl a little.

9. "Did that driver just open that door for that little girl? Wait, is he her chauffeur!?"

10. "This is so cool! But there is a lot of people."

The Brooklyn Bridge is slightly over one mile long. There were a ton of people, but that's everywhere in New York City. Some people were just walking it but some were running it too.

11. "Please stop ringing your bike bells at me."

We would be trying to pass people on the bridge and get into the bike lane to successfully pass them but then there would be someone riding their bike in the bike lane and just start ringing their bells at us.

12. "This would be a cool picture."

At everything in New York City.

13. "These are barely any grass and trees in New York City besides Central Park."

Central Park is such a random place. Where there's concrete and buildings everywhere, there's just a massive park in the middle of it all. I can't even imagine growing up there and having Central Park as the only "real" outdoors there is.

14. "I'm really going to a concert in Times Square!"

This was the end goal of the whole day. We went to see Lecrae and Andy Mineo at the Playstation Theatre. They had a lot of good openers like WHATUPRG, Wordsplayed, and nobigdyl. And it was a GREAT time.
