Our New York City List

After deciding to take our trip around this world, Heather and I started making a list of things we wanted to do in New York before leaving.  The general idea formed after reading the Best of NYC edition of the Village Voice and realizing there was a long list of restaurants, bars, activities, shows, and sights we had never had the chance to check out.

It’s been fun accumulating these new experiences in our own backyard.  Unfortunately, many of the items involved devouring delicious, but not-so-healthy food.  Hopefully the backpacking lifestyle will allow us to shed a few of the pounds we’ve picked up over the last few months.
