Last month I went on a trip to New York with my boyfriend, Vega, and his family. I had already been to New York two times prior, but always stayed in Times Square. This time around I stayed at his grandparent's apartment which was in Brooklyn.
This was the view from our bedroom.

On the first day of me getting there, we went to Chinatown and Little Italy. Vega and I really wanted to go to Lombardi's, which is the first pizzareria in America. Because of that title, the wait was really long so we decided to explore a little bit.
After over an hour we finally got a seat and it was definitely worth the wait. Best pizza I've ever tasted!
After that, we explored a little more. I got the cutest Rilakkuma pillow so I was super satisfied at the end of the day. That was until Vega bought us strawberries and I dropped them lol.

The next day we went to his Aunt's house. We just ate and went shopping. Then went home to do the same thing, so overall just a chill day.

The next day was New Years Eve. Vega and I decided that we weren't going to Times Square for the ball drop, and that we'd just got shopping again. We went back to Chinatown to shop for some more things. I got strawberry milk tea from a cute bubble tea shop, then lucky cat bracelets for Vega and I. Then we got lost so we wandered around for over an hour, and finally found our way back home. Then we waited for the new year to arrive.

On the last day, we went to Times Square and ate at Five Guys (since we were having way too much pizza), and saw the giant Christmas tree! In between all of that, we also saw some #Blacklivesmatter protestors.
After that, we went back to Brooklyn and went to Pies and Thighs. Then saw an amazing view from his dad's cousin's rooftop.

The trip was amazing like I expected it to be. Definitely a trip that I'm going to to remember.
