Shimer Photography Goes To New York

Yes, that's right. Justin and I spent a whole week in the Big Apple. We went with Justin's parents and his nephew and we saw it all! (Or at least as much as one could possibly squeeze into 7 days). Some of our favorite things included seeing Young Frankenstein on Broadway, going to Morningside Heights, the Ellis Island Museum, and going to The Cloisters Museum in Fort Tryon Park. We even ate at the restaurant from Seinfeld (yes, that was my request). The Cloisters was lovely and it was literally our last stop (we barely made it back to the hotel in time to get to the airport afterward). What a difference it is up there compared to the rest of the city. So quiet. We even bought a little art work for ourselves outside The Met Museum.
It was a very welcome break from everything at home, and we had a fantastic time. We only just got home and we can't wait to go back!
Of course, we brought cameras with us every inch of the way. So, here are some of the ways that we saw New York City.
