Last week I headed up to New York to spend two days with a friend who was traveling there for her work. I decided to tag along and explore the city. It was a blissful couple days as I enjoyed some of my favorite things: urban hiking, people-watching, and photography. Here are some of the fascinating faces and places I saw during our trip.
