Yesterday I spent my FIRST day in the city since moving up here. I took a bus into the port authority around lunch, then took a cab over to a luncheon with the Publicity Club of NY. They hosted a session with 5 of the Top Broadcast Producers around - Good Morning America, Dr. Oz, the biggies. Hello amazing!
When I stepped out of the cab I was right in the middle of Rockefeller center. I tried really hard not to look like a fool tourist staring at the huge buildings. I've been to NY several times but it never fails to shock me. It's INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cabbed around the city from meeting to meeting, met with a few clients that I've been working with and had never met, etc. I know I'm a huge dork but I love taking cabs. I'm sure that novelty will wear off but for now I'm still in wonderland. I was nervous about navigating in the city but it was so much easier than I imagined. I fell right into line with all the people hurrying around, tried not to stare at people in the face and tried to watch where I was going. LOL
All I could think standing in the streets was I wish someone was with me to share it! My mom, my sister, anybody!! The first thing I saw when the bus pulled into the city was "THE NEW YORK TIMES" on the side of a building. And I saw a reporter working at his desk through the window. It really was a "this is your life" moment. Here I am, working as a media professional, going into the big city for the first time alone, and bam - there it all was. Cheesy I know, but symbolic is it not??
We're off to eat at Buddakan tomorrow night for my birthday. I'm SO EXCITED.
Love to all!
