We met at Grand Central station at around 14:00. I had seen Grand Central plenty of times before in movies, but seeing it with my own eyes made me feel as though I had somehow stepped back in time. 

I was a little worried that R-san wouldn't recognize me, since we had only hung out in person once before, for a couple of hours and I looked slightly different, but he found me quickly and we decided to get a bite to eat. He wanted to eat Oysters but the Oyster & Seafood bar had been closed by the time we got there, so we decided to head out. We eventually grabbed a hot dog and a pretzel at a little street cart while walking down 5th Avenue. 

We wanted to go up the Empire State building,  but since we wanted to see the night view from the top, we had some time to kill. So, after "eating," we did some shopping, random sight-seeing and picture-taking around the city which mostly consisted of R-san snapping random pictures of me. 



As soon as the sun started setting, we grabbed some pizza, then headed to the Empire State building. I took a few pictures at sunset, but as it became night, my battery died and I couldn't take any pictures T_T. It was so beautiful though. At least I got to see it with my own eyes. 


We got back to the hotel at around 22:00. We showered, changed, and watched some TV as we planned the next day. There was so much to see and so little time.
