The New York City Checklist

December 24th, 2006

It’s been a slow month for blogging, what with exams and all. But all is done now; I’m more convinced than ever that engineering school is less about academics, and more about proving yourself against outrageous expectations and under extreme stress.

That said, I don’t think I’ll ever forget how to set up a band pass filter or a summing amplifier.

Looking ahead, I treated myself to a new camera, and I plan to post lots of pictures from NYC. I thought I’d also publish my fledgling list of stuff to do while there:

  • A Broadway show.
  • A ride in a yellow cab.
  • The Statue of Liberty.
  • The site of the Savoy.
  • A carriage ride through Central Park.
  • Tapings of Stewart and Colbert.
  • Museum of Modern Art.
  • The NYC Opera.
  • Grand Central Station.
  • The federal reserve.
  • A meal costing more than $100.
  • Times Square on New Year’s Eve.
  • “prewalking.”
  • Ground Zero.
  • Rockefeller Center.
  • The Empire State Building.
  • The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
  • Ray’s Pizza.

Suggestions welcome.

    8. Go to a Bowery Ballroom concert
    9. Walk from Central Park to Battery Park
    10. Do a lap round the Jackie O Reservoir
    11. A Chelsea brunch (Eating early at Hemispheres does not count!)
    12. Drinks at Pete’s, the oldest still opeating bar in NYC
    13. Visit X number of otherwise really expensive restaurants on restaurant week. Thats now.

    Good luck!
