Ross and I arrived in New York the morning of St. Patrick’s Day – a mistake I will never make again. Our taxi had to drop us two blocks from the Roosevelt hotel because the streets were already blocked off. We then had to fight our way through the crowds (with our suitcases) to reach the hotel, only to find that it was too early to check in. So we left our suitcases with the bell desk and, despite exhaustion (we had woken up at 4:30 am to get our flight from Austin), went out to take pictures.
