What did I do for Independence day weekend??I visited NY .
What did I do in NY:
It was a fun ,economical trip
So what did Toto and me do?
First we thought we will do some local sightseeing near to MA. Luckily I found a 10$ deal on lastminutetravel and we just checked in for July 3rd night.
4 star Hotel for 10$. So we packed bags and drove off to NY on the morning of June3rd. Traffic was bad as predicted and we headed to a parking space near to the hotel around 12 p.m
Next step,purchased a subway ticket .1-Day Fun Pass for 8.25 each so the price for both is around 17$ .But you could travel unlimited using the subway all through the day.

So we boarded the subway and reached Lexington Square to the Dosa cart at Washington Square Park. Yummy Dosas !! I am a big follower of yelp.com and found this dosa place online. Due to my liking to Anthony bourdain travel show,and how he loves to eat at the roadside carts I always try to explore if such kind of food is available in the US too which is unspotted but can be relished .

Thiru the vendy guy ,also called the Dosa guy was owner of this place and he made fresh masala dosas for me and Toto. So lunch was over with 10$.Tummies filled with Yummy dosas.Then we started exploring. Our next stop was Brooklyn bridge.
We walked over to Brooklyn bridge did the "Kal Ho Na Ho " poses. Toto gave his camera some work like trying to shoot pics of me in the most awkward poses. Smile..Smile properly
In my mind thinking..Is he frm NASA??
As part of our plan, we were almost tired out by the time we walked back from Brooklyn bridge and back to the subway. Whats the POA now? We checked in to our hotel.
For a 10$ lastminute hotel deal(tax included),I think this is pretty decent.You could check pictures of the hotel we stayed here. Well,the parking did cost us 25$ for 24 hr.Atleast the car is safe.

We checked in the hotel and refreshed ourselves.Dinner was ofcourse at my favorite Malaysian place. Jaya restaurant in Chinatown.
Dinner was awesome,I had wine and Toto had a couple of beers with the Roti Kanai and Satay. Deliciousy. We had fried rice and noodles for entrees and our stomachs were filled by then.
Legs were aching even though we wanted to hit a nightclub. So we decided to go back to the hotel and have a good nights sleep.
Tuesday morning,July4th ,we woke up late and checked out of the hotel.Parked the car near to the place where we might head to watch the fireworks. It was shopping day..July 4th sale and I was let loose in NY to shop. What did I buy?
1. 2 Bolero knits 0black and white to wear on sleeveless dresses.(I dare not expose my sleeves and thinny arms).
2. Home knick knacks and an umbrella for Toto.
3. Visit to my favorite store,Forever 21 where I got a blackskirt for 9$ and a top for 10$.I love forever 21.Affordable prices for girls like me.
4. A COACH duplicate bag
5.Icecream
We ended the visit seeing the fireworks by the Hudson river and drove back home. zzzz in the car and by the time we reached home it was july5th,2.00 a.m.
