Friday: Out with the old (picture overload)

Bianca came to visit =) She's been to Ithaca for 2 weeks now to attend school and was absolutely delighted to see the city once again!!

Shopping while we wait for Bianca...

PJ and I met with Bianca and her friends in one of the most interesting places I've been so far - It's in the best kept secret location in Midtown - it's Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien.

Marble lobby, giant mirrors, front desk - everything you'd expect in a hotel, you'll see right when you get in.

One would notice an oddly huge red velvety tarp -

but a curious one will see this small neon burger sign that'll lead you to the entrance.

Expect to see in the crowd college kids to Midtown workers to opera-goers - the line can go all the way out the door and finding tables can be worse than a sample sale!!

You spend $7 or more for the burger but is it worth it?? YES! You can easily compare the taste to that of In-N-Out's or Five Guys' -- I'll leave it all to you to decide :)

Perfect way to burn the burger: WALK. We walked from 56th Street and 7th Ave. to 60th Street and 3rd Ave. only to find ourselves in front of Serendipity 3 LOL!

Some cute things we saw on our way...

and inside

The treats!! =)

Talk about sugar high -- we all slept at 4:30am LOL.
