Favorite shoes!
We went through Times Square and had some (kind of mediocre) pizza on "Restaurant Row".
(Times Square gives me about as much anxiety as the tranvestites at the bar. Too many people, too much going on.)
Anyway, Hell's Kitchen was not our favorite.
Peyton: 4/10 for lack of attractiveness and community interaction, few young children; however it felt safe
SD: felt safe, however very few things to do, park was dirty, and streets were busy and cluttered
Our next stop was Morningside Heights. We really liked it. We talked to one super friendly family. Both parents were professors at Columbia and they had two beautiful little boys. They were an interracial couple (I just mention that because we're really interested in diversity).
Peyton: 6/10 for beautiful sorroundings, serene atmosphere, and community; lacked enough diverity
SD: 6/10 for quaint atmosphere, sweet families, and racial diversity; drawback is lots of college students, not as many families.
Our last stop for the day was Manhattanville (West Harlem). It was not our favorite. At all.
Peyton: 2/10 because it seemed unsafe but it was very affordable
SD: 1/10 because it felt pretty sketch (NYPD presence at the subway station, lots of graffiti, ect.), no pretty housing, no green space, and it just felt like a concrete jungle
We got back early, chilled out some and then went to church (Trinity Grace Church in Chelsea) at five. The sermon was about evangelism and was really good!
We ate and turned in early!
