Life Of A Blogger: Favorite Outings

 
lifeofablogger

Life Of A Blogger is hosted by the fabulous Jessi from Novel Heartbeat where we let people know more about our lives outside of blogging so they can get to know us better!

I don’t have favorite outings specifically, but I do have a favorite outing. I bet some of you who know me really well know exactly where I’m talking about. -shifty eyes-

The answer? Union Square, aka 14st in New York City. You know, that places with tons of shops, food, and did I mention, bookstores?

Let me detail my plan every time I go there. First, I head out of the 14st Union Square subway station and speed-walk to Strandbooks, where I immediately head to the second floor to the Young Adult section. There, I dig through all the books and usually buy at least two books.

If I’m feeling hungry for some chocolate, I then walk about three to four blocks to Trader Joe’s where I buy my favorite Lacey cookies. And buy at least three containers of them – they are delicious.

If I’m not hungry, I then leave Strandbooks and walk about two blocks to Barnes & Noble where I just browse the shelves for new releases and books I may want to read. I will then add those books on my to-read list at home. If I happen to have a coupon from Barnes & Noble, I will most likely buy a book from there.

If I’m feeling hungry for Wendy’s or Popeyes, I will walk about four to five blocks and eat my full. Yumm, fried chicken.

If I’m not hungry for some Wendy’s or Popeyes, I would walk to Books of Wonder from Barnes & Noble, which is about three blocks away. There, I would browse the signed books, be tempted to buy them, and look around some more.

Finally, I’ll go home.

Are your favorite outings full of bookish places too? I want to know!

    Pretty much sounds like my runs down to Union Sq. Never a dull moment down that way either with all the people at the park.

    WOW this sound amazing. Don’t have anything like it near where I live, but I visited Portland, OR last fall and had a (sadly) quick trip to Powell’s bookstore, which was FABULOUS. It’s the size of a city block and several floors, and all the books are organized by topic into color-coded rooms. :D

    Unfortunately, I havent really been into a lot if outings yet, I think i’ve only been to two or three? But anyway, my favorite one was when me and my family went to Ilocos (It’s a province here in the Philippines). It was a ten hour bus ride from where we were. Thank goodness for the stop overs though. I was sitting next to my sister and we played classic on-the-road games like i spy. Now that I think about it, it was pretty boring. And there was no bookstores in sight. But what I clearly remembered was when I woke up at around five in the morning and I watched the sunrise. It was my first time watching it then, and I had no idea that it cpild be so beautiful. It felt like everything under the sun was brand new and sparkling. I felt like everything was in place, and it just felt so good witnessing that. From then on, I made a mental note to myself to wake up early and watch the sunrise and feel everything all over again.
