It was our first night in New York City, and we ended up getting a room in the Citizen Hotel, which was infinitely better than the Dream. We were exhausted from traveling, so I ordered Two Boots pizza, and we went to bed early.

My city. My buildings. *Gollum voice* My precious.

Every time I visit New York, I revert to the city girl I was before moving to Los Angeles. New York Lauren was always dressed well in case I ran into somebody important or went viral for getting pushed onto the Subway rails.

New York Lauren. Who is she?

I got up early because there’s nothing like the energy of a New York morning. It was Sunday, so the city wasn’t filled with people going to work. It was filled with runners, families going to church and brunch — (chunch?), and my personal favorite, walk-of-shamers heading back home.

We walked to Soho and grabbed coffee at a truck parked off Green Street. I took a little video I was going to post on my Instagram, letting people know to expect NYC content for the next week.

Please don’t talk to me before I Instagram the Coffee Truck.
