The first time I went to New York City was back in 2003 with my college roommate, and she can attest that the Big Apple was not my cup of tea!  I actually felt like I was in another country, even though at the time I had never been out of this country.  Needless to say, these eight years later, I have more of an appreciation for the city.  So when a friend of mine was recently in town, we planned a trip to this city that never sleeps, and she too felt like a foreigner her first night there.  We stayed in the Manhattan area for our entire stay, and we ventured to Central Park, Times Square, this mall somewhere near the Trump Towers.  Anyway, one of the highlights for me was when we saw these models doing a photo shoot in the middle of Central Park.  Sadly, I was one of those nosy bystanders that stopped to watch all of the action!  See photos from my trip below.
