If you want to beat the crowds in New York City you have to get up at the crack of dawn. The city that never sleeps is pretty sleepy throughout sunrise. I was visiting NYC for a wedding down in Jersey and I was able to stay with one of my best friends Emma. We decided to run out early one morning while I was there and update their photos. We hadn't really taken any since their wedding a few years ago, and I really just wanted to do something a little grungy.
We didn't get to hit all of the spots that I wanted, but we have a nice list for the next time I'm in town. We did however get the high line completely to ourselves for about 15 minutes. Which honestly, is unheard of. It was a nice little reminder about how much I truly do love the city and I would move there in a heartbeat if I didn't have my own pack of dogs.
