RAD Life » The Life and Love of Ral and Danelle Nicanor

The city so nice they named it twice! We think it’s the city so great, if you haven’t gone you’re two thousand and late <– Enter whack joke here.

Ahhhh.. New York, let me count the ways  How do you describe an experience that is almost indescribable? Of course we are not the first to go to New York and love it, but we also know many people have gone there and had the opposite experience. I guess it all depends on who you go with, and your purpose for going!

Both Danelle and I have continued to live out the maxim of our marriage, which is ‘to do life together’. We don’t want to just let it happen to us. So New York was an adventure that we couldn’t wait to begin!

New York is simply larger than life. Its energy is contagious, and its grandeur is boundless. We LOVE LOVE LOVED every breath of it!

Hmm.. What is there to do in New York? I guess we tried out a few things (sorry, being a little facetious). With the help of some fabulous family and friends (and couples we shot (THANKS Elisse & James!), we were able to map out different things we wanted to do. With the help of a trust POP-Out map (yes, that’s right a pop out map! Danelle thought I would actually stand on a standard map to navigate) and the subway iphone app – we were able to traverse Manhattan!

It felt like 10 days  was WAY too short, but at the same time it was WAY too perfect with the way things worked out! We  saw the sights and sounds of possibly the best city we’ve had the pleasure of doing  :P If there was such thing as a sugar death, Danelle and I would have  fallen victim on the second day of our trip due to excessive eye candy! We  obviously saw Rockerfeller  Center, Walked the Brooklyn Bridge, Hung out at the Museum of Natural History, Strolled through Central Park, Consumed the infamous White Pizza, had a Premiere night with our couple Francesca and Andrew, drooled up a river at Tiffany’s flagship, Soaked in the energy of Time Square,  Memorized all subway stops, woke up to the most New Yorkeriffic view of the city, met a cop with THE thickest NY accent, took a bite out of 5th ave, Mimicked the transporter from Star Trek when going down the elevator for the Apple Store, went and experienced THE experience – “Wicked” on Broadway, whispered sweet nothings at the secret whispering wall, Flew over Manhattan via helicopter, Visit Monica Geller, Chandler Bing, and once Rachel Green’s apartment, Catalogued all the greatest historic findings EVER! by acquainting ourselves with every inch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET), witnessed a New York Minute in Time Square, immortalized ourselves beside the Statue of Liberty, had brief interactions with Taylor Momsen (from Gossip Girl),  Ted Danson (from Cheers), and Donald Trump (from Donald Trump), and made fools of ourselves on Wall Street just to name a few. So ya… we tried out a few things in New York

We wished we could have done more things, like watch a lot more Broadway shows, eat more pizza, hang out with fabulous Ladan and Cyrus, eat more pizza, and visit other districts However, it makes us look forward to RAD Studio does NYC Version 2! With the experience we had we couldn’t have asked for a better blessing. We would do it again in a heartbeat and change nothing about it (maybe sneak in another slice of pizza perhaps!)

This slideshow below DOES NOT do justice to our trip. Seeing that I took over a thousand pictures and I had to squeeze out only a hundred for a short snipit of our trip – ya, it totally doesn’t do it any justice. But it does demonstrate the eyegasmic time we had!

If any of you want to see the full slideshow (cataloging the MET and all) , just input “New York Baby!” in the middle of your comment below (be sure to leave your email address), or email me (r@radstudiophoto.com) with the subject line “New York baby – and I will send you a slideshow link of all our images!
