RULE #1: BUY COMFORTABLE SHOES!!!

An understatement: If you EVER visit or move to New York, make sure you buy comfortable shoes. I know you’d think that would be a given, but even your most comfortable shoes can end up hurting. My feet are SO sore, that laying on the couch with my feet up, no shoes or socks- they still ache as if I’m walking on rocks.

I think some of the damage also came from walking around on these hardwood floors with no shoes for 4 days, continually lifting and carrying 40-pound boxes back and forth across the apartment.
