I was scheduled to speak at the Xen User Summit in New York City on September 15th. We intended on making this a mini vacation so we flew to NYC on Friday the 12th and flew back to Seattle on Tuesday the 16th. This gave us some time to explore parts of NYC we hadn't spent time in before. 

Most of my past experience with Manhattan was that of Central Park and Midtown area. This time around I wanted to get a different perspective so I rented an apartment in Greenwich Village.
