The first trip was to attend a launch event for a new credit card, the Chase Freedom Unlimited. I went with the goal of meeting more finance reporters, but it turned out that the event was entirely visited by people working for companies like my own. Oh well!
My first glimpse of Lady Liberty, with lots of foreign tourists.
I loved this "Cool Globes" exhibit.
Did you know that the famous bull isn't on Wall Street? I'm still appalled.
I then had some spare time before a dinner appointment, which I was happy to fill with some time in the free Native American museum. It was beautiful and heartbreaking. I cannot wait to go back with more time.
Then I had dinner with a co-worker who lives in NYC -- it was our first time meeting in real-life! I loved his recommendation, Fraunces Tavern, a Revolutionary War-era tavern, where I enjoyed a hearty, old-fashioned stew.
My next trip to New York came in late May when I went to record a few lines for a commercial for the new Ally Bank credit card. Here are some photos from "behind the scenes."
It was a wholly different gig for me - my media spots, when on camera, tend to be more traditional back-and-forth between me and a reporter. This one was fairly scripted, with minimal room for me to make changes on the fly. Cool experience, though, and great opportunity for NerdWallet!
^^ Shake Shack. A long line, but very much worth it. Shake Shake is everything In-N-Out claims (and fails) to be.
