NYC
This past weekend I was fortunate enough to go on a quick trip to New York. I haven't been in about 8 years and now I wonder why I waited so long to go back. New York is a place like none other. I know, everyone says that, but its really a unique place, the people there are insane but its all normal to them.
It all started when Anaid and me head to NYC on the Megabus (shout out to megabus.com), double decker bus. We get to Manhattan smoothly, no issues (minus the mass murder scare, you had to be there) On our way to pick up the car and the rest of the crew, got hit on by a bruce willis lookalike (said something about wanting to be with 6 women from nyc, I said, well, we're from dc, oh would you look at that, I have to go to the bathroom... sorry ani!)
Stop at SMAC (smacny.com) The best mac and cheese. Sooo good. I would make a trip just for that. I'm an expert driver now, I have been upgraded since my drive in NYC. I think I can drive anywhere now.
Soooo despite having 3 gps systems, we get lost getting to Wallkill. Just got 45 minutes off course but finally get to wallkill... sooo dark!
We slept about 3 hours I think but it was enough cause we were re-energized and ready for our grand tours! Lunch was super delicious, italian theme. Linguini with a chicken based sauce, roasted chicken, salad, brocolli and gelato!! We tore that up! Little did we know that would be our last meal for a while.
Now on our way to Jersey City to visit Stanley theatre, GORGEOUS! Really, just breathtaking.
Now on our way back to the city for the Knicks game!!! wooo hooo.. oh wait, what? where are we? BROOKLYN!?!?!?!? Wait, what time does the game start? 7:30? what time is it? 7:25 errrr, oops. Sorry Victor! So pitstop at McDonalds to regroup and AHHHHHHHHHHHH attacked by a crazy lady! what is with people and invading personal space? Made a mad dash only 3 feet ahead cause we couldn't leave anyone. Finally getting our way to MSG but stuck in some mad traffic, made a couple of shortcuts, cut lots of cabs off (it was very refreshing). Finally get to MSG drop off the gang. Then to drop off the luggage and van and Ani and me made it right on time to get a drink before they stop serving. and to see the Knicks lose badly. Although I think Anthony Anderson made up for the sucky game by doing these crazy dances.
So time to go to sleep? noooooo... on our way to Havana Central for some yummy mojitos! Passion fruit and Mango, delish!
And they make a rocking sour amaretto. Time to roam NYC... omg, tooo tired, let sit at mcdonalds for 2 hours. Wait no, lets ride the subway, I'm sure it'll be safe and fun and OMG a rat! and lots of homeless people that look slightly demonic. Ride/Sleep on the subway, get to the ferry to Staten Island and basically use it to sleep. for like an hour. Finally go back and still nothing is open for breakfast so back to Mcdonalds. for coffee and nap.
Finally have breakfast at this bakery, I couldn't even eat it, I wasn't hungry. but made my morning going to MAC! LOOOVEDDD it and they blame it on the aaaaa alcohol too. Grab our luggage and back to DC! LOOONGGGG ride and lots of time to sleep.
Back in DC, yayyyyy!!!! We love our clean city. (compared to NYC). Go shopping for some food and get to shower, I have never been sooo happy to shower in my life. scrub scrub scrub!!! Refreshed and made up, ready to partttyyyY!!! fun weekend. shout out to the texans!
