New York City is amazing. It's such a neat culture of city, vast and full of a myriad of people to interact with. Only...they don't really interact with you. Everyone sort of keeps to themselves. I would venture to say that it's a very lonely city if you don't have friends there. It would be crazy to live there for a long period of time. I'm definitely a New York visitor and possibly short term resident, but i'm not going to retire there.
The subways were so much fun - most of our adventures happened on the subways. We would get on trains and think we were going one way when we were supposed to be going the other direction. And once we figured out we were going the wrong way so we jumped off and immediately jumped on another train and realized we were continuing the WRONG way, which made us laugh. So we finally ended up in the Bronx or something and were casting spells for protection (haha) and all kinds of things. We were riding rails and casting spells.
We saw some lady masturbating on the subway too, that was...well disturbing.
The city itself was great - we got to see Jennifer Rodriguez who had moved up there to go to AMDA, a theatre school. And seeing us and seeing her just made everything so much fun. We ate at this place called Dallas BBQ, and it was funny to see how New Yorkers feel that Texans exist, because the place was decked out like some giant ranch or soemthing. Paintings of horses on the wall and what not, it was hysterical.
We did some shopping and some sightseeing, and mostly tried to stay away from the mainline touristy stuff. We weren't there to be tourists, we were there to experience the city. And we really did. We stayed in Brooklyn and I just had such a great time with Robby and Mario. There is entirely too much to call to memory here, but I will definitely add on as time reminds me of things. The point is...i'm going back for a visit whenever I get the chance!!!
