NEW YORK F---IN' CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Part 3)
Friday...NEW YEARS EVE!!!!!
We were pretty hung over from the night before at my sister's bar, so we didn't get up until like 11. We went down to Times Square to check out he pre-party scene. It was odd, already hundreds of people camping out to get a view of the ball. The place was mobbed, Jake and I got lost for a while inside the Biggest Toys R Us of all time, shit was like 4 stories high! We looked at each other and were like let's blow this pop stand. But not before we found a nice little store where we bought 2 tickets to sat night's show RENT starring Drew Lachey--more on that one later.
Enter Chinatown...hmmm. Exactly as I had expected it. About 1090940909209309 markets of people selling live shit and hanging dead ducks etc. in the street. Jake LOVED it! He took pictures of the crabs, and wanted to take one home as a pet...him and his animals. Noone spoke english, which was ok cuz we didn't talk to anyone. We just went up and down the streets, in and out of the markets and shops. Jake ended up buying a little fan with a pretty print on it for his room, only 2 bucks, good deal! We were supposed to meet my sister and her friends on the top floor of the Ritz Carlton for martini's, but Jake and I were too tired and shit fell through, because we wanted to take a nap and be charged for the big party that night! P.S. I love Manhattan tap water!
Enter New Years eve at Ulysees! -Yet again we found ourselves downtown at my sister's bar for the festivities. We arrived around 10, and it was semi-dead...Was everyone in the entire city at Times Sq? NOPE! About 200 people ended up adding onto the already half full bar! My sister's friend Mary took care of us this time, a REAL cutie, very friendly and cool, she was definately into gettin us shit faced! Jake drank his Chimay and I my Smithwick's...5 beers later, it was NEW YEARS! They passed out party hats and noise makers and all sorts of paraphenalia for the 2005!!! We got all decorated and made so much noise, and everyone was kissing everyone and making trains of people around the bar, and just overall excited! -Relieved was I that no bombs or anything went off. It is hard to summarize how much of a good time we had there with everyone and all the free expensive beer we could drink in a ritzy manhattan bar!!! Soooo friggin cool! Did I mention how EVERYONE is beautiful there?! Supermodels everywhere, I didn't knwo what to do! It kind of raised my standards, cuz now I walk around buffalo and see all the fat and gross people here and just think...EWWWWWWW! It was funny to see though, since the bar was in the financial district all the rich, less attractive guys with the gold digging models...-So After my sister got off her shift around 2AM we went next door to the "employee" section of the bar kind of, and had drinks wtih the staff! Jake was at his limit and didnt have anything else, he just kind of zoned out in his own little world till we left. Then big sis, her friend (can't remember her name) , jake and I all piled into a cab to head to yet another bar. It was just 4am! So much partying left to do right? Wrong! Jake was so drunk that we had the cab drop him and I off at my sis' apt where we played with the cat, took weird ass photos and went to bed. -My sister didnt get in until 9am!!!!!
Jake and I both agree it was the BEST new years eve either of us have EVER HAD! And It was all part of the big party in the city! We didn't need to be in times sq to be part of the party, we had more fun !
