*extreemly jealous*

I still have three more months before my annual trip to the NYC. bummer.

Will this be your first time?
If so, there are a few things that you must do on your first trip:
1-Dont sleep
2-Eat as many different tyopes of pizza as you can fit in your tummy
and
3-wherever you go, make sure you drink and somke. . . think of it as an american version of Paris.

Now, once in the NYC, there are a few things that you must see when in Manhattan- preferably known as 'the city'
-hit Central Park. The midtown section is where you will find all the fun. The famous bridge that is featured in endless romantic-comedies is there. If your up for a small walk through, head towards the Upper West Side, and you will be in Strawberry Fields. Hopefully you are a Lennon fan and you know what Im talking about.
-heading out of the park, you can take pictures of the Dakota. Maybe you will bump into the talentless Yoko, or her son Sean. I hear that Jared leto is also out there shooting his upcoming movie about Mark David Chapman.
-You can catch the B train a few blocks up and check out the Museum of Natural History (actually- I dont remember what that museum is- sorry!) Im sure the Museum of Sex is around there too.
-head out back to downtown (I think that you can catch the B train back, but C and D go there too) Head out to the famous 42nd st. and Bradway. take the diversity in and use this opportunity to buy your souveniers.
-Go see a play. I cannot stress this enough. NYC is full of culture the rest of the US does not get.
-head out to the Lower East Side and party.
-drugs could be good to have, but I would not trust any stranger- try not to do any unless you know a connection that comes from a reliable source.
-If you are into history, take 5-7 hours to check out Lady Liberty, then since your there and you will probably have to wait to get back to the island, head out to Ellis Island and check out all the fun stuff that they have. My history teacher tells me its amazing to be there...
-Check out ground zero on your way back into the city. its intense.
-Go to the Lower West Side. Do stuff. They have this lovely little vintage store about a block from washington square park. There is also this fabulous vegetarian restaurant (well, they have some chicken dishes- but you get the idea) off of 4th st. I know half the staff! If you like good drum and bass, hooka bars, or any type of electronica/trance/progressive trance you can find some stuff then or eight blocks away. The cabbie will probably charge $6 tops.
-climb up to the 88th floor of the empire state building. Its best at dusk- the colors you see are unreal at that time. there will always be a line, so make sure that you make at least 2-3 hour window, and take the free way, unless you want to pay 10- you get a ride, very Disney's star tours.
-Make sure you walk around 5th Ave and strut your stuff.
-Have dinner at exotic food restaurants. Drink wine, smoke cigarettes, and curse Bush.

I think I might have gotten a wee bit carried away... I just miss the NYC so much that I wish I was there now.



Take care and if you have anymore questions or if you want to know what shows are going to be happening this guy will know about it. Make sure that you enjoy the city as much as you can and have loads and loads of fun!
