It's not colder than DC but it sure is noticeably windier. Boo.
Anyways woke up today and went to go check out Harlem. Saw the apollo theatre and had WHITE CASTLE for lunch. It was pretty good. Not mind-blowing but so cheap that for what you pay it's solid. They have a house of hoops there too which had some really cool stuff. I need to not be buying shit though cause it's gonna be a real hassle when I do make my triumphant return out west. Harlem seems like such an alive place despite being tuesday.
After that I figured I'd go check out Rockfeller center. Got my ass on the subway and rode over. It's pretty cool, they have an entire store titled "the NBC experience" where they sell stuff for the office, 30 rock, house, SNL etc. If u want something from there holla at me and maybe i'll get you an xmas present. I took a picture by the 30 Rockefeller Center sign for my 30 rock nerdiness. That show really grows on you. The ice skating in the middle is smaller than i pictured. I think there's a another big rink somewhere.
From there I walked to Times Square which was pretty close. I've never really felt small-town before but nyc really is insanely enormous. Times square is full of tourists and the sensory overload there is pretty real. There's several screens that are multiple stories high and tons of ppl trying to sell you tickets to shit. I figured there wasn't much there for me so I figured Greenwich Village would be my next destination. I don't know what's there but I've heard of it so I figured it would be a good next step. I got of on Houston St (which they pronounce Howston for some reason) saw this place called Joe's Pizza which was apparently in spiderman so i had a slice. pretty tasty, sauces tasted more like they do in italy. After that saw a place called papaya dog that Dennis told me about so i got a hot dog and a cup of papaya juice. also good and cheap. I'm liable to gain a tremendous amount of weight in this city. No joke.
Soon i'll be off to explore more of this side of town. I somehow ended up by NYU and figure I should explore the area.
wooooo!!!!!

haha, after nyc, la felt so un-citylike.
ReplyDeletedid you go to the top of the rock? it was worth it and my friends tell me that it's a better than the view from the empire state building (though disclaimer, i only went to the top of the rock). it was freezing though, and that was in march, so it'll probably be worse...
i agree with you on the weight thing. my entire trip there was a foodie adventure. lmk if you want recos.
