New York, New York!
Hello all, I am writing from Toronto after having spent a week in New York City! This is an amazing place that really never sleeps. It's true!
On our second night in town we saw the Latino Comedy Festival at the Comic Strip Club on the Upper East Side, this was hilarious and I believe this club is a great place to laugh and enjoy some dinner before or after! LOL
We saw 'Rent' on Broadway which was an interesting spin on the typical musical but still very enjoyable, even though I tried to leave during the Intermission, I did think it was weird that the actors just ran off stage and there was no applause or ovations.... Jenn set me straight, a bit embarrassed to say the least.
Downtown there is an area known as Little Italy it was nice and packed with all sorts of characters with some great bakeries thrown into the mix, but after spending $17USD on a bottle of water and a cappuccino, my last $17USD by the way, we thought it was time to leave, it was a fun day despite all this.
Jenn and I also spent a day touring the city via the Rockerfeller Centre (which I thoroughly recommend as a worthwhile guided tour), behind the scenes NBC tour, Statue of Liberty, and finally Empire State Building in the evening.
Times Square was an eye opener, even at 12 at night it felt like about 7 in the evening because of all the lights, this place is perpetually busy and the epicenter of life in NYC. If you want to feel what new York is like then you should definitely spend some time just soaking up the atmosphere that exudes from this place.
Finally I had a new experience in New York, Jenn wanted to show me a Hookah bar, this place was exceptional, dark lighting, low ceilings, couches with cushions strewn all over the place and when the smoking and drinks menu is presented to me I was thinking “What have I signed up for?” I decided to try the mango tobacco. When the three foot high sheesha pipe was brought out I new this was going to be a night o remember. Jenn and i smoked the pipe while Aziel filled us in on what he's been up to since I met him in Sydney about 4 months ago. I had a great time here and want to go back when I visit New York next.
Well that is about all that I care to publish about New York and so the next addition will be regarding my impressions from the first sights and sounds of Toronto, my new home for the next 4 months at least...
Hope you all stay tuned and keep me filled in on the news from home...
