New York is a great place for EATS.... You can get anything you desire in NY and it will usually taste authentic, even if its something typically made half way around the globe. I am not going to lie, I am not a huge food critic... As long as its not moving, bleeding, or talking to me... Ill think …

The crisp winter air touches your face like a soft brush of a hand, as you stand and enjoy being in the moment on that high pinnacle atop the bustling city. Below you an army of little black ants scurry about with parcels in hand. A serene oasis of green emerges from between the concrete and neon l…

The weekend began at Village Underground, Friday, April 25th, where the live house band played great music and drinks were to be had. Having worked the night before and it was very hectic on the floor that night, I spend all day Friday sleeping - drained and simply exhausted.  Meeti…

Our last day in the city. So far so good. No major hiccups and the weather had cooperated to date. Since we were planning to be inside almost all day, I figured the weather could pretty much do what it wanted and we would be fine. When we stepped out on the street, from our breakfast at the Key Wes…

          Birthdays in the middle of the week are always a challenge.  You really want to do something, but after a long day of work, making that happen can be difficult.  So when my friend Ashley’s Birthday rolled around on a Wednesday, we knew it was goin…

:( this was my last day in NYC, there were no more chanced to delay my leaving. Well, I´m sure I will be back eventually. My bus was leaving the city early in the afternoon, so I just wanted to explore around the city and visit a couple of museums. Matt was leaving too. So we just checked ou…

After walking around Ground Zero for a bit, we took the subway again and headed over to Times Square.   It was somewhere around there that we parted ways with Adrian, he had some stuff to do and was getting ready to continue his vacation to the US, I believe he was heading out west next.&…

I absolutely love hockey and I'm always going to games. If I can get tickets I'm there. Madison Square Garden is one of the places where I feel at home every time I'm there. The people, the food, the beer, and of course the New York Rangers, what else could anyone want? It's loud, energetic and a g…

During my 7 hour flight to New York, I had alot of time to reflect on my trip since I didn't have my ipod or a personal tv to entertain myself lol... As I look back on the last 20 days, I will remember the countless people that I have met, the priceless experiences that I have had, and the bonds th…

Ok so on my travels again & now in New York for Feb 2008. Again…travelling by myself, getting the bus blah blah blah but its ok this cause I’ve done it before so I’m a pro! J I took all the precautions for the cold weather then. Now I had been told that New York winter is freezing an…

Sometimes when flying nonrevenue stand-by, you have to be creative.  In this case, the flights to New York were all pretty much full.  I don't know what was going on there that weekend, but then again isn't there always something going on in NYC?   We left on Thursday morning …

Today we departed to South Ferry Terminal to take free ferry ride to Staten Island. I did that 2 days earlier and didn’t mind going there again. Afterwards we strolled down to lower Manhattan to see Ground Zero and we had our lunch on the plaza. The food sold by this moving cart mostly Middle-Eas…

Done a lot of thinking about NYC in the week I have been home in good ol Gibsonton Florida.  25 hours on a train without a sleeper is the MAX!!!  I enjoyed the train, I saw things you never see from a plane or the Interstate,  I napped, I drank  Train Trip Toddies in …

We're down to our last 2 days here in New York.On Monday we hit the road on our drive cross country from New York to San Francisco. I mapped the course on our UNITED STATES MAP. We're taking Lincoln Highway straight across the whole way.  There's so much left to pack and move out. I don't know…
