Crazy New York Guy
I mentioned this on Twitter, but I didn’t really have enough space to explain what happened. Basically I was verbally assaulted by a crazy dude. My friend and I were eating at the outside tables at Charm Thai (SO good!) and I saw a crazy guy asking a random stranger for four quarters. He was … Continue reading
Don’t Destroy Coney Island
Reports seem to indicate that Brooklyn’s renowned play space, Coney Island, may be taken away and turned into luxury housing. Supposedly the city has a plan for the area, and other stories claim that it’s just a facelift, but I am skeptical. I know that the roller coaster, the Cyclone, is on the National Register … Continue reading
Living in New York City
I really love New York City. I go there about once a month to hang out with my best friends, who both live in Manhattan. I know several other people who live there too, and if I could, I would move there! I am such a perfect fit for NYC…I don’t mind not being social, … Continue reading
Tortilla Flats
Tonight we went to Tortilla Flats for dinner; we made sure to mention to the manager on duty that their website was broken. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas, though, so I am quite funny right now. What’s amazing is that I won bingo! They have trivia nights on Sundays, and I sort-of won that … Continue reading
Fun on Fifth Avenue
The highlight so far has been giving my wife a quick peck on the lips outside a Japanese bakery, and having a passing preteen boy turn around and gape at us. Bet he wasn’t expecting lesbians on Fifth Avenue!
Got Meds?
I had a mostly positive experience with my doctor this morning. I walked in there knowing exactly what I wanted, and I walked out with what I wanted. The purpose of the visit was to discuss my chronic urticaria and see what the options were, but what I really wanted was a prescription for 5mg … Continue reading
Weekend
This weekend I biked 19 miles around Manhattan, got my second paw print at Fine Line Tattoo, did not get to meet Alan Cumming, had a treat from Coldstone Creamery because I’d biked so damn hard, and walked two miles from the tattoo shop to my friend’s house. Not in that order, of course, although … Continue reading
Build a Kitty
I am presently standing in line at the Build a Bear on 5th Avenue in Manhattan, with an unstuffed Hello Kitty clutched to my chest. I was surprised to discover that they have special NYC outfits – not only the sports teams, but also fire and police uniforms, and a Statue of Libearty (ahem) outfit! … Continue reading
In a Day
It has been an interesting 24 hours. We arrived in NYC at 3:30 yesterday, and parked in what was technically an illegal space until 6pm, but there were so many other cars parked there that we figured we’d be okay. We came back two hours later…and the car was gone. So we found out which … Continue reading
