I’ve just moved to New York City from Tennessee. It’s a big place here, but I’m excited to get to know it better and have already had some friends show me around some amazing parts. I got to see a hot dog stand that has a secret bar built into the back of a phone booth inside the hot dog stand. You step inside, pick up the phone, speak to someone and then the back panel of the booth opens up to reveal a very swanky bar inside that you have to reserve tables at at 3 p.m. Awesome though.
I also get to say phrases like “I was watching American Gladiators at the Harlem Y today…” Harlem’s the turf now. I’m enjoying being “the third white guy” in any situation other than my apartment. But, now that I think about it, there are three of us in the apartment, so… Dammit. Still, pretty nice.
New Year, New York City. Here we go. To get me rolling, I’ve decided to watch “The Muppets Take Manhattan” every morning at 6 a.m. for a week. I think that’ll really work.
