Well one does feel energized walking down Times Square at night (or day actually)knowing not what adventures may lay ahead, whether they range between a pick-pocket or a rendezvous with an enigmatic stranger but then that’s the exciting thing about the Big Apple!!
Learn't another new thing this time around. . .
The 'New York weekend' is different from what a regular person would normally identify as a weekend! It isn’t on a Friday night; but is actually on a Wednesday or event at times a Thursday!!
Friday nite is the weekend for the FOB’s (thats fresh off the boat for you non-familiar-with-acronyms readers out there) and the Jersey crowds that pile into the streets and avenues grid; and getting into a club or a lounge means having to wrestle ones way through a hefty crowd of overzealous, really drunk and not so kosher company!
One such weekend (to be read New York and not a regular Weekend) was spent trotting between a lounge bar, a street side bar, a roof-top bar and then the hotel bar!! Needless to say it was a late night that was welcomed by a hearty breakfast and two Tylenol extras!
While the bearings were getting adjusted (bearings to be read jet lag) I had no idea that lady luck was planning to shine on me in the coming days with more memorable experiences from this city that never sleeps.
Hint: it involves my friend, a cousin some cheese string, a deli, a total stranger. . .and a six pack!
Until next time. . .
