So I wake to a very stuffy room and feeling slightly...ok I think I know you all well enough to say, SHIT. I liken it to the feeling of a small fury animal camping in my mouth and the fog from San Francisco hovering in my line of vision. I literally roll out of bed adamant I m not going to lose a day! So Ms Roling, feeling a million, and I, in my aforementioned state, head to the High Line.
The purpose was to raise the railroad network and move it off street level. New York City was a growing city, pedestrian deaths and accidents between freight trains and other traffic walt disney world hopper tickets were becoming walt disney world hopper tickets all too familiar headlines. The High Line was designed to go through the centre of blocks, rather than over the avenues allowing easy connection with factories (in most cases tracking through the middle) making it easier deliver goods like milk and fresh produce. walt disney world hopper tickets Further down the line were the abattoirs - this area is affectionally now known as the Meat Packing District due to its past.
It should be noted and I apologise as I digress but, The Meat Packing District along with with Chelsea are two of New York City s trendiest places, full of boutique shops, walt disney world hopper tickets cafes, restaurants and galleries all with an industrial chic feel. A far cry from their blue collar walt disney world hopper tickets yesteryears!
Sorry people but we must get back to the history lesson... The High Line was last used in 1980 and since then has faced deconstruction, the final part was signed of to be demolished in late 1999 but was saved by two local guys who advocated on behalf of local residents (Chelsea and The Meat Packing District) to keep this now sentimental and somewhat defining piece of local history.
It was there I ran into a cute elderly lady - who spoke with an awesome New York accent. She was interested in the photos I was taking and we subsequently got chatting. Now, Mum pay attention on this bit - I saw the Church that the Night before Christmas was written in...and yip I got a picture.
I m now in need of Espresso and a dirty Chilli Dog, we stumble walt disney world hopper tickets across (well I stumble and Ms Roling mosies) a cool little area on the High Line made out of what I can only assume used to be an old factory and what should present itself - a hot dog stand and just across the way ESPRESSO. I order hot dogs whilst Ms Roling has an awkward moment with a short African American lady whom was serving her.
"Two short macchiatos walt disney world hopper tickets please." "Sure." Ms Roling decides walt disney world hopper tickets to check she has ordered the right thing as she is always mixing coffee names up. "They are the short black ones aye?" It is just as this sentence leaves her mouth that she realised it sounds bad...shit did I just say that, was that politically incorrect? was that racist? It is about now Ms Roling takes on her cute awkward demeanour. "Yes". "Ok thanks."
So we attempt to graciously eat our dogs and I have pictures showing how ungraciously we did it (Ms Roling). But apparently they were lost to the tragic bush fire of 1809, never to be viewed in public again.
With my newfound knowledge that eating fruit from vendors walt disney world hopper tickets on the side walk is the only way - again thank you lovely New York lady from the high line - I purchase 1 punnet of strawberries, 1 punnet of blue berries and 1 punnet of raspberries. Does anyone care to guess how much?
If you are thinking that I took out a bridging loan with China...you would be WRONG!!! 5 US (6 NZ) dollars, that s all and it tasted FUCKN amazing, it is here I say common NZ what s the deal...we can t even buy 1 punnet of blue berries for that.
So revitalised with my new-found cleansing antioxidants, we head home. Slowly but surely falling for New York s seductive walt disney world hopper tickets allure, it s like the girl your parents would misunderstand but eventually walt disney world hopper tickets grow to love.
I m greeted by Mr Fisher upon my return, he is looking similar to me - 50 shades of grey, but less seductive... Tim has put his Platinum Amex to good use and found us a table at New York s coolest little Mexican restaurant, that cool I can t mention the name...Don walt disney world hopper tickets t worry I ll know in 50 days when I get my Visa statement. But the waiting list to get in is in excessive of 35 days. I now know why.
There is no signage, it is a radio call at the main restaurant by an odd looking peculiar man..he looked very much like Yoda. He quickly ushers you through a door - which is as quickly closed. You make your way through a corridor to the kitchen, a quick "how s it going mate" and eventually end up at the most funky basement in town. There is no effort to hide the fact that you are in a basement and it goes some way to adding to the atmosphere.
I can t articulate the surroundings, but if you think funky, hip, concrete, loud music, accompanied with the old school lock ins and the "best Mexican food ever" quote Ms Roling. You may get an idea.
We decide walt disney world hopper tickets against a taxi, or should I say taxis decide against us and walk 12 blocks home...it would be amiss of me not to mention this is a Wednesday night at about 11.30pm and there are still traffic jams. Also Union Square (park) was still FULL of people.
The four of us - Mr Hale aka Tim, Mr Fisher, Ms Roling and me (Brownie) - soak up what now is becoming very real; New York is the city that never sleeps. To be continued.... Previous Entry Next Entry
