New York was...

Amazing.
I feel recharged. Ready. I forgot what a different type of mentality was out there. I was reminded that some things don't matter as much as people would like to make them out to.
I forgot about:
how you can buy 2 dozen roses from the corner vendor for 10 bucks
fresh fruit stands
how much I love the smell of street meat
Ray's pizza
That it's ok to stay in on a Saturday night, or go to a movie by yourself and that isn't pathetic or odd
Ghetto jewelry stores
diversity
never paying full price because i'm a cute girl :)
sitting in a bar and hearing a half dozen different accents telling stories
that who you date (or whether you're with someone or not) is not the most important thing in the world
fire escape chats
tall as hell buildings within feet of one another
people everywhere, all the time
a subway system that runs 24hours
feeling at peace among all the chaos.

The only things I don't like is the insane price of rent and all those people who feel the need to carry their teapot dogs around with them everywhere.
June 1st kids. Might have to make a change...

And Emily, I went to 305 and Molly Wee and took pics. There's a bikini bar around the corner now where the awesome cheesecake place used to be!
