the rest of NY

I made the trip east to New York this past week. It was fun, sweaty, dirty, hilarious and long. I have never been east of utah, well texas, and i hate humidity more than i hate rapists (not true, but almost true).
never go anywhere without the NFTwe ate at lots of fun and cool places...
here we are at Gustorganics, (notice the head(sweat)band. Very fashion forward, i am)
yummy pinkberry, love it. (holla! Kelly Jo)
pasta pizza and broccoli pizza at Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn
k so not the cutest picture of me but it was SWEATY and hot, and early and we were in this darling little place called "Le Petite" Cafe in Brooklyn and it was so magical with waterfalls and candles and it was so cute and delicious. i had to give it a shoutout even though i look sick.
and here is the McDonalds we stopped for drinks at in the Financial District, and yes, that is a woman on a balcony playing the piano and singing. We were in the Orchid Seated Terrace above where there were fresh flowers on every table. SO WEIRD. train ride from Grand Central Station to Times Square, where right before we ate Cheesecake at Juniors, so delicious and i felt like Serena Vanderwoodsen in Grand Central...very cool place.
this picture is probably my favorite. Asian-tourist peace signs, jumping up and down in front of the mtv store like a complete idiot. It was funny. There were people stopping and waiting and we took probably like 3 or 4 of these pictures.

ok now for the real stuff....
New york is HOT. Its filthy, its crowded, and its HUGE. I never really knew this about myself until last week, but i never want to live in a big city. I mean i wont fight it, if thats the way things work out...but if it was my choice i would choose to live somewhere where folks rely on cars, play in the backyard, have real grocery stores, etc.
I dont hate New York, but i dont love it and i really dont see what the big deal is. Sure its rich with culture, talent and activities...and maybe i didnt appreciate it as much because i never wanted to leave the cold showers i took atleast twice a day. When youre sweating, nothing sounds fun.

I also saw some lesbians making out hardcore in front of me on the subway, lots of beggars, lots of unidentifiable liquids on the subway, and im pretty sure i got herpes on my hands from holding onto those rails on the train. WHY DONT THEY HOSE THOSE CARS DOWN EVERYNIGHT???
