A few friends came to New York this past weekend and it was a great time.
Some highlights include:
Some highlights include:
- Drew singing "In A New York Minute" every day in the shower
- Pearl River Mart in China Town. That place is fun!
- Me accidentally taking Joel to an African male gay bar for an afternoon drink. They were so nice and they had a live DJ at like, 4pm! Joel thought it was funny that I completely skipped over the sentence outlining the demographic of this bar in my guide book.
- Every meal I ate made me so happy. Especially Veselka, a Ukranian restaurant on 2nd Ave @ 9 St.
- McSorley's Old Ale House, established in 1854. Half pints of light and dark ale is the only thing served at this place.
- The cabby from Time Square to the East Village adjusting the radio stations based on our conversation
- Rockefeller Centre. A beautiful view of the city
The above photo is of the recruitment centre for the US Army you may have heard about, smack dab in the centre of Times Square. Very bizarre. As if the overkill corporate signage and consumerism, blaring music and swarms of pushy tourists makes you realize how badly you want to fight for your country's freedom. Sign me up!!

Way to capture New York with such a robust, and mature collection of photos. I anxiously await the slide show at ur home, and evening of lights and darks served 4x4?
Hey Val , it's me, Elana from Humber! i found my way to your blog through Josh's page. Apr. 22 is my birthday and just loved your post. Just to let you know the reason you enjoyed your meal at Veselka, because the name of the restaurant means rainbow in Ukrainian. Hope to see you gig soon!
