A New York Minute

I visited a friend from college that lives in Brooklyn the earlier part of the week with my bfffs Tre and Reggie. We had an awesome time. The picture is from the balcony in her apartment. We had just gotten into town; it was about noon when I took this picture.

Our trip started at 5 a.m. in D.C. We were scheduled to leave on the 6:45 train from Chinatown and to arrive in NY at 11. There was a lady on the bus that had this red, light brown and platinum blonde dread like things growing from her head and she was the highlight of the entire bus ride. We mostly slept the way there because we had arisen sooo early that morning and so that once we got to NY we could tour the city.

The bus let us out on 34th & 7th Ave, right by MSG. We walked to the train to go to Brooklyn. After not knowing where to board the train for about 30 minutes we finally found a chick inside of Staples that told us where we could go. We went to Leigh's house in Brooklyn and dropped our stuff off and left back out with her. We rode the train to Columbus Circle and that was my first time ever being in Central Park. We saw NYC pigeons as fat as cats. After we left Central Park we stopped at White Castle by MSG and ate. I had a number 1 cheese on everything and it was $7.18. R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!!!!!!! After that meal we caught the train down to Soho, went in a couple of stores, bought some stuff and went to 5th Ave.

By this time we hd walked so much that my feet felt like they were going to just give up on me if I continued to walk. Oh but I did; we did. We started at the underground Apple store and proceeded to walk about 10 blocks down 5th Ave just to window shop. By now all of our feet were on fire. But we kept walking. We got lost and had to ask the pigs where the train was. Neither Reggie nor I was going to ask so that ade Tre the designee. "Good morning. How ya doing? Good night. Happy Holidays. Where is the closest A or C train?" (for reference see Anderson Cooper interviews Cam'Ron) are all of the phrases allowed to say to the cops. We found the train got back to Leighs house and were hungry. So we got Popeye's, maxed it and were looking for a place to smoke. We found this little hot spot in a park adjacent to a playground at an elementary school. We chilled there smoked the L and sat and talked. We walked back to the house and the night was over.

That was only Day 1.
