i'm back. wow. i had a really good time in new york. i took my mom for 3 days for her 50th bday. we arrived monday at penn station early afternoon. walked to hotel. went to e.s.b. (was with mom it was toursisty time) empire was funny though cuz i made a lil mastercard statement. tickets for 2 to e.s.b 40 dollars, number of floors to get to observatory deck 86, wait time to get to said deck 120 minutes, watching a girls dress fly up from the wind on top of e.s.b. priceless. anyways that was alright. had reservations made at becco, small nice italian place. dinner was amazing. over 100 italian wines only 25 bucks each. took a cab through times square at night, neat. next day started at st pat's cathedral. walking down 5th to hit up shops. had to see f.a.o. schwartz. people were playing chopsticks on the piano! there's a line to get into the apple store. i laughed at that. then went to the met cuz musuem of modern art isn't open on tue. the met was amazing. we spent close to 4 hours there. it got to the point where i was just snapping shots to look at things later because i wanted to see each room, i think i did. amazing. so much great work was there. after that met up w/ a friend and he took us to mcsorley's the oldest pub in nyc. they only serve light or dark beer. it comes in 6 ounce pub glasses. when you order a beer you get like 2 or 3 of these 6 oz beers. so ordering a round for a table 5 or 6 people, a dublin born mick waltzes out with like 20 baby beers in his hands. i got drunk. for an appetizer, they bring you american cheese, onions, a package of saltines and there's a horseradish mustard. pretty fucking good stuff. we did a lil more bar hopping then went to bobby flay's restaurant. i was lil drunk at that point and prolly didn't need to be going to a place owned by a guy i don't care for much. it was okay, as we had just got my drinks my friend mentioned he knew where mario batoli's place was and wish i had gone there. but again it was okay. i was prolly a lil loud and obnoxious there but fuck it. last day there took the subway into the bronx. had faboulous seats at yankee stadium. watched the moose pitch one of the better games he's had all season. it was a great time. but now you're in fenway and it's on! i'm going to sunday's game at fenway park, that will be one of the best times of my life. the pic of e.s.b i left up here is from the roof top bar of my hotel. it was a quaint lil scenester place playing beirut and what have you. but when you look up e.s.b was right there. my mom had a good time. so did i. i think for only 3 days we accomplished a pretty good amount. would've liked to have done more but fuck all that walking was getting to me. and the humidity. gosh. anyways if you're still reading, i love you
