For Money

Back to work and it sucks.  At least I'll be in Atlanta over the weekend.

Nuevo Latino

We heard about a concert down at South Street Seaport so we hopped the A train down there.  The Delpnonics were supposed to be perform but by the time we got there everybody was leaving.  We asked a couple people and they told us that the Delphonics never showed up.  Too bad for us... Not like I care for them that much but whatever.  I had never been down to South Street seaport area so it was an experience.  Since I'm a greedy girl I was a little hungry.  Amy Ruth's couldnt hold me all day, especially since I had a Cosmo during my SATC tour and an Appletini at Chetty Red's afterward.  So we get to Cabana - this nuevo latino restaurant.  From first scent I was in love.  We put our name on the list and headed straight for the bar.  So now I am about to start working on my third drink... this time a Mojito.  That was good and because I was so hungry I had my tastebuds set on something good.  So we were seated after we finished our first round of drinks.  We had an outside table overlooking the FDR.  We could also see Brooklyn in the distance... very romantic though I wasnt with my baby to enjoy it with.  The view was cool nonetheless.  If you ever go there, get the Paella Valenciana (without the squid, octopus and other nasty stuff).  By the time we finished eating, It was time to go home and recuperate...

The Life of Carrie

I signed up for the Sex and the City tour. Why? Because I had to fill my days with something when my conference was boring and all my friends were at work. It was a nice tour. $35. Not too much and it was 3 hours. Since I am a fanatic, I got to see all of the famous places of the SATC crew from Jimmy Choo's store, Carrie's stoop, Miranda's gym, Charlotte's art gallery to Sushi Samba ... We even had cupcakes from Magnolia's bakery and Cosmos from Onieal's. It was interesting to say the least especially since our first stop off the bus was the sex toy store. Great stuff if you have 3 hours and $35 to kill.

Greedy Girl

Amy Ruth's.  Chicken and waffles.  Is there anything better?  OK... well maybe Roscoe's but how can something be so good? I had the best lunch today up in Harlem.  Everybody had been telling me to go to Amy Ruth's since the restaurant has some good southern cooking and all.  I finally decided to try it.  So I get off the 2/3 train at 116th street with one of my friends and realize that I am no longer in Manhattan.  Harlem is truly a different world.  You can definitely tell the difference.  Harlem is, well, more like home.  A place where my heart was.  So we get in the restaurant and on my way to my table for two I glanced at all the wonderful dishes I was seeing, mainly chicken and waffles.  Since that was what I saw the most I decided I'd have to try it.  3 wings and a belgian waffle.  It came out and I got so excited.  The only other time that I'd had chicken and waffles was at Roscoe's over 6 years ago so this was a treat.  One taste and I was through.  Heaven.  Or at least I thought.  It was great.  I was full.  And on my way to my Sex and the City tour... 

Bad Boys

So I guess I got a hook up.  Maybe a hook up but probably not.  Anyway, I somehow got tickets to go see the P. Diddy Bad Boys of Comedy Show on Friday afternoon.  Well, 4:30 so I guess it's pushing "evening"... but afternoon nonetheless.  I hope the show is good.  Most of the stuff that Puffy, yeah Puffy - the original, does is pretty good.  I saw A Raisin in the Sun.  And while there were a couple questionable scenes, overall he did a great job.  So, I got these tickets for the show Friday at 4:30 and man oh man these people sound ruthless.  There are not putting up with CPT.  Nope... not having it.

Set it off

Heard about it alot.  Fights on the train in NYC.  Well, I witnessed my first "almost" fight and it reads a lil something like this:

young black dude and his girl standing in the doorway.  older spanish guy gets on.  bumps black dude.  black dude has words like "dont touch me. dont be pushin me."  spanish dude says something in spanish then walks up to black dude like he was about to punch him.  black dude is like... "you tryna go to 125th..."?  mind you, we are at like 110th and going SOUTH so i dunno what that question was meant for.  they have a few more words and spanish dude walks back to his side.  black dude's girl tries to calm her boo.

Up and running

So... This is my first post.  Interesting enough I guess.  Guess it gets better over time.
