I really do. Wednesday and Thursday, I was thoroughly enjoying New York City.
It was quite a spontaneous trip. Before Monday, I was just planning on my usual "ass sitting exercises". A friend of mine asked me to go and was going to pay my way. How could I refuse? Come Tuesday night, I got picked up to be ready for our flight in the morning. By 11 am Wednesday, I was in the city and would be there until 9 pm Thursday. It didn't give me much time for sight seeing, as he was mainly there to look for an apartment, but I got to enjoy Times Square and the surrounding area. The rest, I would simply call experiences rather than enjoyment. Like the Subway, the poorer sections of town, and the subway. Did I mention the subway? It was the only way we traveled throughout the city and might I say it was unpleasant. Generally crowded, rough, noisy, smelly, and hot. Back to the good, I loved Times Square. Absolutely loved it. It was like heaven for my gay self. The lights, the colors, the people, the stores; everything was awesome. I'd love to live right in town. We stayed in a hotel on 47th street, on the same block, so it was a quick walk away. Expensive, too. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it. Much of everything else was expensive, too, including food. I didn't eat much while there, but I did have some "famous" NYC pizza. It was good, no doubt, but I expected it to be like sex from all you hear about it. Angelo's, here in Brookville can make pizza nearly as good, but definitely lacking in comparison. I was surprised to find affordable clothing stores, however. One store in particular, H&M I think it was, had clothing that was priced about on par with the lowly JCPennies. It was all styled more towards my tastes and size, too. Needless to say, if I'm in NYC again, I'll probably end up leaving with 5 outfits instead of just one. I really like what I bought there. Fits me well and looks good. Another thing that looked good... All the guys. Damn, there were so many cute guys! My eyes were getting a work out. So were my legs. I believe I did more walking those two days than I have all summer. Even when all was said and done with, I had seen a limited amount of the city. I didn't get a chance to see central park, the statue of liberty, the empire state building, etc. Maybe next time. I can't wait to go again. He's moving in October, so I may get a chance to do so then. If so, I'll have to enjoy NYC to its fullest, perhaps even meet some of you New Yorkers.
For now, I don't have any pictures, but will. I took about 190 and am probably going to upload over half of them.
