i've been in new york for a total of six hours and so far i've eaten coconut fried shrimp (looked kinda like frosted mini wheats), walked around union square, washington park, bleeker street, and down 5th ave. i've ridden the subway and taken three cabs (nearly got whiplash). i also ate indoor smores and a latte at the DTUT coffee shop (that's Downtown Uptown for you southern folks). i'll also let you in on a little secret, but keep reading at your own risk as i may have to kill you: i think the indoor smore roasting concept is fabulous and i fully intend to open a similar establishment in fort worth. maybe some fondue, too. definitely live music. speaking of which, if i find a spare guitar and an open mike, i may try to get discovered here in the Big Apple.
