BACK FROM THE BIG APPLE

I'm baaaaaack...back to reality that is! I recently took a trip to New York to celebrate Shabayn's birthday.. We had a great time, but, it was hella cold. LOL! Anyone that knows me, knows how I feel about the cold weather.



Anywhoo...hit every spot you can imagine in just four nights...Arrived into JFK airport around 2am and did a driveby through the Big Apple. Great beautiful shots of Times Square, Madison Square Garden and other city spots. Hit up Broadway and went to see" Cat on the Hot Tin Roof" starring an exceptional and talented cast of TERRENCE HOWARD, PHYLICIA RASHAD, ANIKA NONI ROSE, JAMES EARL JONES. Renowned director and choreographer DEBBIE ALLEN directs. If you make it too NYC before it ends you must check it out! Okay, then we checked out the Shark Bar for dinner and realized that there must be new ownership because the food was horrible and the service was worst. We jetted off to the Hudson hotel to dance away our disappointment at the hip and trendy Hudson Hotel. Made a drive through 5th Avenue, Central Park and pass Union Station and the Columbus Circle...sorry no photos. LOL! Rode the subway, walked alot and met up with some friends at Pier 17 in the financial district to celebrate Shab birthday. Later that night we hit up the Lotus nightclub in the meat-packing district and danced the night away. Someone had more than his share of drinks---(CHECK OUT VIDEO AS HE FLEXES HIS MUSCLES-LOL) .





Next morning we headed off to Junior to attack a piece of their famous cheescake and do a little shopping,caught up with Shab uncle and aunt and had a fabulous dinner at the Spice Market and headed back to the room to relax...We were tired. Eating, dancing,drinking and shopping takes alot out of you. We had a great time! Hopefully you can join us next time around. Our last day out we took a stroll through Battery Park, said wuzzzup to the Ms. Liberty and I hit up some sample shops in the Village.
