Sex with the City

    Friday night was the first time that the city of New York made love to me. Wined me, dined me--the whole shabang. It's Sunday now, so I have to think back in order to recall every fabulous part of the night..

Tenjune

    Kristin, one of my roommates next year is in town visiting a friend of hers, Vikki, who is also interning here this summer. So we planned for me to meet them at Vikki's apartment on the lower west side. I was still pretty tired from work that day, but I took a quick cat nap and was ready to go. I left home at like 9:30 and made it to Vikki's about an hour later. So, for the sake of backstory, Vikki has bee here three weeks and met people through her fashion internship and from the friend of hers that she's subleasing from. The people she's met including club promoters, whose job is essentially to get people to a certain venue. So that night we were going out with one of the promoters she'd met named Angelique. But these promoters basically just schmooze you so that you want to keep going out with them and going to the places they take you. So first, we met at STK Steakhouse in the meatpacking district. There were some other girls there too, but once we were seated it was just delicious food and champagne until our hearts were content. Salad, this delicious bread with like spinach dip stuff on top of it, steak, chicken, potatoes, everything we could ask for. 
   Once we finished with dinner, we headed next door to Tenjune. There was like a line of people waiting to get in, but we were able to skip ahead and go right in. We had our own little area off to the side, and enough alcohol to kill a small army. Needless to say, it was a good night. We were there til about 3, and Vikki, Kristin and I headed back to Vikki's. It was an awesome night, and all fo' freeee, so I doubley loved that!
     Saturday morning I woke up on Vikki's couch feeling like death, and headed back to BK shortly thereafter. My friend Patrick from work in Columbia was in town for a Mets game with his dad, so I met them in Queens for lunch. That was exciting because I haven't seen Patty since our last day at work at the station a few weeks ago, and he's moving to Vegas in a week for a job that he got out there. So who knows when I'll see him again.

     After I got back home from lunch, I was couch-ridden for the rest of the afternoon. I was super tired and still didn't feel too hot. So I watched Real World until I finally went to bed at like 10pm. But my first night really going out in NYC was nothing short of passionate love making with this fair city :)
