So where to begin… been in NYC for over a week now and am loving it!
Explored a lot of lower manhattan, of especially the Lower East Side (dope) but I know i’ve barely scratched the surface here: Shopping, stickering, walking, eating, (Knicks vs Utah at) Madison Square Garden, Os Gemeos wall mural (sick!), Canal St, China town, little Italy, Soho, Noho, Lolita, East Village, Opera Gallery Ron English show (couldnt get into opening night tho, whatevs), Deitch Gallery, good sandwiches, Empire state building, FAO Schwatz (I am now the proud owner of a muppet, yes a muppet! dope!), pretzel dogs, beers, Buddakan restaurant (fancy but dope), Max fish, Katzs Deli, Cloak & Dagger (the Dim Mak x Alife party at Santos Partyhaus), ghostbikes, small bars, great cocktails, mexican food, rain.

And thanks to Chiz, BJ, Abbi, Karl and all the crew who’ve so far hung out, drank(!) and hooked me up with people, places and mad food! Yes the food here is good, I am totally surprised too.

Welcome to NYC!! Thanks to my friend Chiz at prettyghetto for taking such cool fisheye photos that I can steal for this blog!

So the Yankees won the world series right before i arrived and this track is being pumped everywhere! But as corny as this sounds, I’m f**kin loving it and inevitably the soundtrack to my first time in NYC, hell yeah.

So the Halloween party rocked until too many people came and the cops shut us down. Fake blood, sweat & capsicum spray… as they say. Thanks to all who contributed to make it happen and the party people for getting down. Good times!
