Where else can you eat foccacia and drink cappucino whilst watching seminal films like The Year Punk Broke.

Small and classy. Supercool. Excellent place for a date of any gender.

Greenwich Village was the stomping grounds of my youth. When I was an early teen I used to travel there by subway so I could be amongst my kind. When I was really little I had heard about it from my father who said it was the place of the Village Voice and all the gays. Hehehehe….

There are so many incredible things to see and do there and the vibe is energizing. If you only visit one neighborhood when you’re in NYC this should be it.

So if you have never been to NYC you absolutely must see Times Square. It is wonderful. The only thing that sucked ass about the place is this:

Being a daring New Yorker I once went there around 2am by myself. Things were fine until I ran into a gang of the wretched men that call themselves the Israelites. By day they can be seen yelling at passersby both male and female that the Jews and the whites are the Devil…

But I digress…

So on this particular evening I was minding my own business waling with sneakers, blue jeans and my trusty backback. I was lost in thought and not paying very close attention to my surroundings. I found myself in the flash of an instant trapped between a gang of maybe 10 of these men and they started checking me back and forth between them like a hockey puck. I emerged unscathed.

I went to an elementary school 4 blocks from this grand museum. When it rained my friends and I used to pay a quarter between the 4 of us (Jean, James and Billy I hope you’re all kicking ass these days) and we snuck our lunch into the Egyptian tombs. Not a place where you wanna be when someone farts, btw…

It is possibly the world’s greatest museum and a must-see.

My tip is this: if you don’t have the money do not pay the suggested admission. Just smile and look confident and give ‘em what you can. Even a quarter will do, seriously.

Peace!

This is one place I would love to be able to visit before I die. I pray for peace in the Middle East and I think the whole world would rest easier if that became a reality. My reasons for wanting to go are a bit of a mystery to me, but I do know I view it as a sacred spot on this planet and I think a trip there when I’m a bit older would be excellent. Right now my daughter is too little for me to make the journey.

Coffee, rain, music… heck yah! Then there is my friend Brandi who lives there and I absolutely must hang out with her soon or I will burst. I imagine it to be a place that is in keeping with my values… and full of life… and grrrls! Oh I can hardly wait.

worked there during X-Mas season. total insanity but a must-see!

my hometown. gotta love it.

Amsterdam kicks ass.
