Thumbs down I got 100 shots, 300 bucks, homey I'm from Newwwwwwwww Yoooooooooooork!!

Maybe like 144 shots, but it doesn't roll of the tongue. And you thought I moved. HAHA!!. I went in March a few days after that San Fran trip. I never really go to Lower Manhattan, so I thought I'd do that for a change, plus I had no other desire to do anything but walk around drunk......


Erykah Badu's Bag Lady has a potential soulmate.


Perfect wedding ambiance






After about 1 hour I finally found a liquor store. Whats up Manhattan?









What the fuck is that on the bottom left of that mural.


I somehow managed to get shots of the elusive buildings with outside fire escapes.






There's always the projects!


Miami aint got shit on NY


Dude was talking tough as hell as the other guy's pittbull came at his little Bounty fabric softener dog.


Yah, its like so edgy, perfect place for upscale retail.





Thats actually a photograph of Lil Kim



You could almost imagine it being the 80's. Almost.




















Thats like some colonial shit right?




The pleasant courtyard at the hostel.


I went to Brooklyn cause I heard there were some clubs and shit on Bedford Ave.






Tense hostage situation





















Great to see kids still carrying on pure hip hop.







I actually took this drunk, singing Harold Melvin to myself.


Its like a sitcom.







BREAK


And we're back, this time in July, with warm weather. This time I was with a friend who's never been so I strayed more towards the touristy side. But at the same time, its one of my friends, so we just stumbled around drunk and high too!


You think Al Pacino will pick up if you call?




Mi haffi walk a through a dem bombaclatt crowd


IS there a deal on Hotels in Tokyo I'm missing??


NYC, where train stations look like factory loading docks.


Sorry Kanye, I don't do drugs.



Its the projects again!! We must be getting close to Coney Island!!



Disneyworld has Main Street USA, Coney Island has hand tagged signs and Popeyes!




I kid you not, they were playing a Fabolous mixtape at the arcade, cursing and all.




Once again, Miami ain't got shit on NY.





Is that the Joker on the sign?



Hey kids, LETS WATCH SOME TORTURE!!



My domain.








Does god have a different word every day like Sesame Street?









We're off the Bridge.









Hey its the cast of the movie Kids!!



Look at that prime real estate yall!



Tropical paradise in Little Italy.


I ran into some cat freestyling on the street and he told me about some battle they had in this club around the corner. and he said it HAD AN OPEN BAR FOR 5 DOLLAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!


old School


New School


I didn't battle, I drank. But I was drunk and took this.



Then I rocked a wife beater in the Sauna Subway 103 degree hellbasement and did pushups and shit at 2AM, but no pictures.

Bleh, anti-climactic ending.

I enjoyed the comments.

As a resident of a relatively new city, sights like this blow me away:



"In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway."

Living out here in Nowheresville, I miss when the sky gets pink like this.

Stupendous set.
