Talk about Random

Last weekend my girlfriend Tova visited the City. I met up with her on Friday night, only to embark on one of the most random nights I have ever spent in NYC.

We started dinner off with cupcakes at Crumbs. Yes, I understand that this is backwards, but sometimes you have to prioritize. Then we headed off to Stand Burger for "real" food. I don't think that toasted marshmallow milkshakes with Absolut and an order of sweet potato fries count as a meal. Cupcakes, milkshake, and fries for dinner... who let me be a dancer?

The last time Tova was in the city was for the epic Today Show wedding so we decided to meet up with an old friend. Ok, he's not really and old friend, but he owns a handful of bars in the City and never fails to offer an amazing night on the town.

We met up at one of his bars and soon relocated to a bar that "a friend of his owns". We turned the corner to Southern Hospitality. Yes, Justin Timberlake's bar. We got giddy for a half of a second thinking that he could be friends with JT, but no, just the actual owner... the man who does all the work. Its an awesome place, but I am pretty sure they are pumping man cologne through the air vents. Abercrombie and Fitch style.

After a few drinks I headed back to Brooklyn. The train came and little did I know that I was about to get a dose of New York crazy.

I walked onto the train and a homeless man had tied his jackets along the bars of the train to divide HIS part of the train from the rest. It reminded me of the forts I used to make as a kid with blankets and such. Well, whatever you need to do to get some privacy, go for it.
I keep walking to find a seat since I don't think I was invited to sit in the homeless man's exclusive section. I head for an empty seat, only to find 2 to very large bones. I immediately was alarmed but then realized it smelled of turkey. They were two large turkey leg bones sitting in the seat. They were the huge turkey legs you buy at Six Flags or Disney World. How did... ? Umm needless to say I just kept walking.
At this point I went to the far end of the car and sat down, put on my headphones. I look up and there are four grown men in Star Trek costumes sitting across from me.

 All you can do is embrace the insanity .
