A refresher in awesome…
This weekend I had a little refresher in why I love city life so much when I took a trip to go gallivanting about the Five Boroughs with a friend of mine from prehistory (he did sing the Flintstone’s theme song during karaoke):
- Taking the subway everywhere, not having to worry about parking or traffic
- Noshing on knish ’round noontide
- BYOB karaoke bar (and people brought a lot)
- The Younger Than Jesus exhibit at the New Museum; it was amazing to see works by people in our generation, to see artists our age express themselves in new, innovative ways
- Walking around neighborhoods, taking in the sights
- Frequenting hole-in-the-wall eateries for such delicacies as curry katsu and mandu
- Walking past the Empire State building with a bag full of beer
- Barcade - a bar/arcade with old skool games at a quarter a piece
- The Mac store on 5th Avenue that’s a giant glass cube and that was packed at 9:30 on a Friday night
- Dropping $35 at a Kidrobot boutique
- Sake bar, even after having to sheepishly ask if they could recommend something cheaper
- Having some guy randomly call my friend and me cocksuckers for apparently existing
- Did I mention BYOB karaoke?

I’m pretty sure the Flintstones theme song is what got him banned from further karaoke last time we were all home. The guy there is quick to identify members of our group, though, and keeps an eye on us.
