Manhatten is awesome! I wish I could be here longer. I've treated myself to a couple of nights in the Gershwin Hotel - a cool boutique type of place inspired by the work of Andy Warhol. A little overpriced for what I got tho...but it's just around the corner from the Empire State Building & right next door to the sex museum!So far I have:
driven around Manhatten, which is quite an experience (even crazier than a Californian freeway); been to the sex museum (early 1900's silent porn!); been out boozing on 3rd Ave; wandered around Ground Zero (sobering - not recommended with a hangover); hung out at Moby's cool cafe in the Lower East side ( a very decent cup of tea); applied to be in the Late Show's audience; checked out the amazing NY public library; been out boozing on 5th Ave; been all over on the subway; walked 100's of miles around Manhatten; lost my cellphone; seen some crazy stuff in Times Square (and pretty much everywhere else really); checked out Macy's; been out boozing on 3rd Ave (again); amazingly recovered my cellphone from the security dept of the NY public library where it had been handed in - big thanks to all involved there!; cruised around the island on the circle line tour; biked around Central Park; and now have shifted into a very comfortable studio apartment on 64th St (less than half the price of the Gershwin, but just as comfortable - thanaks to www.lastminute.com !) for the remaining 2 nights - I'm staying longer because I got a phonecall (right after I found it again at the NY public library) telling me that I made it into the Letterman Show audience Monday night!
