One of the things I find so exciting about New York is the energy; it's as if this city has a life of its own and could rotate and keep going with or without you, kind of like an independent woman. Last night me and my girl Tracy Brown, author of best selling book White Lines, discovered another part of New York. Thinking that we were just going to have a little girl time on a Friday night after work consisting of talking, analyzing men and women, love, life; you know, all the the things that are relevant to most women, we stumbled upon the Museum at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) and could not contain our excitement over the turn of the century and Japanese fashions. After almost being kicked out due to their closing time and my defiance of taking pictures, we decided to just walk the streets and have New York lead us to the next exciting venture. We ended up in the Meat Packing District, an artsy, vibrant, Sex and the City part of New York. We were in awe of the street art and the creativity of these artists. What we thought were paintings of Bob Marley and Ray Charles were really broken pieces of vinyl records. The pink heart is made up of a collection of spray cans. Who thinks of that? And I even chilled with Andy Warhol. The minds of these artists are crazy, complex and creative, making the streets of New York their canvas leaving us, New Yorkers, to pick their brains and figure out how they would come up with such things. In our exploration of New York we met random people who wanted to join in on our fun and take pictures with us, adding to our experience. You can never go wrong with this place. After leaving Meat Packing I just had to take her to a squawky cute restaurant in SoHo, Bar 89. It's such a great experience for the people who are coming for the first time. The food and bathrooms are the best part of the restaurant, don't ask, just go. What we thought was going to be a three hour after work get together turned into a seven hour night out on the town courtesy of New York.
