NYC BABY!!!

So...my first 2 days in NY!!!  And I'm loving it!!!  Ok, I took Virgin America..and it was a GREAT flight...cool blk leather chairs...my own row to myself...I go into the bathroom and there is actually music playing while I pee!!! Ha!  My bags came out really fast...though I was a bit sad that I had to pay $10 for an extra bag...plus, the carts cost $3!!!  I had to take a car service to my friends place in Brooklyn...but, I made it ok..and it's pretty cool here.  I've never actually been to this part of town...it's nice and quiet and Nancy (my friend from High School) lives in a really cute apartment. 

So...let's see...first day, I took one jazz class....I was supposed to take a tap class as well..but, decided that I didn't want to take it since there was a sub teacher.  So...I thought, it's ok...first day, got to start slow....so, I took time to go to the post office and mail out a few resume and headshots....and found this really cute little organic market called Westerly Natural Market on Eighth Ave on the corner of 54th St.  It was pretty good....they had a lot of things that Harry would definitely approve of....I didn't actually check to see if they had meat or not...but, I think they were pretty well stocked....plus, Nancy told me that we could order groceries online at a site called freshdirect.com  It's sooo cool...no need to even go there...you order your food online and they deliver it to you!  And there is organic food as well!!!  So, we did that...and the food arrived today!  So...today I took 2 classes...jazz funk...with a teacher that was very much like my teacher, Angela from Studiodanz in HK.  It was a fun class and made me miss Angela...and I also took a lyrical jazz class....LOVED IT!!! 

So, after my dance classes I had to head back to the apartment to open the door for the deliver people from fresh direct.  Afterwards, I met up with my friend Ann, whom I haven't seen for 10 yrs!!!  It was sooo good to catch up with her.  We met up around 6 and ate at this place called Gusto grilled organics.  It's a new place that opened a few weeks ago on 6th Ave.  The atmosphere was very cute...with these tall wooden chairs..and very simple decorations...and the food was VERY YUMMY!!!  I've never had filet Mignon before...and I'm not really a beef fan...but, this was WONDERFUL!!  Tender, juicy...and no fancy sauces....it was really great!!! Ok...the price..well..I'm still trying to feel out what the prices are in NY..but, I think that for the serving, the quality of food, the atmosphere, and the service...well...I think it is all worth it.  I'll have to write a review about them .....

And so, to top off my wonderful reunion with Ann....I took an express train that took me 4 stops past my stop.....and had to do a turn around to get back on track....walking alone for 3 blocks..in the cold...holding my purse to the point where my fingers started to have no feeling....but, I finally made it back.....good night!
