Cinnamon takes Manhattan North America » United States » New York » New York » Manhattan By Cin and Galib June 23rd 2007 Cinnamon and Galib The Big Apple I met my friend Sabrina in New York for a weekend get away. This was my third visit, so I am getting to know the city very well, although there is always something new to discover. In only a few days, Sabrina & I covered shopping at Filene's Basement, DSW, Tiffany's, explored Greenwich Village & Chelsea market, ate lunch at Morimoto's, had a picnic in Central Park, trekked through Lincoln Centre, watched the Pride Parade (which was apparently toned down this year) and with my friends Peter & Leslie, I ended the trip with attending a comic book convention featuring "David Faustino/Bud Bundy" and "Eddie Munster", and ... read more

Well everyone told me that New York would be amazing, but nothing prepared me for how amazing it really is. It is such a cool city, and there is so much to look at and so many things to see and do in such a short amount of time. The location of my hotel was absolutely perfect - right in the middle of Times Square on 46th Street, where all the action and craziness begins and never ever seems to end. My hotel is about 100 metres from the middle of Times Square and despite the fact that I thought the hotel would be really bad, considering the prices you pay in New York and the reviews I had seen, it was actually really great. Staff were also really helpful which was good, and because ... read more

Well, after a long 29 hours of flying we were greeted by the city that never sleeps by a 2 hour traffic jam. A trip that should have only taken 20 minutes from JFK to Queens. Jeva & Jamaal's cousin Jason, was volunteered to put us up for our stay in New York. Wasn't long before we met some of the locals down @ the nearby 'beer garden'. A few minutes into the conversation & I was asked what Aussies thought if Americans. I answered and said that most of the Americans I come across @ work are whingers. What? I'm not going to lie! The reaction I got wasn't all that positive. This guy then proceeded to tell me that he had been at a party with Paris Hilton once. Who cares! Our first couple ... read more

I felt like such a dork today. So dorkish, I used the word 'dork'. For the first time in my life I felt responsible? If thats the right word. I went and did my own laundry, and I thought for like, one second. WOW! I can actually do stuff on my own. It was hard, and I had to ask the lady about 6 times how to work the damn thing, but hey. Im pretty much packed now, I literally shopped till I dropped today. Really. My legs are dying, and I feel really bloated, so I look crap in my new tshirts. NICHT GUTTTTTTT. Anyway, Las Vegas at 11pm tomorrow night then onwards to oregano. Exciting : I wont be doing much there, only sleeping, reading, walking and swimming after next wednesday. I'll upate there, ... read more
