Little Italy, Chinatown and bringing the party to the hostel

We were doing an experiment, drunken shopping in the daytime. One beer on each pub, then move on. We went through SoHo this way, then decided to start a party at the hostel.

Little Italy, Chinatown and bringing the party to the hostel
Like the tourist bums we really are, we just had to paper bag some beer. Cheers!

We always end up in SoHo, it's kinda weird. Once down there, we went into a small shop and got two Budweisers in brown paper bags. Standing on the corner, drinking from the bags and watching out for cops, fun stuff!

Anyway, walking the streets of SoHo, we discovered where the pretty girls were at: Little Italy was crawling with beauties! Babewatching on the streets was fun, but we even had to create a secret: so everytime we saw a hot girl, we'd say "Deilig" and nod in that direction.

About a hundred "Deilig"s later we came to Chinatown, and went shopping for a a bit. They have the weirdest stores down there, selling all kinds of cheap crap.

Heading home, we decided that there was not enough going on in the hostel lounge. That was a real problem, but we had a perfect solution. We had been in a licquor store, and went down there armed to the teeth: rum, gin, vodka, coke, sprite, orange juice and four cans of red bull.  

We put the bottles on the table and started mixing drinks, and during the night people joined in, either drinking from our bottles or running to the store to get their own. We turned off the damn TV, got our laptop and speakers, and partied all night until the lounge closed at 3.

Dancing all night at Webster Hall

Dancing all night at Webster Hall At the hostel reception, we met the cutest little asian girl we had ever seen: Kelly from Singapore. She told us she had just arrived, and had just signed up to the Club Tour arranged by the hostel. We signed up immediately, of course!

Battery Park and the Statue of Liberty cruise

Battery Park and the Statue of Liberty cruise After a few intense days of partying and being mostly hung over doing nothing during the days, we decided we should finally get our act together and do some touristy stuff. It was a bit late when we finally got up and moving, but we eventually managed to get on a subway all the way down to South Ferry, to go see the Statue of Liberty.

Drinking games at the hostel - I am moosemaster!

Drinking games at the hostel - I am moosemaster! We were tired and hung over, and just wanted to do nothing. But the crew at the hostel wanted to go out clubbing, and how could we resist? So after a quiet day midtown, we headed back to the hostel, dressed up, and someone pulled out a deck of cards.

Learning breakdance at the Graffiti Wall of Fame

Learning breakdance at the Graffiti Wall of Fame I'd really been looking forward to this: A visit to the Graffiti Wall of Fame in Harlem. And we were fortunate to have Alyssa, the hip hop dance teacher with us as well! We took the subway up there and had so much fun playing around in that schoolyard!

Day 3 - Getting our art on

Day 3 - Getting our art on After doing nothing yesterday, except sleeping in late and mindlessly walking around looking at the bright and shiny lights of Time Square, we had to do something crazy wild today. And what sounds more crazy then going to the new museum of contemporary art? El nada!

Roadtrip!! Desperately trying to get to a concert on time

Roadtrip!! Desperately trying to get to a concert on time We had two Jay-z tickets and one problem: The concert was like 200 miles outside the city, in a indian reservation called Mohegan way up in Conneticut. So we figured we had to rent a car to get there. And thus our US road trip began:

We have arrived!

We have arrived! After a delightful flight (yes, really!), a couple of train rides and a unlicensed taxi ride we finally arrived at Jazz hostel on Times Square. Hanging out on the hostel was more interesting than we thought, especially the roof was awesome!
