Transition from Summer to Fall

It's weather like this weekend's that makes me l-o-v-e New York. The humidity is gone, giving us warm days with a slight breeze and cool evenings (like SoCal weather).

On Friday I had a food walking expedition with my friend in Ching Chong Town and had banh mi at a Vietnamese (they're really Chinese) store that a friend was raving about. I was expecting the crunchy, buttery french bread with pate spread and slices of pork...but the bread was mediocre and there was no pate spread! I can't blame my friend for hyping up the banh mi because 1. he's white and 2. he has never had Viet food from California so he doesn't know good Viet food. To make up for the disappointing sandwich, we had mini hot cakes from a street stall (eh), bbq pork buns (tasty), and taro green milk tea (tasty).


On Saturday I chilled on the grass by the river and watched people run/walk by. When I was walking along the river, a lady ran by in grey shorts and I could see the sweat marks in between her butt crack...that's kind of an awkward place to sweat. I also saw five English Bulldogs!


At night we went out to celebrate my two friends' birthdays at 205 Club in the Lower East Side. It's not really a club...it's more of a bar that has aluminum foil walls. They have a stuffy bottom floor that reminds me of someone's basement. The wooden walls had writing on it so you could read and dance at the same time. A lady was rubbing her body up against the wall (maybe she was blind and was looking for braille?) and blocked my view of the words. We got over 205 Club and went to our default bar, R Bar, which we will never go to again because we don't want to be with 21 year olds and Asians (my friend is racist but she makes an exception for me). We got over R Bar and went to another bar to meet my friend's friend. By the time we were done, we were starving and went to a diner by my friend's apartment, scarfed down eggs and toast, and went to bed at 5am.


The next day we went to Central Park to lay out. I wanted to get some color on my face before I turn pastey white. Why can't the weather be like this all the time?!
