A Plethora of Delights!!!

Oh my God...I sont know where to start...this week has been crazy....
I guess I shall start at the beginning.....
So firstly, last Sunday Paige took me to The Chelsea Flea Market which was really cool, lots of vintage clothing, antique jewellery, amazing furniture....we then went to this really nice place and had a cup of their famour Cold Hot Chocolate...its actually made from melted Belgian chocolate, it was divine!Spent some time in Tompkins Square which was having some sort of film festival thing where there was free beer and food, before we had a look at the Flatiron building!
Monday I had an unbelievable suprise.....I got a phonecall whilst at work....It was Andy saying him and Louise are in New York!!!So Plans were made for that evening and I introduced them to Blockheads!was great to catch up over Tequila!
Tuesday was a corker, ended up in this ridiculous Irish bar for a few wich wasnt so great....until later that evening, I had a hell of a rendezvous. To cut the story short....me in Strawberry Shortcake pajamas....1am...cigarette...Graham Norton!Couldnt believe my eyes!
Thursday was craziness....ended up back at the Strand bookstore off Union square...come on that place has 18 miles of books, managed to get a whole Tenesse Williams Collection for $2!!!I then went to gaze at the Empire State bulding once again before heading home to get ready for the evening ahead!!!

Well the delights of the night-time expoits...Me Nichla, Andy and Louise all met up at this Tex-Mex diner which had ridiculously big margaritas....we were all drunk off one!It was just a ludicris chain of events, Andy burnt his lip on the fork, Nichla was an hour late and went into the wrong place, made the mistake of having 2 of these industrial strength cocktails....so funny! We then got into a taxi where the driver appeared to be opperating a sex line from incide his cab so this brought on fits of laughter and eventually we made it to the meatpacking district!!!Following this we walked for miles and ended up in a really nice bar called 'Lift', quiet with a few seats outside, had a few drinks then noticed we were more or less right under the Chrystler Building so the views were amazing!After hours of chatting and giggling we had to leave when they took the chairs away!

Made it home around 4.30am , so much for a quiet night and woke up the following morning with the hangover from Hell!!!Paige was quick to make me get ready for the day ahead after force-feeding me a slice of 'Rays Pizza' and we headed on the almighty ride to the 'Cloisters Museum' in Washington Heights. Was worth the trek and Im glad I managed to be prised from my bed!Its an old monastry set in Fort Tyron Park,with lovely views of the Hudson River, it was really great!Decided to get the bus back and trust me this bus went EVERYWHERE which gave me a chance to see a lot of stuff I had never seen, Im more of a Downtown girl so I finally got to see Harlem, Columbia.......

Last night was once again a chain of events....arranged to meet Nichla for dinner in Little Italy, we ended up at this amazing place called 'Il Piccolo Buffalo' on Mulberry Street which had the most amazing stone oven pizza I have ever had in my life!Andy and Louise rang so they came to meet us and we all went for Tiramisu at 'Ferrera'!!From there Paige had invited us to a party at the 'White Horse Tavern' which was a shady little establishment full of cute Frat boys! It was a good night!!!
Today was really exciting! Decided to head up the the Malcolm Shabazz African Market in Harlem which was a lot of fun, amazing jewellery, clothes, drums!Loved it!Took a stroll into Spanish Harlem which was really interesting, a lot of kind of 'Hang Out' areas decorated with dolls in the trees, toys, mannequins, all very creative!From there we were in need of sugar so headed down to Magnolia Bakery...I just love the cupcakes from there!!!!Oh yeah and saw Carrie from Sex and the Citys' house!!!All in all exciting day!
