New York Likes You As A Friend

Lessons from the Big Apple. Melissa can feel free to add. Since she lives there, I think she probably learns a lot.

1. On Taxi TV, do NOT press and hold. Just tap. Regis Philbin says so.
2. The Anchor is a great place…if you want to get smooshed and like the thrill of suffocation.
3. Cherry pancakes from 3 Star diner are pancakes with pie filling. Rich, gooey pie filling.
4. My sister travels with an audio splitter in her purse, in case anyone needs to hear a song or watch a video on her Ipod Touch. She’s big on sharing.
5. Sinead O’Connor is banned from SNL.
6. Melissa and I are capable of restraining ourselves in the presence of celebrities* we love. (*Scott Adsit from 30 Rock at improv show at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater)
7. NC really needs to ban smoking in bars. It makes the world a better place.
8. You can wander the streets in heels (not supposed to sound like a hooker reference) for hours and will never find a better place to stop than One on the corner of 9th Ave and Little West 12th. I had to look that address up just now because we never really know where One is located. It just always appears when we are desperate, like a mirage of a lake when you are stranded in the desert. Except, it is a mirage where you can order drinks and they treat you like you are important.
9. I didn’t learn anything from this but when we were at One, I saw these chicks accidentally walked into the men’s restroom and it was hilarious.
10. My sister really knows how to break it down to the sweet rhythms of 80s/90s music.

I had a really good list in my head, but now I’ve forgotten. I think I’m tired. After all, it is 9:46 p.m. I’m watching DVRed How I Met Your Mother. Hilarious.

  1. I also learned of the hilarity that is Demetri Martin.

  2. Pete: Were you the ladies that accidentally walked into the men’s restroom?

    Me: No. [Scoffing sound]

    [Pause]

    I don’t think so. Wait, I’m not sure. I don’t *think* so.

    Pete: ?

  3. Did you learn anything in SCHOOL?

  4. Don’t worry. It wasn’t us.
