To see the wonderful things this place has to offer.
Yesterday my friends Megan, Amanda and I went to the village to see a screening of Southland Tales, the new Richard Kelly movie (Donnie Darko fame). The film was absolutely amazing. Definitely a different direction for Richard Kelly but same time-travel themes and such. We took the subway (the 6 to the V) and walked through the lovely Lower East Side. We visited vintage clothing stores, tattoo parlors, the awesome bohemian markets full of jewelers and such.
I visited my first New York City sex shop WITH a peep show in the back. THAT was interesting. But seriously fun. Had coffee at a TRUE coffee joint with those beatnik mugs the size of bowls. It was lovely. Spot's Cafe, check it out. The theatre is located on 3rd st. off of Ave. A. Two Boots Pioneer Theatre. This small indie joint. The theatre was a small screening room a very different feel from those mainstream places.
We went to an Afghani Restaurant for hookah and drinks and of course authentic Afghani cuisine. Unbelievable. What an awesome place to go to. I forget the name of it, but it's at St. Mark's Place.
Today, Megan and I decided to visit Chinatown. We walked through the REAL deal Chinatown, not the touristy knock-off areas, but the actual Asian markets that sold authentic imports and the we walked through the fish markets and the food district. We both purchased a knock-off item, a Prada briefcase for me, a coach wallet for her. I also snagged Juno, There Will Be Blood, Sweeney Todd, and Enchanted on DVD (Juno and TWBB were SAG copies...so the real deal, not filmed from a theatre, but burned copies of the DVDs sent to SAG members...LUCKY!!!)
We then went to the Elizabeth Center, now...this place u go down an escalator inside a building you're immediately transported into an Asian Mall. Honestly, a handful of shops that sold authentic Asian imports (anime, manga, sanrio, jewelry, clothes, etc) it was amazing.
Tonight my friends Megan, Caroline, and Danielle went to Chelsea to visit my good high school friend Catherine Garrison and to experience the NYC Rocky Horror Picture Show Cast. Now, keep in mind, The Rich Weirdoes are my loves. I tried not to be bias, but the NYC Cast did not have the energy, nor did they keep character during their performances. Orlando has the BEST of the BEST working on RHPS and NYC has some very not-so-into-it people. It made me miss the Rich Weirdoes even more.
Some serious photos are coming soon.
But for now this is all I have for you.
xoxo,
Sean.
