We're in New York

The manor where we currently reside.

We caught some trains uptown and went to Printed Matter, a massive zine shop.

New York Scottie

Stumbled across the Comme des Garcons store in Chelsea. Pretty amazing stuff.

Photobucket

There's a new extreme park out there. It looked fun but scary.

Photobucket

Then walked along the high line, a section of train line that has been converted into a public garden/walkway/art type thing.

Photobucket

Near the end of the high line is the Standard hotel. It's a cool building that people like to have sex in the windows for all to see. See if you can spot them. I didn't realise till after I took this, by the way. Would have zoomed in otherwise.

Photobucket

More walking down pretty streets. It's a particularly pretty area, Chelsea.

Photobucket

Then the West Village, home of lots of Marc Jacobs stores, rich 'Gossip Girl' type characters and the cupcake shop that apparently featured heavily in Sex and the City. It was madness in there. The bright red cupcakes are a bit of alright though.

Photobucket

Saw some really nice stores around there, including Freeman's, where everything is made within 10 miles of the store, and they have sewing machines in there and stuff. I found it quite inspiring.

Photobucket

Had a quick bite at the Hommus Place, a place that specialises in Hommus.

Union Square

Later, we went out for a few drinks and darts. Guess who won? Scottie.

Photobucket

Will Brown! We drank beer in cans, served in beer coolers from the bar. There are free twizzlers (raspberry liquorice) and cheetos also. What a fancy establishment! No wonder Sam recommended it.

Photobucket

Later, we adjourned to the taco van for sustenance.

Photobucket

So good.

Photobucket

Scottie eats here a lot.

Photobucket

The challenge began to land various tricks on Will's cruiser board. Everyone rides these things here.

Photobucket

Paul sat it out.

Photobucket

Scottie utilised the power of various ladies garments hanging on the fence.

Photobucket

It created quite a scene

Photobucket

Sarah and Andy looked on, amused yet keeping their distance.

Photobucket

Then we got a slice of pizza. Hence - no hangover!
