To Philly And Beyond!
admin on Aug 27th 2007
I took a Red-Eye on Continental Airlines to Philly, landed at 10 am, and headed to the School Of Dentistry to visit a friend. We hung out and took a $12.50 bus ride (P2P Bus) to NYC. It took about 4 hours because we were smart enough to leave at 3:30 pm on a Friday!
We got to the hotel to meet up with the rest of the group and got rushed for some restauraunt for reservations. We were staying at the Doubletree on 51st & Lexington, which was NOT worth the $320 a night. Sigh, this is what happens when you let others make decisions!
We got to the restaurant, Leelah’s Lounge, which served the shittiest indian food I have ever eaten… ever. Then I started to complain about why the hell we were eating indian food before going out drinking and dancing! I already felt the runs brewing in my belly!
A group of 13 people headed out to go bar hopping around that area, which quickly grew old. That is when the magic started happening. The people finally decided to go to the Lower East Side and bar hop around there! I wanted to start at Piano’s, but they decided to start and FINISH there too! BOO! BOOOO!
Piano’s was a decent place, upstairs had a dance floor with hip hop for $5 cover. The bartenders where fucking morons though. Apparently, they were doing it for 15 years and had never heard of the shots I was requesting. We were there until 4 am, when we decided to have some khap kalash and crab juice kebabs and cokes in front of the place. For some reason being in NY made me feel like I owned the planet. When this black guy came up to order kebab, I told him:
“Sorry buddy, you have to go through me first if you want to order kebab”
“What are you, the guy who heads the kebab industry around here?”
“Actually, I am. And since you are standing there in front of the BBQ, enjoy Eau Du Kebab, on the house”
The moron actually was buying it.. None of us were drunk either because, well, we had indian stew in our bellies.
Total Cost: $400 (why didn’t the rest of the group buy shots too?!)
