Today was a pretty low key day. The roommates and I went to Central Park and tanned. I then made the first journey to the New York Health and Raquet Club. I wanted to attend Hatha Yoga but confused the times. When I tried to leave I must have written down the wrong locker combination and had to have the lock cut. It was quite embarrassing. The NYHRC was really really really impressive. Like the rest of the city, very overwhelming. It isn't like good ol' BUFF!
Since Sex and the City Movie comes out on Friday we decided to see the very first show. We brought in the movie right with drinks and then the movie. We found a nice rooftop bar called Me Bar behind our building. It had a great view of the Empire State Building. We then went to the 12:01am show at a local theater. There was a crazy buzz everywhere. The line was soooo long and everyone had really stylish clothes. I'm not going to lie, I went to Forever 21 today and bought a new outfit for the occasion. =) I really enjoyed the movie. It was funny because the character Jennifer Hudson played was a girl from St. Louis that lived in an apartment with three girls at the fine age of 21. Does that sound like someone we know?? =)
Speaking of St. Louis, a group of people made a comment about St. Louis that I did not appreciate. When "Louise" was talking about St. Louis, one guy in the group behind me said "I thought only hobos lived in St. Louis!" I almost had to get up and turn around and display my recent "New York Attitude." I decided to not make a scene.
Seeing this movie really made me want to live in a certain New York City. I have found that there are very many different New Yorks even though they are in the same city. I hope I will eventually find the one I am in love with. I know it seems kind of confusing when I type it, but if you compare all of the shows on TV (Law and Order, SATC, Gossip Girl, etc.) each one portrays a different view. I know it is sad and I can never live the movie or tv show, but I like the New York the SATC characters live in. Who knows...maybe someday.
Another great aspect of the movie was the clothing...maybe that's why i like their new york...it was phenomenal! I wish I could throw an outfit together like they do! Since moving here I have learned you can wear whatever you want and still fit in. You can wear any color schemes, patterns, whatever you want and still look amazing. It's truly the thrown together, but put together look that I envy. People walk around in crazy clothes with confidence and look great. I noticed today when I was buying clothes that I was a little bit more daring. I definitely bought some items today that I wouldn't think of buying in St. Louis. I hope my NYC wardrobe will work in St. Louis. If not, I will proabably have to go back to my old, comfy stlye. =(
As we were walking out of the theater there was a camera crew interviewing people for the Channel 4 News. I was sooo close to being on TV twice this week!
Well, today was probably one of my more normal nights in the city. I'm sure as time goes on more and more of these nights will happen.
Per my sister's request, I started taking more photos. I promise they will be posted tomorrow in a slideshow.

Sam - I LOVE the blog idea. You're giving me great ideas for a date night when Bobby and I find a babysitter.....do you know anyone in NYC that loves kids and knows how to take the subway to the Staten Island Ferry? There's a nice home cooked meal in it for any volunteers....:)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you that you got to see the movie. Was it good?
I'm just in awe of your opportunity here in NYC. I hope you get so many wonderful experiences...and not too many more times lost on the Subway. We're here whenever you need us.
Keep the NYC stories coming I really enjoy reading them.
Definitely getting in the New York spirit quickly, home at dawn, work a little later! So jealous of having an entire summer to explore from one end of New York to the other. Definitely try Caviar Russe, especially if you can get someone else to pay. I think it is about 54th and Madison, but my memory may be off.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the postings & the pics, at least we can all live vicariously. Hopefully you can make it out to the West Coast so we can show you the flip side.
