New Ham City

40 Things that happened Before, During and After New York.

1. Mike got questioned by the US Home Land Security Team at Toronto Pearson.
...perhaps this had something to do with it....Those glorified security guards are not huge fans of Mohawks.
















2. We got to fly on the WORST AIRLINE EVER. Northwest Airlines SUCK ASS.

3. We got to spend 4 hours in the Detroit Airport.
Surprisingly one of the coolest airports I've ever been to (strange for the poorest city in the United States...gotta love America)

4.We ate at a dodgy curry house and survived.

5. I got to live out my dream...



6...... Twice.

7. We ate at a great Italian Restaurant in Greenwich Village and had a waiter who was older then New York City. He had the shakiest hands ever, but he insisted on pouring our wine every time our glasses looked like they had a slight sip out of them. He managed to get most of the wine in the glass too. He was cool.

8. We went to a pub in the Bowery that gave 2 for one Guinness.

9. We went to the oldest Irish pub in New York City. I saw 3 willy's in less then 8 minutes. And squeezed past a load of twats to go take a piss, and left quickly afterwards.










10. I got my bangs cut, and Mike got his Mohawk more Mohawkey.















11. Got pissed at the coolest Irish Pub in New York City. Paddy Reily's.

12. Walked the shit out of the city.

13. Saw some BIG ASS Balls!














14. Walked the shit out of the city.

15. Went up and down the escalator's at Macy's... With glee.














16.Enjoyed the view from our hotel room window.














17. Thoroughly enjoyed the choice between either blistering hot, or hypothermia inducing cold showers at the Gershwin Hotel.

18. Walked the shite out of New York City.














19. Forced Mike to eat a large Pizza.














20. Waited for Mike to get a tattoo.














21. At the Chelsea hotel.

















22. Ate at the best Diner in the City, Malibu on West 23rd St. mmm...heart attack!

23.Celebrated our 3rd year anniversary at Spice Market restaurant in the Meat Packing District on New Years Eve. Super cool atmosphere, super bland food.














24. Paid $10 US for a bottle of Fiji Water. We had a choice between, "Pellegrino, Fiji or New York Tap". The waiter was a bit of a waz.

25. But I looked great!


















26. Celebrated New Years Eve at Paddy Reily's Pub.














27. Got up on a Rainy New Years Day and walked the shite out of the city.


















28. Loved every minute of it.

29. Ate some of the best pastry EVER. Probably gained about 5 pounds in 3 days.

30. Had our flight cancelled from New York to Detroit 20 minutes before boarding, due to "weather". Our flight was the ONLY flight to be cancelled in the entire New York area. Was told the next flight was not until the next morning at 6AM. Thank God we had insurance. EVERY flight out to Toronto was sold out.

31. Thanks to RBC we stayed at the Marriott Laguardia, had prime rib for dinner, bought all the snacks and magazines we could get, and made a bunch of phone calls home and had the best shower we had in 3 days.

32. All at the expense of RBC.

33. Learned early on that Northwest Airlines is THE WORST AIRLINE EVER.

34. Boarded our flight on Tuesday at 6AM, bound for Toronto via Minneapolis, Minnesota.

35. Northwest Airlines is THE WORST AIRLINE EVER.

36. Made it home 20 hours after we were originally scheduled too.

37. Made it through customs without having to claim my shoes!!! YAY!!!

38. Fell in Love with this guy all over again.














39. Had the best time EVER.
