Tomorrow morning I'm taking the Fung Wah down to NYC (which should be an adventure in and of itself, I'm sure). I'm meeting up with some friends that night, but I'll probably be getting in around noon so I'll have 8 or 9 hours to kill in Manhattan. I've been there before a number of times, but never without specific plans. I'll probably head down to 5th ave to the Apple Store to check out the iPhone, but other than that I have no idea what to do while I'm there.

Any suggestions? Anyone wanna meet up for beers or something?

Manhattan is pretty safe these days.

I like the SoHo shopping, and there is an Apple Store there too.

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty

I figure, but I'm not going to let progress stand in the way of throwing out easy jokes.

Shop. Eat. Try and find a clean toilet.

Winnerz!

But remember kiddies - you don't have to be high to check out teh boobies.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

I'm sitting in the Tampa Airport now, waiting for our much delayed flight. We're going to look at some apartments tomorrow, but in the morning we want to go down to the 5th avenue Apple Store.

I've got a buddy in town and we will be wandering around Manhattan tomorrow. Walked by the 5th Avenue Apple Store tonight and the line did a 360 all the way around the block. Avoid that place at all cost.

We might take in a Yankees game tomorrow night, too. PM me if you want to meet up for a beer or something.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

I'm typing this from an iPhone in the 5th ave apple store. Pretty sweet, though would definitely take some getting used too. Anyway, have had a good time here in ny so far. Sadly didn't end up meeting yp with anyone, but still was a pretty awesome trip.

(the more I play with this iPhone the more I want to get one of my own.)
