Nite on town

After many nights cooped up in the apartment, frantically trying to catch up with an insane amount of work I finally went out for a good old bar hoppin' night at the big apple. Hells' kitchen, a.k.a the new Chelsea, is crowded and over stylish for this thorny cactus. A few hours in a hip mid-town bar were more then enough and with a few good buddies I headed to my natural habitat, the East Village. The little streets and allies are the closest you get to Tel Aviv here. All sorts of types and a multi sexual crowd prowling the hood. We ended up at Eastern Bloc, a funky mix of old soviet memorabilia, hot sexy bartenders and stoned pole dancers. The crowed was great, the music a strange mix of 90's disco with newer house thumpa-thumpa. Drinks aren't too expensive and eager looks everywhere. Declined a few tempting offers (just wasn't in the mood) and had a blast fuzzy night. Highly recommended.

Two years as a flying consultants. Since moving to Miami I hopped off the clinical wagon and joined a group of talented hard working folks making it across America.

Based in Miami and commuting ( or jet setting if you will) all across this great land. And it's Big! Next: Delta Vs American Airlines.

Craigslist Scams

Craiglist is the best resource that a newly arrived New Yorker needs. First to find a place to put your weary head at night, then to find stuff to make the bare carpets more hospitable. Scanning the hundreds of daily adds provide a bizarre kind of entertainment and allows to find real bargains on almost everything. Apartments, desks, TVs or Iguanas. Its all there. I found my apartment this way, I also found all the furniture and appliances for ridiculous prices. How about doing it all at under 1000$? Cool. But I also came across some shameless scams that can leave the unsuspected naive with no money and a returned email. The first scam was actually very amusing. A 1 Br apartment in Chelsea, the nicest and gayest part of town, for 1500 $. Nice. I was striking gold here! The story got interesting when the person who responded to my add claimed to be a women living currently in Greece hence not able to show me the place, only photos. Theses were great and I was a newbie . "She...

Restart

Two years since my last post. Lazy bastard. No longer in the Empire state but a proud resident of the ever-sunny-yet-quirky Florida. After years in the big apple with occasional expeditions to the sunshine state our little family (two guys and a dog) packed our lives once more and migrated south full time for a fresh start. We survived a painful separation (long story - deserves its own post) and escaped the concrete towers to a new lush land full of trees, water, giant reptiles and Latinos. Having no state tax helped as well. Almost two years later it looks like the smartest choice I made so far in America.
