Hey fellers, how's it hangin'? I had another awesome day with the misses.... We went to a restaurant on the Upper West Side, which took way too long to get to, thanks to shitty service on the F, E, and 2 Trains.... once again, I am disappointed in you, MTA. This is how my would be 45 minute - 1 hour commute from Jamaica, Queens took about an hour and a half: The F train was going local into Manhattan, and I was going to Times Square, so I transferred to the E, only to find out that all the E's were running on the F line. -_-. Wtf... then why didn't they just say no E trains were running in Queens? Anyways... I basically got off one train (the F) and got on another train (the E) going the exact same way. So I had to transfer to the 7 to get to Times Square, since I was taking the E train that wasn't. When I finally got to Times Square, I found out the 2 train was going local, which wasn't too bad since I was getting off at 72nd, but what WAS too bad was how ridiculously crowded the platform to get onto the 2 train was. So here's what I think the MTA should do, even though they never will because they would lose too much revenue and they don't like to please their customers: take at least 25 cents off the fare at specific train stations when there are service cuts to that line? Makes sense, right? Does that sound fair to you? I mean it does to me, because if I am paying the full fare, I'd like to receive full service... ESPECIALLY since the fare just went up at the end of this past June. But enough of that nonsense... let me tell you about my awesome night in the city.
After the whole transportation fiasco, I had a very nice meal with my girlfriend at Nanoosh, a Mediterranean restaurant that specialized in hummus. The food was awesome, we both enjoyed it... After wards we got some gelato from a place a few blocks up, which was delicious. We walked through Central Park and heard some live music playing. As we neared the stage we realized it was Spanish music, and my girlf thought it sounded just like the famous Spanish singer, India. Probably like a minute later we heard someone say something like "Give it up for India!" in Spanish. So we walked over to the concert, and it turned out that it was free! We actually just missed India's set, but we caught part of the headliner, David Bisbal. I never heard of him until today, but my gf was excited to see him. He's a pretty good performer, very active and hyper on stage. So what are the odds of that, stumbling across a free concert in Central Park with some big name Spanish artists! Man, she and I really lucked out tonight.
It didn't take terribly long to get home, which was a surprise. Overall the night was pretty awesome. 'Tis now 2:30 in the AM, so I think I'll quit while I'm ahead. I have A LOT of reading to do tomorrow, so I might not post anything, but look for a new one anyway and if not tomorrow then def by Monday.... feel me? Peace.
