nyc-bound, 7.21.23

after a lot of traffic, i finally made it to nyc after 5+ hours. i linked up with my brother obeezy. we caught up in his apartment 3 floors up in manhattan before going to korean bbq. they had this kiwi strawberry ‘mocktail’ that was so fire. the food was aight. definitely not as much food as what it was priced. it was $60 something with tip for both of us and i wasn’t full. sura back in boston is $60 plus for all you can eat galbi, but still, the experience was great. afterwards, we walked around the city and ended up at this dive bar. i told o about my newfound love for shuffleboard, and he brought me to a place to play. the music was a nice mix of kendrick, drizzy, and r&b. at some point in the night, o and i got separated. i just sat down at a booth on my phone when someone comes and asks me if i’m saving the booth. i said no, and they had brought a scrabble board and asked if i wanted to play. i agreed and when o came back, him and i along with 6 others played scrabble. i hadn’t played in a while, but it was fun. so fun we didn’t even keep track of the score, we just kept spelling.

first night in nyc was a success.
