moonchild: NYC- December 28, 2015

Today at 3 am Rae and I left for our journey to New York City! Once I arrived to the JFK airport I took a uber to where out Airbnb (cheap form of accomidation where you stay at people's places when they are out of town). Since I was 2 hours early in advanced to when Rae was going to arrive, I sat at the cute, local coffee shop below our Airbnb. It was called, little Zeldas. I befriended the barista, Doris, and we hit it off instantly. I was there with her for three hours. we talked about our lives, traveling and all the works. She had lived in NYC her whole life and is an inspiring actress! Cool fact, she went to high school with ansel, the actor from the fault in our stars! She invited us out tonight with her friend, James Daniel. We went out to eat to this cute, little taco restaurant called, kimchi tacos. It was devine, spectacular food. We stayed here for a while chatting, laughing, and really getting to know eachother! Our first New Yorker friends! We then walked to this pub right by our apartment. It's called crown inn. It was a very warm, cozy, inviting environment. I had this delicious, local cider, decendant cider. Before we knew it we were feeling buzzed. I went outside for a cigarette where I met these two, nice gentlemen that I mistaked for being gay! We all laughed about it and soon our other friends left and it was just Rae and I and these two guys. We sat at this intimate booth that was lite by candlelight. I was in deep conversation with Nicolas, the adorable, man bunned Colombian. We talked about music, feminism, sex, books, documentaries. It was very nice. For the first time I didn't focus on whether the guy sould like me or though I was cute enough, I let go of my insecurities and just was me. It worked beautifully for me. After hours of conversation we ended the night both expressing how much we appreciated meeting eachother and how stimulating the company was. Spectacular first night in Brooklyn.
