It’s Holly

1. My subway stop smelled like sizzling bacon, every morning. How you gon’ be mad at that?

2. S’maaaaac: A restaurant that serves ALL macaroni and cheese, ALL day long? How you gon’ be mad at THAT?!?

3. Hiro: We didn’t know Sunday Night was cock night at Hiro. Jenny, Ryan and I went there thinking it was regular ol’ hip hop night, but lo and behold, it was Sausage Fest. Sorry Ryan.

4. World Trade Center - Ground Zero: Much more powerful than I thought it would be. The pictures on display almost brought me to tears. I had to turn away.

5. I got new hair: One of my co-workers recommended Ouidad salon. I had no idea there was a salon that specialized in ONLY curly hair! My hair has been waiting for this for 25 years. I was never taught how to properly style or take care of my hair. Vincent (the best stylist ever) taught me more about my hair in 15 minutes than an entire lifetime of trial and error.

6. Clarione, Daisy’s BBQ and the Red Velvet Cupcake

7. My first baseball game - The Yankees and the Indians

8. The Roof: Damn, I love that rooftop.

9. Meeting AJ: My cousin Angie had a baby 2 years ago, I finally met him when they came up to NYC for the day. He’s my favorite.

10. Rudy’s Bar & Grill: I guess the “grill” was the little hot dog 7-11 rotate-o type device at the end of the bar. Damn, I love Rudy’s.

11. PINKBERRY!!!!!!!!! My one true love. Treats me better than any man could.

12. Central Park

13. John Legend @ Madison Square Garden: One of my co-workers, who I’ll be forever indebted to, got me last minute tickets (literally, last minute - the tickets were in my hand 20 minutes before the show started) to see John Legend. I took Patrick, who I’ve known since I was 15. It was his first real “sit-down” concert. It was my 500th.
