President’s Day Weekend Trip to New York City

This weekend I took a trip with some friends to New York City. The trip started by going to a house party Friday night somewhere between M St. NW & Massachusetts Ave NW & and the Washington Convention Center. After the party we walked to Chinatown to catch the 3:30am Chinatown bus to NYC. Since I wanted Chinese, we got on the bus just in time, but everybody had to sit in different parts of the bus.

Once I saw out the window the {en:Statue of Liberty}, I knew the hard ride was almost over and could not wait to get to the hostel and get some sleep.

The hostel we stayed at was called the L-Hostel not far from the famous {en:Apollo Theater} in {en:Harlem}. I highly recommend the hostel, all four of us stayed in a comfortable 8 bed dorm, which was split into two small rooms of 4 beds.

Walking around Harlem, Tommy and I thought the gods have blessed us when we saw that somebody crapped on top of the car.

That night we all went to {en:spanish harlem} and ate Puerto Rican food at the La Fonda Boricua Restaurant. The price was good and the food tasted good. After that we crossed the street and had some drinks at the FB Lounge, which is owned by the same owner as the restaurant.

Sunday we did more sight seeing, passed by {en:Times Square}, went to the top of {en:Rockefeller center}, and ate some good German food and drank good beer at the {en:Hallo Berlin} Restaurant. After that, we went back to Chinatown to catch the 5pm bus back to Washington DC.
