Three-day Cultural experience in New York City
Had wonderful
cultural experience in New York City via three off-Broadway shows, two
tip-based walking tours, three beautiful parks, one Bollywood bar, and most
importantly one old friend to-be-transferred back to Taiwan in July.
Adrift started from the notorious Rivoli
Nightclub in Havana, Cuba with four showgirls performing
their last act before leaving their lives of sin, sex and self deception and
set off aboard a raft to pursue life, liberty, happiness and rich husbands in
America. It only cost $10 and came with a
complimentary Cuba Libre (rum and coke).
Shut Up Sit Down & Eat... was performed in a theater in the Little Italy. This is what happens when 4
Italian American people show up for a group therapy session and the doctor
never show's up. I enjoyed this hilarious dysfunction and laughter.... Italian style. You can book off-Broadway shows at $10 at http://www.tdf.org/TDF_ServicePage.aspx?id=56&%20do=v Or use a student ID to get $20 discounted Broadway tickets, or stand0by 2-hr before the shows for $30 tickets, or walking in he 2nd-Act for free as if you dare. LOL
The Graffiti and Street Art Tour was fun and colorful. I saw quite a few interesting urban canvasses. The tour guides explained
the Graffiti-keep-youth-clean background and stories/styles of many famous and
not-so-famous artists.
The Grand Central Terminal tour guide was very knowledgeable about its wonderful architecture and pulsating vibe. Apple rents a space therein at one million dollars a month while making 18 millions a month therefrom. You can reserve these informative tip-based walking tours at http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/new-york-tours/tour-calendar/
The Van
Cortlandt Park has a nice historic museum and great open space, the
Wave
Hill Park has the best view over Hudson River, and the Washington Square
in the East Village has many musicians, including a great pianist who
rolled the piano into the Park and played great music.

Nunsense is a 'funny nunny' musical that was preformed in the beautiful St. Bartholomew's Church. After
a cooking mishap leaves 52 sisters dead, 5 of the surviving Little Sisters of
Hoboken organize a variety show to raise funds for the burial. These five nuns deliver a comedic and
heartfelt show. Adrift started from the notorious Rivoli

My return trip Chinatown bus was hold-up by a unreasonable passenger, stuck in a narrow alley, inch-through a highway session after Baltimore that was under maintenance, so I missed the last orange METRO train at 12:06 am. Lucky me found a ride from an Sudan old lady while waiting for the bus in Manhattan Chinatown. Her son picked us up at DC Chinatown and kindly dropped me off my parking place near West Falls Church METRO.
