Halloween in NYC TR

Halloween TR

So, I was inspired by Cisco’s birthday TR and I figured my Halloween night was def worth writing a TR for.

Time – 7:00PM
Location – Queens

So, I’m standing on the train platform in my Ghostbusters costume. Everyone’s in costume around me and I’m starting to get excited about the night. I was originally supposed to head into the city with about 6 people, and 1 hour before we were supposed to leave, they all cancelled. Some got into fights with their bf’s and such, I was pissed but I was planning on meeting up some college friends anyways so I figured I’d head into the city solo, since I’d be with a group most of the night anyways once there.

Riding the subway on Halloween is always interesting and fun in itself. At one point, when transferring to the 1 train at Penn Station I see this guy who looked like Wesley Snipes’ twin, wearing an all black outfit with a sword hanging off his back. He had shades on and the Blade haircut. I was impressed. When he turned around he had “Tax Evader” on his front sweater. Everyone was giving him praise because he looked exactly like him.

Time – 8:00pm
Location –Village, Manhattan

So the plan was to meet with my friend in the village. I get out at 14th street, and it was chaotic. There were about 100 people trying to get OUT and about 100 people trying to get IN. There are 8 turnstiles. We had to stop people just so we could use 1 turnstile to get out. I get out, and it’s raining. I had to run a few blocks to find my friend. At one point, I couldn’t get through a barrier so I decided to just walk with the parade. And as I’m walking, everyone’s cheering and taking pictures of me. I played along.

I find my friend eventually who’s dressed as Turk from scrubs. Nobody got who he was, he just wore scrubs. He says our other friend is waiting a few blocks away in his car. He’s picking us up and we’re headed uptown to a bar that was going to have an open bar. Cool. So as we step out to walk it starts pouring rain. But since there were so many people with umbrellas, we just ducked our way through the crowd and stayed relatively dry.

We get to the car. He’s dressed as The Mask. Hop in, weave our way through traffic and find our way to our first bar.

Time – 9:30pm
Location – McFadden’s, 42nd St (East side)

At this point, I’ll refer to my friends by costume. So Turk and I walk into the bar and up to where we have to pay. The girl asks him what list he’s on (apparently only people on a guestlist could get in). He froze, looks down at the board she’s holding, points to a random name and says “That one”. She nods and says Ok. We pay, get our wristbands and walk right in.

We get all our friends in, settle in a spot by the back and proceed to abuse the open bar like animals. I decided to drink Jack & Coke all night. It was a great time, we’re all getting smashed, everyone’s dancing, and we’re watching the Yankee game. Good stuff.

There were these 2 girls that were dressed as Beyonce. I didn’t realize it right away. They had on the tight outfit from her Single Ladies video:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVEGfH4s5g"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVEGfH4s5g[/ame]

I approach one of them (she looked at me earlier and smiled) and say, “I’m trying to figure out who you’re supposed to be.” She looks at me, and shows me her hand. She had on a glove with a ring on it. And she starts moving her head. It hits me. “Oh, Beyonce.” She laughs and asks, “Who did you think I was supposed to be?” I said, “I don’t know, I thought you were really into Ballet or something.” We start talking.

At this point, during my drunkenness I receive a text from one of my old HS friends. She was having her bday bash at some place in Soho, and it was on my list of stops for the night. The plan was stay at the open bar until it closed at 12, then hop over to her party and continue there. Turk, Batman & Robin (my other friend and his brother) were all going to go with me.

I excuse myself for a moment to use the bathroom and gather my friends. I come back and Beyonce disappeared. Half of the group decides to leave and the other half decides to stay.

As we’re outside gathering the group. I’m talking to Batman, and he says, “Maybe you should help him out.” I turn around and Turk is talking to this girl who’s with her friend and her friend is kinda by herself now sitting on this huge cement block. So I walk right up to her and start talking to her. She’s british and its her first time in NY. So we get into this conversation about how I say she’s on “vacation” and she calls it “holiday”.

Skip 10 minutes later and Turk says we’re leaving. I say bye to the british girl.

We leave and start walking toward one of the guy’s car who was in our group. Apparently we were going to meet up a friend of Turk’s sister (she’s Morticia from Addams Family). Pack the car tight and we’re off.

Time – 12:30am
Location – East Side, 2nd Ave (Between 53rd & 54th)

We park and we start walking. Keep in mind that the entire island of Manhattan is filled with people tonight. We’re following Morticia who wanted to meet with her friend. We get to a bar called Sutton Place. I’ve been here earlier in the year for a friend’s bday, and it’s a nice place.

We head in, go to the rooftop area and head to the bar. Turk decides to order me a Jack on the rocks. I decline, but he questions my manhood. So I chug. The friend his sister was meeting up was some girl he had a fling with and it was awkward and he wanted to leave.

Skip to 1:59am, and we’re still on the roof. My friend from HS is still texting me asking me where I am. I start getting a little impatient and worried cause it’s getting late. I look back down at the time, it’s 1am. I’m like, “Oh yeaaa, I forgot.”

We finally leave and decide to grab some food. We head into the nearest McDonald’s and eat. Afterwards, we’re outside deciding on what to do next. Morticia starts walking down the street with her friend and bf. Turk hails a cab and says, “Fuck it, we’re out!”

We’re in the cab finally on our way to Soho, just Turk and I. He starts talking to the cab driver and getting on his good side. He gets the cab driver to lower the fare for us. I don’t know how he did it, but he did. I’m cracking up in the back drunk.

Time – 2:30am
Location – Soho

Cab pulls up and we’re walking towards the place. It looks empty. Shit!

We walk in and there are still people there but it looks like it started to die out already. We walk up to the bar, order a drink. I text my friend and ask if she’s still there. She responds with, “Yes. Where are you?” I reply, “At the bar.”

In the distance I see a very gorgeous “Secret Service Agent” get up and walk towards the bar. She sees me and goes right in to hug me. She’s like, “Where the hell where you? You’re mad late.” I apologize and tell her that it was my goal to get here. “Forgive me and take a shot with me.” She laughs and agrees (she’s already pretty drunk). I ask her for her shot of choice, she say’s “Jameson”. So I reluctantly order 3 shots.

She takes the shot, her sister (who was working there) goes up to her. She introduces us and she tells SSA (Secret Service Agent) that her friend is really drunk downstairs by the bathroom. She excuses herself and goes to help.

So Turk and I are at the bar drinking a beer. When the bartender comes up and starts talking to us. He looks much older and not what you would normally see as a bartender in one of these places. We start chatting it up about random shit. Life, the night so far, sports, etc. He then asks us to take a shot with him, and he pours out 3 shots of Patron. We take the shot, thank him. And he gives us his card and says he’s the owner of the place. And he gets us another round of drinks on the house.

So 20 minutes pass and my friend starts getting tired and saying that she probably left and we should probably go. I convince him to wait another 15 minutes while we drink. I text her and she runs up within 5 minutes apologizing. She orders 3 more shots of Jameson. And we just start talking. I hadn’t seen her in years so we were just catching up.

Her cousin comes up to her and asks her if she wants to go to a different spot since this one seemed to be dead. She turns around and asks Turk and I if we want to go somewhere else. We agree and we all head out. SSA’s cousin had a car there and we tried to fit but there were too many of us, so Turk and I decide to grab a cab and meet them. SSA and her sister insist that they’ll take the cab with us. The evil grin appears on Turk’s face and I nod in agreement.

As we’re walking toward the corner to fetch a cab, she said she needs to grab something from her cousin’s car and runs back. So we’re looking for a cab, we turn around she’s all the way on the other end of the block. We see her start talking to some random stranger and she starts yelling. A cab pulls up in front of us finally. We turn around and we see her sister pull her away and they start walking back. SSA falls in the middle of the street. Turk says, “Let’s go man. She’s done and they’re all together.” I look back, and see her sister carry her into her cousin’s car. I’m like “Fuck! Ok, let’s go.” We hop in the cab and leave to the nearest subway station.

Time – 4:00am
Location – Houston St. Station

We pull up. As we’re about to enter the station, my friend decides he’s hungry again and walks into the McDonalds that’s right there by the entrance to the train. As we’re inside, I get a text from SSA asking me where I went. I said that we decided to leave because we’re tired, keep in mind that although it was 4am, it was 5am without DST. She gives me shit and says she wants me to hang out still. So I agree and I ask where she was going. She said Greenhouse, which was just a few blocks away. I tell my friend and he says he’s tired so he’s gonna head home. So we part ways and I start walking to meet her.

The streets are still packed and everyone’s in a drunken state. I walk up to the place and there’s a little line to get in. Apparently they were doing an afterhours. So I get there, text SSA, she walks up to me within 10 seconds. Her sister walks up to the bouncers, talks to one of them. Waves us over and we walk right in.

Let me say, that this is def one of the nicest places I’ve been to. It’s not big at all, but so nicely done.







We head downstairs to the hip hop room and we post up on one of the couches. It wasn’t crowded at all which was a good thing. We get some drinks, and SSA and start talking. We danced, we talked, drank, danced. It was great. I was getting a vibe from her. Like I would say something and she would give me look and smile and look down. She was def looking cute.

At about 7am SSA’s sister says she wants to head out. So we step outside, and SSA’s sister had met up with like 5 of her friends inside the club. So now it’s 1 guy with like 6 females and we walk out into the sun. At this point, I’m like ok, I should probably head home now. As I start saying goodbye, SSA and her sister say they’re heading to one of the girl’s apartments in the upper east side to have some drinks. I decline at first, but SSA insists that I come and her sister does also. So OF COURSE I agree. A limo pulls up, and we all hop in.

Pictures are being taken, we’re drinking champagne. SSA is next to me holding onto my arm and we’re having a good time.

Next thing I remember is I get woken up. I look to my right and SSA is knocked out on my shoulder. We step out of the Limo and I head to the nearest store for some water. SSA is pretty trashed but she’s pretty much done for the night. So I walk with the girls to their building and I tell them I’m going to leave. They try to pull me in, but it was like 7:30am now (really 8:30am) and SSA was done so I said goodbye and hopped in a cab to the nearest subway station.

So there I am, on the subway STILL in my costume and looking a mess. But, the night was great and I reconnected with SSA which was great.

Time – 9:00am
Location – Home

Get home. Take off the costume. Get into bed. I receive a text.

It’s SSA.

“I’m glad you came. It was nice to see you ”

Yea. The parade is cool the first 2 times, and then it's more annoying then anything else.

I like sutton place during the warmer months too. Def a place to revisit.

my only problem with sutton place is the whole place is long island douches....I guess like every other upper east side bar

That I def agree with. But the view is nice.

I very rarely find myself in an upper east side bar. Unless I'm meeting up with people.

Wow, 9am? Nicely done. Good TR, man!

[BritishV]

Wow - that's some serious partying - it's a hella long time since I saw sunrise in those circumstances.

But I'm dying to know - are you going to see SSA again?? She's soooo into you!

[Drew]

[Cisco419]

I haven't made an attempt yet, but we've been texting each other on a regular basis. We'll see.

McFadden's isn't that bad of a place, except if you want to head somewhere else it's a nice walk. I like going where there's a nice collection of bars. I love the lower east side.

[BritishV]

I haven't made an attempt yet, but we've been texting each other on a regular basis. We'll see.

Texting is good...but you can't leave it too long or you'll get back into friend zone...unless they're 'flirty' texts? Tuesday is a good day to ask her out for the weekend
