All About Brooklyn

Spent the day exploring Brooklyn. Bedford Ave where we found a Swedish coffee place and I found a cute shirt in a boutique. We walked across the Brooklyn bridge. Then in the evening we ended up in Greenpoint, the Polish neighborhood. Indeed it is, Polish ads everywhere, Polish stores, people chatting away.....in Polish. We ate at Karczma, the food was delicious and plenty, so good. I love Polish food! I even had Zywiec - Polish beer.

Pacha

What a night! Never been to Pacha before. The place was PACKED. Meaning NO room to move AT ALL on the main floor. What a disappointment!
The dj before Danny was really good so we danced for a good while but once Danny came on it was almost impossible to be comfortable on the dance floor. I need some room to move!
Really too bad because I love Danny Tenaglia. He said, "I have four words for you......THIS IS THE BEGINNING!" Meaning, it was about 2 AM when he came on, the club was closing at Noon. Danny is famous for his long, brilliant sets, he likes to take you on a journey. So he was probably playing until Noon. I would had stayed that long or at least until 9 AM but by 3 we gave up. There were just too many people there. It took me one hour to get my jacket and squeeze myself through the crowd so I could exit the club. One hour!
I saw Danny once in LA, he played from Midnight until 6 AM and it was great. He plays dark beats that have lots of rhythm. You feel like you belong to some tribe somewhere and everybody is moving to the same ancient beat. Or sometimes it feels like you are on a train, feeling the movement of the train going through you.
Besides the insane crowd, I liked Pacha, good layout. Much better than the typical Vegas club where it's all about flaunting your money and what you are wearing or not wearing. Pacha is about the dj, the music and the dancing. You can wear sneakers! There were two more dance floors besides the main one. Places to sit, for FREE, Vegas take notes! Good sound, that's important.
Somewhat annoying, confused and persistent in a stalkerish way guys, that kind of just tried to stand as close as possible to you on the dance floor while trying to make eye contact. A few firm, no's and "I am dancing with my friend" did the trick.
One tall skinny guy started snaking his body around in front of me while pulling on his flimsy Jesus bling chain, showing off his "wealth". I shooed him away like an annoying fly. Another one tried to press his crotch into my friends ass, I HATE that. I would think most normal girls hate that. It's yucky and pervy. If I do not know you - keep your body parts, especially your half stiff dick away from me! Really! Or I might have to hurt you, give you a donkey kick.
So I basically told him, "HEY! Keep your dick away from my friends ass". You have to be firm and stand your ground, otherwise the dick thrusters will surround you on the dance floor in no time. Like piranhas flocking a prey.
Another guy forgot to put on deodorant, that whole week I think. He smelled bad. Please people, when out in public, especially while in crowded places be mindful of your personal hygiene - thank you.
Anyways, I wish that I could had stayed many more hours but I couldn't deal with the crowd. Maybe I will see Danny again soon.





Central Park

Went by the Trump Tower to see if Donald was home.....but he was out and about. Wanted to discuss some business with him......lol. And to ask him why, when he was thinking about running for the presidential nomination he was talking about that outsourcing jobs to China and other places was a bad thing yet his clothing line is made in China. Donald, shame on you - you old hypocrite! I need to shake some sense into him......next time I am in New York!


Did some more shopping, my fave place so far is the two story Juicy Couture store on 5th Avenue. I wanted like 1/3 of everything in there.

Soooooo KAWAII!!!! I love pink and gray together - I WANT!!!!


The rest of the day was spent strolling in Central Park, that place is a blessing. So amazingly beautiful. I am in love with Central Park.
Big, lush green trees, a large lake where people row boats, how nice! Green lawns for picnics or laying down reading a book. It's the best place ever.



Gray's Papaya

This is the best little place ever for hot dogs. When I lived on upper West Side for a few months, actually only a few streets from here, a long time ago now......I used to stop here for a hot dog with mustard and kraut. SO GOOD! Went by there today and felt nostalgic......

Danny Tenaglia

Lucky me! One of my fave dj's is playing at Pacha tonight......I am so going!
🙂
"The beloved prog-tech titan takes the Pacha reins to play his usual gut-punching beats. Tonight Tenaglia pays tribute to his old Vinyl residency with bumping beats from the late ’90s and early ’00s."
