In order to get more people to read and comment on my blog, I am going to have a little contest. While I am here, and for a short time after I am back (actual time to be determined), I will be posting about my trip.
Everyone who comments on any of my New York blog entries will receive an entry into a drawing to win a mystery prize! While I am here I will be finding something fun, cool, or quirky to give away. The more comments you make, the more you will be entered into the drawing. Then, on May 31st, I will draw for the winner!
It's simple. Comment, and enter for the chance to win!

Much Nicer Than They Say
So, here I am, in New York City! I finally made it. Now, everyone says how mean, rude, and impolite New Yorkers are, but I have a different story.
When the plane came in, it was drizzly, 54 degrees and couldn't have been more perfect! Off the plane and through the airport, I stopped at the information counter to find out where to buy a metrocard. The super polite guy at the counter welcomed me to New York and pointed me to the vending machine, then said if I needed any help with subway maps, he would be happy to assist. Another nice man showed me the map and said to tell the bus driver what stop I needed, so he would be sure to call it. I made it to the subway, and when I got off, wouldn't you know that some nice guy offered to help me with my bag.... No, lol, I didn't take his help.
At my friend's apartment building someone kindly held the gate for me, held the door for me, and another man held the elevator.
After a long day of helping her buy new furniture in New Jersey (yes, I spent my first day in New York in New Jersey) we went back to her place where one of her neighbors helped us move everything upstairs.
So, regardless of what else happens here, New Yorkers have started off on the right foot with me. Smiles and friendliness go a long way and always come back to you, even in this biggest of cities.

24 Hours and Counting
With a little less than 24 hours until I'm on the road to the airport, this trip is finally starting to feel real!
Of course, being busy with sold out dinner shows and tons of prep work so I can actually take this vacation, means that I haven't even started packing.... I admit, it's been a while since I traveled, but seriously, how hard can it be? Throw a few things in the old suitcase, and out the door ya go.
Here's a list of some of the things I hope to take in while I'm there.
A Broadway show (duh)
At least one museum
Chinatown
Cabaret theater
Food
Food
Food
And the most important thing: Spending the week with the most incredible, awesome friend in the world!

A New Start with Old Friends
It's been a while since I posted here, but things have been going crazy in my world. However, I want to get this thing started back up and what better way than with a bang!
Here it is--- I'm going to New York City! Next week, just in time for my big 30th birthday, I will be in the Big Apple. Guess what I'll be doing? You got it-- eating, drinking and making merry!
Share my adventure with me as I eat my way through the city. I plan to hit as many ethnic restaurants as humanly possible as well as squeezing in a Broadway show, maybe a museum or two and of course a few bars. Join me by reading my blog entries. I'm even gonna try to upload some video. Won't that be awesome?
Who knows, there might even be prizes involved..... :)
Stay tuned!
