New Years Eve in New York City

Cold weather and car trouble!

Almost every year Dave and I like to spend New Years with his friends in the city! Its usually very relaxed and fun. The weather back east was great most of the time we were there it was relatively warm in the high 40's. A temperature I can deal with. Unfortunatley the temperature dipped drastically new years eve day and was windy and awful.

We got ready at Dave's parents house and headed to the train station. We got there 2 minutes before the train was supposed to come. Once we got on the platform we heard an announcement that the train was 20 minutes delayed so we decided to move the car to the other side of the tracks and walk back thinking that at 3 in the morning we would want the car right there when we got off the train. Almost as soon as we got back to the city bound side of the track we realized waiting out in the cold for another ten minutes was not going to be fun. after waiting almost 15 minutes another announcement came on saying the train was 50 minutes delayed. since this would mean another almost 30 minute wait Dave went and got the car and drove it back to our side of the track. Just as he pulled the car in the spot the train came! So I ran down down to get him and he jumped out of the car we were almost at the train when Dave realized he left the headlights to the car on so he quickly ran back while one of the other passengers helped me hold the door to the train open luckily he made it in time and we were off. A slightly stressful beginning to the night

In the city!

Once in the city everything worked out great the subway was easy and we made it to china town to go to a great restaurant and stuffed ourselves with dumplings for like 10 dollars a person! We then decided to just hit a local bar and hang out so we went to Mulberry St. and found a quiet bar! We couldn't believe how perfectly the evening went until at 11:30pm the bartender told us it was last call and they were closing in 10 minutes. We were definitley shocked that a bar was closing at 11:45 on New Years Eve. So we went back to Jason and Amandas apartment and had a great rest of the night.

Happy and Healthy New year to All!!
