Better days. CMJ Day 3 meant my NYC tour, which of course includes Washington Square Park - from my suburban London, 15-year-old Larry Clark Kids obsession - and the start of my NYC food hunt, starting with the best hotdog... or more like the best Korean BBQ hotdog pilled high with kimchee, bulgogi (BBQ Korean shortribs) and sesame seeds at New York HotDog & Coffee down Bleecker Street.
Next stop Chinatown to satisfy a mass craving for NYC's Shanghai Soup Dumplings... New Yeah! is supp. to be one of the spots, so I dined solo with the steamy buns. $4.50 for 8. Totally absurd girls lunch conversation from the table next to me was gratis. A crazed girlfriend telling her mate that she loved going through her bf's emails and phone and shut every one of his platonic girl friends out of his life. And that she had a penchant for throwing stuff at him. Psycho. And she was butterz. Homeboy better sort his shit out.
Awesome old Chinese dudes in the park playing chess and mahjong. No sign of the RZA.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Ground Zero Memorial by Jeff Koons - Balloon Flower (Red).
And finally some intimate CMJ Music Festival action seeing The xx at the boujie Tribeca Grand hotel. Living it up lke Ja Rule. The crowds were heaving, it was pissing it down, but Tribeca Grand whiskey sodas and The xx were great. Big ups to my traveling man Guru and my CMJ partner in crime, Seb Diamond from Montreal / Many Brain / Turbocrunk crizzz.
