I never tire of it. Every trip I learn and explore more and more. So this trip I arrived at 330pm at Laguardia and hopped a cab over to my friend Alex's house on E 37th and settled in. We grabbed a bite to eat at JP Clark's and after, I checked into the Mariner hotel which I must say is quite a nice spot. After checking in I hit the NYSC gym for a 2 hr work out which I finally feel I am getting back in to pre-operation shape. I had a midnight photo shoot with Reni - RLSALIBA of NY and will post the photos shortly.
We shot till about 3 am and the photos turned out amazing, exactly the James Bond, James Dean look I was going for. After returning to the hotel I immediately fell asleep from exhaustion. I woke up the next morning at 8am and had a large breakfast consisting of 4 eggs over easy, a fruit plate, orange juice, coffee and an assorted pastry plate. Right after I went to NYSC and had another great work out, incorporating heavy bag training, punches and kicks. There after I met with the Owner of
VincentLambert.com at Bryant Park and we had a lovely conversation over Coffee while he interviewed me for his blog.
After parting ways I made my way over to the Major Model Management office to meet with Jason Kanner to discuss possibly working with them. I had let him know I recently had surgery and wouldn't be in the best shape of my life and he said lets meet anyway. We had a great conversation and he said he loved my face. We both agreed I should return after regaining my peak physique and he also referred me to their Chicago sister agency Chosen. All in all it was a successful meeting for what I was trying to accomplish, namely to introduce my self to Major. Afterward I met with Paul Reitz for a quick coffee and to catch up on good times.
I had tickets for Carnegie Hall that night for a special broadcast of NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me with the host Peter Sagal and co host Carl Castle. The special guest of the evening was NBC's Brian WIlliams who was an absolute smash hit with the fans. The show was amazing and the crowd was full of New York's upper class well-to-do's with some big names in the stands! After the show I went out with my friends Alex and Oska to a nice Russian vodka bar/restaurant, the Russian Samovar. We sampled the apple cinnamon vodka and had a plate of could cuts with horse radish and the salted herring with onion on the side, traditional Rusio-Polish dishes :) Not wanting to call it a night yet, we followed that up with heading over to the rooftop of the dream hotel to the bar Ava where we had some cocktails, shared sex stories and a ton of good laughs.
We finished our drinks an parted ways and I checked into the Gem Hotel in Chelsea for the night. Let me tell you, what a terrible hotel, it had no room service and was tiny, like staying in a closet. Luckily I was to tired to care and fell fast asleep. So a new day began and I met with Alex for breakfast at a nice Jewish deli, The Sarge's. We then proceed to NYCS for another workout and then I took a nap back at his place. After getting up we visited Alice's Tea Cup, an absolutely delightful Rea Room/Restaurant. There were so many beautiful waitress girls there and I got a number from this fierce southern redhead beauty to join me at a haunted house a group of us are going to on Saturday. Well that's all for now folks so stay tuned to the next update!
Cheers!
