Throughout this trip, I was trying to coordinate plans with my other cousin Eric to go meet up. Unfortunately, things were so jumbled and all over the place, I couldn't set a fix time to meet up with him and meet his family! So Monday morning, Jim and Adaiah went shopping and I stayed back because I couldn't walk anymore. So I was fine staying in the room and just chilling out before we had to leave for the airport.
Then I get a text from Eric asking me if I wanted to meet for lunch. He worked just up the street from me and I said SURE! Since this was the only time I was going to be able to see him during my stay there. So I met him at the corner of 40th and 5th avenue and there he was struttin in his business suit! I felt so under dressed and I was hoping that we were going somewhere for a casual lunch but low and behold, my cousin takes me to The Grill in Bryant Park! Now earlier on this trip Clecia and I saw this restaurant and said "OOOO WE SHOULD EAT THERE!!". We never got the chance to but thanks to my cousin my opportunity came up.
I had a good conversaton with Eric. Also finding out that he recently just had another baby girl, about 4 months old. I felt like a dumb ass not knowing this but then again, I haven't seen this guy in 16 years as well. I wish I got to spend more time with him and actually meet his family. Next time I will for sure!
So there you have it, my trip to NYC. I am planning to go back again and bring Alysia since she's never been there but first things first....
