The Rainbow Room

Yes can you believe it. Only in NY for 3 weeks and I have already made it into the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Plaza. The 65th floor. Not sure how much ya'll know of the Rainbow Room but back in the day it is where all the big band parties were thrown. They have renovated it and honestly I wasn't sure what the big deal was, but then they raised the drapes and it has the most amazing views of NYC. I made a video for all to see but my slow internet at this apartment isn't letting me upload it. Sorry. I was trying to be all discreate and did a video so I wouldn't be that chic flashing and taking pictures everywhere, but now i regret it. I will have to figure out a way to load it up for all to see.

So I went with two ladies from work. They were older so you can only imagine how my night went. I was hoping they would walk me around and introduce me to people but all they wanted to do was sit and eat. So after my 2nd glass of wine I took it upon myself to walk around and meet and greet but it was so loud that I couldn't hear what anyone was saying. So I just propped myself and my glass of wine against the window, enjoyed the music and the view. Just as I was about to get up and go, the main entertainment arrived. Now you have to remember this room is filled mostly with middle aged white men and women, so who was the main entertainment, but Doug E Fresh. You know I was excited, but I think I was one of the few who actually knew who he was. You should of seen the two ladies that were with me. They didn't know what to do or say. So I just continued to stand against the window and rock to the beat while singing along with the music. Those women looked at me like I was crazy but shoot, they don't know me I am old school :) (Shout out to Laura 96')

So after a while I was ready to go home. I had to still take the train and you know I can't stay out too late on a weekday. So Theresa, one of the ladies I went with, walked half way with me back to the train, and then the gates of heaven opened up and we found a Magnolia Bakery that opened in Manhattan. For those who don't watch Sex and the City, that is where it became famous for their off the chain cup cakes. OMG it was the best cupcake I have ever had. I thought of Katria and her love of baked goods the entire time I ate it. I swear I almost walked the ten blocks today at lunch to get another one. Dang I want one now just writting about it.

So anyway that pretty much sums up my night at the Rainbow Room. Only in my life would you combine a fancy, white as rice joint with some hip hop flava.
