For my great-grandfather, Jimmy Lum, who
settled our family in the best city in the world

THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING:
A SPOKEN-WORD JOURNEY

I should have peed

Before I left.

But instead,

I stand before you,

Screaming tourist babies

And all.

If phallacious was a word,

It would describe you best.

Also the words

Tall and metal .

You are

Kind of a big deal

Like Bonnie Raitt

Frasier.

Except Frasier

Does not have

Mass-produced foam replicas of himself.

Your guardians

Wear maroon suits

With little hats.

Kind of like the one Joe Pesci wore

In the provocative film

My Cousin Vinny .

Inside, you are basically

A shitload

Of velvet ropes

Positioned

In a ridiculously complicated line.

It is kind of like

A Six Flags in hell.

Next is

A bag check

A body X-ray and

A tasteful pat-down.

Kind of like

The airport.

Except

There is no Cabo

Or shirtless tan

Man dancers

On the other side.

When I reach the ticket booth

I pay.

To climb you.

And for $10 more

I can get

A map.

A very

Assertive guardian

Jams like

Fifty of us of us

Into an elevator

That talks

In different languages.

The elevator

Goes ten floors at a time.

And

Other than the hot breaths

Of a person Ive never met

Fluttering against

The nape of my neck,

Its a pretty cool

Ride.

On your observation deck

I elbow through.

When I finally get

A good view

Im like

Damn.

I should Instagram

This shit.

FIVE BEST SPOTS FOR
PEOPLE-WATCHING

In a place as congested as New York City, people-watching is an unavoidable activity. Depending on where you are in the city, it can be an incredibly fascinating and eye-opening experience, whether you see a homeless man who has just peed himself or a hipster wearing a vest made out of uncooked macaroni and things that he found in the garbage.

Here are the greatest venues for the best free shows in town.

UNION SQUARE

Union Square is Mecca for freaky, unnecessary people. Taking a seat on a bench or on the steps of the square itself, expect a ratchet parade of everything from the overdressed to the-oh-my-god-is-that-guy-really-paying-people-a-dollar-to-smell-their-farts.

SOHO OFF LAFAYETTE STREET

SoHo is home to some of the most pimped-out residential lofts in the city, as well as a large modeling and fashion crowd. While the intersection of Broadway and Prince is far too crowded and commercial, people-watching off Lafayette Street is a highly efficient way of staring enviously into the vacant eyes of contract models who work in the surrounding buildings. SoHo is also fertile ground for celebrity sightings since many high-profile stars live in the neighborhood.

If youre super desperate for some more skin, head farther west toward the NYU athletic center on Mercer Street for troops of sweaty, shirtless men who spray themselves with water bottles as they jog right out of your life.

BEDFORD AVENUE, WILLIAMSBURG SECTION

Williamsburg is kind of a big NYC joke at this point. It is arguably the most gentrified neighborhood in the city, known to most New Yorkers as a place where hipsters and artists run rampant. As a result, Bedford Avenue is basically a (sometimes unbearable) fashion show, a congested thoroughfare where similarly styled denizens who are all trying way too hard to be cool walk quickly past each other pretending not to take note of each others shoes and outerwear.

BEDFORD AVENUE, CROWN HEIGHTS SECTION

Crown Heights tight-knit and fascinating community of Hasidic Jews makes for amazing people-watching. Sure, some would say that this is an intrusion upon their privacy, but hey, the best part about people-watching is that its done on public property. Taking a long stroll through the boisterous enclave on the south end of Bedford Avenue is an out-of-body experience that includes crazy displays of fashion, hair, hats, and minivans. Whats refreshing about this community on Bedford Avenue is its ability to exist peacefully and seemingly undisturbed by the society around it.

TIMES SQUARE

As a native New Yorker, I try very hard to avoid visiting this area at all costs. Sure, it was fun as a wide-eyed teen who considered TGI Fridays to be haute cuisine and PacSun to be luxury fashion (I was a terrible person back then). As a young adult, Id say the most fulfilling aspect of visiting Times Square is being overwhelmed with the people there. Times Square people-watching shouldnt be directed at the tourists who flood the streets, but rather at the slightly deranged characters who set up shop for the visitors entertainment. These would include the array of furries, men dressed as superheroes, the aging and mildly depressing Naked Cowboy, the African American naked cowboy, and the freaky betch who can stand still like the Statue of Liberty.

THE ADVENTURE

An intense and ridiculously historical walking tour of the lovely waterside - photo 7

An intense and ridiculously historical walking tour of the lovely waterside town of Tottenville, caked with (mostly positive) WTF-ery, ending at a haunted house built in the seventeenth century where Ben Franklin once slept and most likely took a dump.
