New York is one of my all time favorite cities to visit. Jamie asked me the last time I was there why I liked it so much. And I thought a lot about it as I was walking through Times Square, and the answer that kept coming to mind was that it's just so iconic! And besides, you don't get to see things like The Statue Of Liberty checking her text messages!
Just keep in mind, every photo we post in our steems are taken by my iPhone7. (Unless otherwise posted). All of these were taken with our phone. And I was more than laughing when I caught that pic. It's always hits my funny bone when I see people in costumes checking their cell phones. I don't know why it strikes me that way, but, I guess it's just general silliness.
Of course, we checked out Times Square, which I always love doing. I just never get tired of people watching. There is always so much going on, and I love the hustle and bustle. I also love all the giant big lights, the billboards, and of course the shows! (Which, I went to a comedy show there that I will review later. It's a WHOLE other post!). There is a picture below in Times Square that we found, and ....... well, no comment. You'll know the one!

And I love New York because you always see things you've never seen before! Now, if you've been to Times Square, you also know there is the Naked Cowboy down there. I couldn't find him, I think it was far too cold! And you will see the McDonalds that is like NO OTHER Mickie D's you've ever seen in your life. I haven't eaten there since high school, but, you have to go into it just to see the massiveness of this place! (Now of course, it's also a common stop to find a public bathroom while you are there).
< BR> Aside from how impressive Manhattan is, there are the uber groovy hotels. We stayed at the Rowe. This place was colorful, modern, totally hip, and pretty darn cool. The keycards they gave us to get into the room, you could keep them and use them as luggage tags. Super smart idea marketing, considering how many times I forget to turn hotel keys in. I have a huge collection of them at home. So, might as well punch a hole it, and let you advertise their hotel on your travel bags? The lights when you walk into the place, everything is in LED. And the view from the room was amaze-balls!

And as cold as it was outside, it looked beautiful from inside the Uber!

So, let's get to the reason we went to New York! We were there for the Small Business Expo at the Javitz Convention Center, to meet other entrepreneurs and professionals, and speak to a sold out room! Our speaker was Raza Aziz, and boy, did they pack the house for him!

AND, I got to do something that has been on my bucket list for years! Well, two things! I got to ride in the back of a Rolls Royce. I had to take my shoes off for the super fluffy carpet on the floor. And, even better, I got to get into a cash blowing money machine. You grab as much as you can. I've always wanted to do that. I don't even care if I get to keep the money, I have just always wanted to get in one of those machines and see how much I could grab. Here is Leesa. She's one of the other authors I work with. I filmed her in the machine!! FUN!!

That's the rest of our team!! And I'll leave you with a pic of us on the strip!

Wow, that's a trip to be remembered.@thehoneys, I admire your sense of humor and presentation. Your pictures are classic and professionally captured. You actually took me beyond reading, I experienced a live moment all through. Thanks for taking me through New York city within few minutes; I saw things I had never seen before and that increase my nervousness to visit New York and whenever I visit, I wouldn't miss the Naked Cowboy down there because I won't be cold like you(😀). The hustle and bustle lifestyle in New York is comparable/similar to that of Lagos, Nigeria..."*statue of liberty checking her email, also the guys(looks like your husband) facial/body expression and reaction towards I love dick frame, (laughs) and many more triggered my smiles, You guys had a great trip, no doubt that your aim of visiting was awesome and accomplishing . You and Leesa had much fun in the money machine and do not forget to send my share of money picked from there(gat to use my share to get an Iphone too). Thanks for sharing this and I look forward to reading about the movie you watched. Great team with great accomplishment! Thanks and stay blessed.
