Moved The Cupboard to NYC for a bit

It's been a while, I moved the cupboard to NYC for a few weeks. It's my third visit there in as many years, and it's lucky that I'm so accustomed to cupboard dwelling, as thats about all you get when you rent a place or book a hotel over there.

We arrived at midnight in a suburb of brooklyn that shall remain nameless, and with the help of a very nice stranger who I thought may want to rob us, we found the apartment I had rented. Turns out the apartment was fantastic, it was just the proximity to the JZ train line that wasn't so great.. After having a shower and sitting down we were greeted by bright flashing lights and a prolonged cling clang thump! After a brief survey of the surrounds ( looking out the window) I noticed that the train was ten metres from our lounge room... a fact that was conveniently omitted in the apartment description. So every 15 minutes 24 hours a day the house shook and shone with the bright lights of the J train. Needless to say we only stayed the first night and that morning we began our odyssey of last minute hotel deals through booking.com..some were amazing ( Raddisson @ midtown) some were less than amazing ( Stay @ Time Square). Regardless, it was an adventure filled with many good times and some very sweaty times carrying bags through the subways.
