Went to DC on business. Weather was great in both places. I had never been to New York and I had a great time, mostly walking around the neighborhoods. I did an alcoholic walking tour, hopping from bar to bar in each place. The food, music, and drink were fantastic, and the people were actually surprisingly nice! Everything was clean too!

I did a side trip to Coney island, and saw a real live sideshow featuring Insectivora the fire dancer, Heather the Mormon sword swallower, and Donny Vomit, the chainsaw juggling human blockhead. This may have been one of the best things I have ever seen. I also rode the back breaking Cyclone roller coaster, built in 1927.
