Have you been raped by a black man yet?

>>6387922
Me too, man. Walking around empty streets at 3-4 in the morning, wandering into little known all night spots, running through a thermos of coffee by streetlamp. You get to see things late at night, the city breathes differently.

5:45am tbh

3 AM, obviously. Occult references to the witching hour and all.

>>6387989
hey poet, what are some nice areas in the city to wander around through? A friend and I are gonna hang out friday, and I wanna know where to go

>>6388645
Brooklyn Heights

Greenpoint, Red Hook. Just walk towards the industrial areas and see what you find. It's inevitable. You can look up the freedom tunnels but that can be dangerous. Tunneling is no joke and now that the high line has been co-opted, there will be no more breathless, life changing run to thirtieth street from the rooftops of the meatpacking district.
People had illicit gardens up there (accessed via a ladder from a bathroom window), there were beautiful graf pieces. Sculpture gardens built from old train parts.

Just hit the industrial areas. Follow the graf.

n'thing this early morning hours talk.

>now that the high line has been co-opted

?

You used to be able to climb up to the high line and have a secret path from meatpacking to 33rd. There were a few spots, around where DVF is right now. It's all been made a public park now, regrettably. It was true urban wilderness. Every inch of track had a name on it. Last time I ran the length of it was 2006. Then I heard kids were getting bagged up there, motion sensors, that sort of thing. They painted over some of the most important graffiti art in the last 20 years and put up condos adjacent.

I went back up there once last year, now that it's all a legal walkway, and a guard admonished me for stepping off the path of that sissy little 'park' they built up there. Really emblematic of what's happened to nyc in the wake of heavy gentrification.

That sucks :(

I wish I had checked it out while it was still around. How old are you, poet?

>>6388791
God, that's horrible. I hate that I missed that kind of stuff.

>>6388826
32.
On my old comp I have some photos that would probably be quite impressive. There were amazing murals up there, and the sculptures were really brilliant. Some of the graf dated to the late 80s, still untouched.

>>6388992
Oh man
Now I'm really wishing I had been able to see it. What a shame. Really kicking myself in the ass for missing out on it. Speaking of the meatpacking district, are there any restaurants/coffee shops/whatever to check out there? The friend in question is a girl, and really proper type, so I don't think she would've been about the urban exploration life anyways.

>>6389109
I don't think there's anything really left there, in the meatpacking district. If you want something relatively unexplored, go check out the chinese restaurants along Main Street in flushing. Check out the place that makes pork buns on bayard street, across from the china town icecream factory in manhattan. Get a beef rice noodle roll while you're there.
Go see the five points graffiti museum in queens ASAP. it's one of the most important sites in american graffiti art and it's being turned into condos SOON. It will disappear forever. It's a cultural loss. You owe it to yourself to see this place, just google five pointz queens. It's free..

Depends on the style.
