Dancing in a better place...


New York, New York

If you are in Manhattan any time soon, take a trip up to Harlem at 125th St. On my recent visit, the entire street seemed to be a makeshift Michael Jackson memorial, with every street vendor hawking t-shirts, CDs, DVDs, and memorabilia of all sorts, as well as playing MJ's hits from boom boxes and car stereos.

At the Apollo Theater, where Michael Jackson supposedly got his start, there is a wall on which people have posted notes and flowers, and written heartfelt messages.

Also, if you do make it up to Harlem, be sure to check out the Uptown Juice Bar (54 W. 125th near Lennox Ave), a vegan Caribbean and Soul Food restaurant. Everything is delicious. Worth the subway ride. Not too pricey either.
