List of Clubs, Bars, Restaurants, Theatres, Special Events, Shopping

2004 was significant for many reasons, many I 'd like to forget, but thinking back on the year I just realized how many places I went to during the last year. I decided to list the places for the fun of it. Actually a good percentage of places were visited after the "infamous" East of 8th incident of August 30th.

After the Eo8th fiasco my best tgirl friend Jamey and I decided that we were going to party big time in New York City and just start walking into bars, clubs, restaurants and go for it. I have to say that we are mostly welcomed with open arms. And usually we hit it off with many of the people there, mostly the young girls, they like to dance and party with us. Yes, there are few. And I mean few, that are uncomfortable with us, but we ignore them and party regardless.

So, this list includes 3 states, 23 bars, 13 clubs, 20 restaurants, 5 shopping, 5 special events. Of the 66 places listed, 58 are mainstream, 5 gay (3 of them in PA), 2 Tgirl places and 1S&M. 36 places I was there once and 29 from 2-30 times. At the place I've been to at least 30 times, the live band that plays there will sometimes announce that "Lily's in the house". Most people are who's Lily, but the regulars know who I am. Looking back I can't imagine this was all done in the past year. Considering that most tgirls don't go out at all, some go to one place and most go to one to maybe three places. Also take into consideration the exposure to the mainstream population. The Halloween Parade alone was 2 milliion.

Who knows what 2005 will bring, but Jamey and I will be out there blazing the trail. So, here's my list of places,
