1290 Avenue of the Americas (formerly Coconuts record store); site of the historic 1994 meeting between Mariah Carey and yours truly

I am at the intersection of West 51st Street and Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue), northeast corner. Sure, the red decor of the Sovereign Bank branch is interesting, but that's not why I took this photo.

Back in the 1990s, when I was based in New York City, this was a location of Coconuts. And on 21 November 1994, Mariah Carey was here to do a meet-and-greet to sign her then-new Christmas release, Merry Christmas. A key single from that album, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," went on to become the most popular Christmas song ever.

On that day, I was right here. The bank lobby to the right was the store entrance, and the ATM lobby to the left was where Mariah would have sat at a desk to meet with the fans. Just outside the ATM lobby on the sidewalk was where the line was - circling the entire block. After a 12-hour wait, I managed to say hello, and have a chat. (The meet-and-greet ran only two hours, 5PM to 7PM. I had arrived at dawn to line up.)

This event marked my first-ever meeting with my favorite celebrity. I would not have another celebrity meeting until 2006. And even today, this remains one of my favorite spots in New York City, thanks to all the 1994 memories still staying fresh.

As one of the few idols of my earlier years, Mariah Carey holds a special place in my heart. And with the passing of my other early idols - Michael Jackson in 2009, Whitney Houston in 2012 - Mariah Carey is also the last early idol of mine who is still alive.
