NEW YORK CITY

I got the chance to go to NYC in February. My friend,
Taylor lives in Harlem. Cheap airfare + free place to
stay = happy Megan. Times Square was my favorite
place in Manhattan!!! I love all the lights and the busyness.
There is so much to see and do. I love that there a ton of
Broadway shows to see. We saw Wicked, Mary Poppins,
The Adams Family, & American Idiot. It was my 3rd time
seeing Wicked. I have seen it in LA and London. So of course
I had to see it in NYC too. It was freezing!!! We had a few days
of warmth, but most of the trip we had to bundle up in scarves
and hats. That darn humidity makes it so much colder!!!


Brynn & I



Fun new fact I learned: there are 2 of those
tower thingys in Times Square. The one with
the Diet Coke screen was of course my favorite :)



Ground Zero and one of the new Towers that
is being built.



We took the Staten Island ferry to see The Statue
of Liberty.








Taylor, me & Brynn on the Subway. Taking the
subway instead of driving a car is so different. I
kind of like that you can sit and read or listen to
music and not get road rage! We all went to high
school together and have still remained good friends
through all these years. I love my old besties!



Serendipity-----need I say more!



Frozen Hot Chocolate = Heaven



Brynn won us tickets to see David Letterman.
We saw Elton John & Anderson Cooper.



Manhattan Temple


MET (Opera)



Rockefeller Skating Rink



Rockefeller Center.....around the corner was the
best bakery....Magnolia Bakery....it had the yummiest
banana pudding.



The original Gray's Papaya.....there are many others
around the city.



Yummy....and this is one of my fav pictures catching
us laughing.



On top of The Empire State Building.



Thew view from The Empire State Building. It cost
$21, and you ride the elevator up 86 floors in 45
seconds. Kind of crazy!



Looking up at The Empire State Building.



Grand Central Terminal



The LOVE sign, which took us forever to find and
sadly had some construction going on around it. We
went to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The
National History Museum. We also ate lots of yummy
food. Pizza, bagels and some excellent Peruvian food
at a place called Pio Pios. Check it out when you visit.
Another place I had to go eat at was Rice to Riches. It
is a yummy place with tons of flavors of Rice Pudding.
It is in Soho and was in the movie Hitch. Soho was another
one of my favorite places in NYC. It is full of fun shopping,
and I went to see DASH store, which is owned by the
Kardashian sisters. It was a really fun trip and I want to go
back when everything is green to see Central Park in all its glory.
