On our way out we stopped at Pick A Bagel for breakfast again. Matt and I ordered a breakfast wrap with potatoes and split it. We then headed for Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center. Top of the Rock was amazing; we had a 360° view of the entire city. We then walked down to where they have the huge Christmas tree during the holidays. There was a farmers market going on that day. Alison and I spotted Dean & DeLuca and had to go in to get coffee.
Afterwards we walked down 5th Avenue for a little shopping. We stopped and went into Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. The cathedral was huge and so beautiful. We were able to walk around inside and take pictures. On our walk we noticed a group filming an Adam Sandler movie called You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. We saw Adam, but of course we saw him from across the street, but it was still cool. Next, we wandered through De Beers looking at diamonds. Then the girls decided to wander through Tiffany & Co. while Matt walked down to the Apple Store. I found a couple of necklaces that I fell in love with. I didn’t buy either. I’m hoping I can get at least one for either my birthday or Christmas!
Next we figured that we should go to TKTS to buy our Broadway tickets for that night. They offer tickets up to 50% off, so of course tons of people line up to get these tickets. Our first choice was Hairspray and at the urging of others around us we decided that our second choice would be A Chorus Line. While waiting in line Alison and I decided to go pick up lunch. On our way we say the Naked Cowboys, so we had to stop and get our picks taken with them. When we finally got back and we got to the ticket window we found out that Hairspray was completely sold out. So we went with our second choice instead and got 4 orchestra seats together, so we were happy.
After TKTS we hoped on the subway and headed towards Greenwich Village. We specifically wanted to go in Magnolia Bakery, which is known for its cupcakes. I picked out 3 cupcakes and a container of banana pudding. We walked across the street and found a table in the park to sit and relax. The cupcakes turned out to be just okay, but the banana pudding was fabulous!
We went back to the hotel and got dressed up for our Broadway show. Tracy and Alison left first and took the subway and Matt and I decided to take a taxi. We all made it in time, but were surprised to see most people didn’t dress up. We were some of the best dressed in the entire place! This was a good show; however it was a little boring. I would not recommend this show to someone that was only seeing one show in New York. Thinking back we should have just paid full price for Hairspray tickets. After the show we decided to dine at Ruby Foo’s, which is an Asian restaurant. It was pretty good, but a little pricey. We then headed back to the hotel and called it a night.
