all about town

Hi Hi HI! Oh man! It's finally pretty cold here! BRRRRRRRRRR! There has been a major cold front, and we have had to bundle ourselves like little eskimos, but sometimes I still just gotta wear tights! (When in Rome!) Last night we took a romantic horse and carriage ride around central park at around 11pm. Andrew was such a good business man and totally talked the guy down in price, nice job!It was cold, but there was a blanket to snuggle in! Then we went to Rockafeller center to see some skating, had our first NY hotdog and checked out the Trump Tower.


Then we head to the pure glass apple store which worked up a big appetite for some New York cheese cake. Since we had finally digested the food from Carnegie Deli from the first night, we headed back for our cheesecake fix. It was a massive, dense, creamy delicious triangle loaf, coated in cherry sauce. We could barely finish it, but don't worry, we somehow managed.


We got home early after a wonderful night at 1:30am. I was sure to shower that night and lay out my clothes, because our alarm would be sounding at 5:30am. After a couple hours of sleep, we awoke , bundled, and ran down the empty streets. It was worth it enough just to actually see the streets empty! WOWSA! We ran into starbucks for caffeine boost and got in line at the ABC studios. WE were there early enough to be very infront for Good Morning America. We waited for and hour to where we were told they were DEFINITELY letting in stand by, and that we were guaranteed in! cool, huh? WEll, then they realized that there wasn't enough room because they were having all these crazy dancers with umbrellas, or something. But, we actually didn't mind, because at least we were up, we didn't have to stand anymore and the city was SO empty, it felt all our own!
WE walked over to the NBC studios and checked out the TODAY show, kinda lame, so we went and signed up for the NBC tour, which we will have manana, awesome! We began to feel kinda tired, and my boots were dragging. We went to McDonalds in Time Square then decided to go to SoHo by Subway. SO LAME! SoHo SoSucks! boring! So, we got on the Subway again, and went to the stop that said, "Brooklyn Bridge," cause we had heard of it before. It got all crazy bright, but it end up being pretty cool. We walked along the pedestrian path, don't even THINK about stepping over onto the bike path! The Brooklyn bridge was the accidental sight that was probably my favorite of the day! I really recommend it to all!
Since we were having such good luck on our subway bingo game, we decided to keep going, despite how dry and itchy our eyes were getting. We went into the subway, and saw that we could go to Wall Street. "WE've heard of that!" we said! So on we went. At this location we were met with two sights, one disappointing, and one very emotional, both we were not expecting. Andrew was pretty excited to see the New York Stock Exchange, and well, in many ways we did. The building that is. Yep, so we stood outside of it, and looked at it, and took a picture, but "no tours allowed." lame. It was a quick pic, them on we went.

Next we went to ground zero. There is a World Trade Tribute Center with a museum inside. There we found video footage, quotes from dying husbands to their wives and families, artifacts found as the crash. A dusty high heel, twisted metal beams, half a phone, etc. There was one wall of the "missing signs" of family members pleading to find their son, daughter, wife, etc. It was so sad. There was also a picture wall of all those lost.

When we were done, we couldn't take it any longer! We were SO tired of running around all day with only a couple hours of sleep! WE went home and passed out, almost literally for a few hours. We had plans to go to a museum with friends, but we were too worthless. OKOKOKOKOK! NOW THE BEST PART OF OUR TRIP SO FAR!!!!!!!


WE had a date. An amazing date. On Broadway. To see a Braodway, Tony award winning show. Jersey Boys. Incredible. Amazing! WE LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVED it! Please, please, make it a point to see it. So fun, and lovely. We sat next to some great people from Florida (people here are so nice!) and they were saying that we should all be happy cause San Diego and Florida football teams won last night. Andrew and I just smiled and nodded. whatever :-)
