Sorry Carson Daily....
Well, this morning Andrew and I awoke with colds, and saw fluffy snowflakes swirling and floating out our 12th story window. It looked very beautiful, but not like anything that we wanted to spend too much time in. We took out time getting ready, watched an iCarly movie, and finally went out for lunch. BRRRRRRRRRRRRR! It was 27 degrees, but "felt between 0-10" degrees. We went to Whole Foods for their hot lunches, but we wern't the only ones. It seems eveyone wants to hang at the grocery store when it's snowing. We tried, we really did, but we just couldn't get lunch there, there were too many people. We left, and went to the sweet French Bakery. I got hot tea and this organic, free range, no pesticide, etc, etc chicken soup to make me feel better. Mmmmm! So warm and delish! I feel like we are getting spoiled off the food out here.
It is seriously SO cold outside, and the wind is so biting, that we will NOT be walking just a few blocks away to Times Square, where half of New York will be standing, and half the world will be watching (I know, sounds like my dream come true! ;-) but seriously, it is painful outside. Plus, once you go, they lock you in for 24 hrs, no bathroom break, no nada. So we are going to a party with friends in Brooklyn.
But I almost forgot to tell you about out NBC studio tour! It was pretty cool, we saw the studios where they film nightly news, Conan O'Brian (we LOVE him), and SNL. Andrew sat in chair 1A which is Donald Trump's chair when he watches SNL! We learned alot of neat info about some of our favorite shows like the offica, SNL, etc. This picture is us in the top of NBC studios overlooking Rockafeller center and the ice skating rink.
Right after our tour, we decided to see one of the loves of our lives doing what he does best. Andrew and I love Bobby Flay. There, I said it. His red hair, his New York accent, his love for ancho chili, the fact that he is the one celebrities that Andrew can do a good impersination of, his food....we love it all! So we bordered the subway and headed to Union Square. We dined at Ray's Pizza for lunch, and if any of you have seen Elf, you know there are MANY Ray's, but we got 'le origional.' Then for dinner, we had a date with Mr. Flay at his Mesa Grill. Luckily, we had a reservation, cuase it was PACKED! It was SO cute, and awesome, and the people were nice, just as we would have expected :-) But Bobby wasn't there, and yes, we asked. haha, we think we're so funny!
Afterwards, we went home and decided that it was time to expereince one of the reasons we wanted to come to NY. Andrew LOVEs the movie serendipity, and it's set in NY. John Cusack and his gal eat dessert at a little place called 'Serendipity." So at 11pm, we walked down, and expected some huge sundaes. "An hour and a half wait," we were told. "WHAT!?!??!?!" WHo, I mean, who in their right mind, wants to wait in the bitter cold for an hour and a half, until a half hour past midnight for ice cream!!!!!!!! Well, we're on vacation, what else are we gonna do? hehe, so we did it! AND IT WAS KILLER! they have HUGE fifteen dollar sundaes, and they are to die for. I got one with pecan pie, butter pecan ice cream, hot fudge, pecans and whipped cream. Andrew had black out cake, fudge, ice cream, fudge morsels and whipped cream...mmmmmmm
SOOOOOOOOOO, no ball! Thank God!
