The day before my birthday, Jim and I skipped off to NYC (just the two of us) inspite of a family epidemic of strep throat. Some of the sights we hit:
- NYC temple
- Frick Museum
- Broadway plays: Addams Family and Come Fly Away (neither one was fantastic-Addams family lacked umph and Come Fly Away was what Broadway call "sexy". I thought it was for the most part nauseating.)
- Porterhouse Steak at Frankie and Jonny's (I think I ate a half a cow)
- Strand Bookstore (18 miles of discount books=Heaven)
- King Falafel (was awful)
- Purl SoHo (yarn, yarn and more yarn=Heaven)
- biking from Battery Park over to the Brooklyn Bridge and back up the Hudson river. I tripped while riding my bike (ouch) in front of ground zero. That shook me up and slowed me down. Still, I loved the ride and getting to see lots of NYC in little time.
- Cafe Lalo (great desserts, you can try some fancy European cheeses too, just don't waste any). This romantic cafe is in "You've Got Mail"
- Riding a rickshaw through Central Park
- window shopping on 5th Avenue (Tiffany & Co.)
- falling in love between the moon and New York City
Thanks Mom and Dad for babysitting my sick children!
