Mom came to visit me two weekends ago, and we had a fabulous weekend! We saw Jersey Boys Thursday night, which is now one of my favorite shows. We did the double-decker tour on Friday and hopped on and off all day. We browsed around SoHo and then ended up down by the South Pier and had lunch. We then went to Greenwich and shopped around. We headed back to our hotel and then went to Addams Family, which was amazing as well!!! Saturday, we went to the King Tut Exhibit, and much to our dismay, there is NO King Tut in that museum - I know he wouldn't actually be in there, but the famous mask with the gold pharaoh wasn't there. It's still in Egypt. I felt cheated. ALL of the advertisements show the mask of King Tut - this is false advertising and ILLEGAL!
Mom and I going to the 3D video about mummies - Ooh Aah!
Anyway after running through the exhibit as fast as possible to find King Tut, we headed back down to Greenwich for some more thorough exploring. We meandered back to our hotel and got dolled up for HARRY CONNICK JR :) :) It was BY FAR our favorite show we had seen. He was A-MAZING. He was funny, he played 2 pianos, he played the trumpet, he sang like an angel, AND he could tap dance!!!! What more could you want?!?!
After the show, we went to Serafina for dinner - If you are EVER in NY, this restaurant is AMAZING! I recommend the crepes with ricotta cheese and fresh tomato sauce or the homemade pasta with chicken and peas in a cream sauce. It's right across from David Letterman, so be sure to go everyone!
This past weekend Kate's friend Kylee came to visit. We went to the Top of the Rock (Rockefeller Center) and learned about the history of the building.
We then went to St. Patrick's Cathedral - this was Kylee's first time to NY so we had to cover the basics.
We then went to Spice Market down in the Meatpacking District. It was delicious!!! I'm not for sure the type of food it is, but it's delicious! The atmosphere was really cool too.
We then went to see Jersey Boys - yes for the second time :) We love it THAT much!!!!
Us with Frankie Valli :)On Saturday, I wondered around West 72nd and Broadway and met up with people from work. We were working the concerts in Central Park for our agency. The bands playing for that day were all Latino, and we were there representing one of the bands. We handed out flyers to people and free cards to download music. It was really fun to "work" while listening to the different bands. I then went to meet up with my roommates at the MET. After walking around the MET and seeing the Monet's and Van Gogh's, we headed to Union Square to eat dinner. We went to Republic, it's another Asian type restaurant, also VERY delicious. After dinner, we went to Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar aka Heaven on earth. It was delicious!!! We definitely chocolated (my made up word) ourselves out. We had a chocolate pizza with marshmallows and the sampler platter, which consisted of chocolate egg rolls, chocolate fondu, chocolate bark, chocolate biscotti, chocolate waffles, chocolate anything!!!! It was awesome. Epic moment for the chocolate lovers!
On Sunday, we took it easy after all of our eating :) Our FAVORITE thing to do in New York. I did get my hair chopped off, which was fun. Meanwhile outside the salon, the movie Premium Rush was filming with my fav actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Unfortunately he was not there because he had gashed his arm open the previous day doing one of the stunts :/ He had to get 31 stitches... The hard life of a movie star...
-The guy in the red is the stunt double for Joseph-Well I believe that is about all for now :) Hope you're enjoying my blog... I know I keep forgetting to post, but things are SOOO busy!!!! I absolutely love it here, and I just may be back here in a year - for good. Or well for a few years :)
New Hair :) Better pictures to come!!!!!
