Saturday morning we headed out early for breakfast. We
decided on trying out French Roast, in Chelsea. I had eggs benedict and the
world’s cutest coffee.
After breakfast we took a taxi to Times Square where we did
our very first super touristy thing – we bought a tour bus ticket.
The tour was
called The Ride.
It was interesting, but I don’t think I will ever do it again.
My favorite thing about it was I got to sit down, but the bad thing was that it
was super warm so I almost fell asleep – and actually my mom did fall asleep… It was an hour tour,
and it was fun, but I didn’t feel like I learned anything super memorable. I
really wanted to learn all about the gang wars, the mafia, and the celebrities…
After the tour we stopped for cheesecake at Junior’s (a MUST
if you are in NYC) and then we walked a few blocks to get to our main
destination for the day – a Broadway show!
We (I) decided to see Chicago! Ricky was dreading it, but I
was forcing him anyway. As we glanced at the program, we noticed that Brandi
(YES BRANDI) would be playing the role of Roxie.
SHE WAS FANTASTIC FOR THAT ROLE!
She was hilarious, her
voice was amazing, and her dancing was spot on. After the show, even Ricky said
he enjoyed the performance and he wouldn’t mind on seeing another show!
MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED.
Later that night we met up with the newlyweds at a burlesque
show. Since we were all new to burlesque, we weren’t quite sure what to expect
but we were excited!
The show was in a slightly scary area, but it meant a
$$cheaper$$/raunchier show. It was only $20 to get in, and we were allowed to
stay as long, and for as many shows, as we wanted. The show was fantastic! I
was quite impressed with the dances, and some, though raunchy, were quite
hilarious. Krystal and I drank French Martinis, while Dana and Ricky sipped on
beers. This show was definitely something I won’t ever forget!
After the show, we walked until we ran into food. Food in
the form of Katz’s and it was ooooo sooooo good. It was here that I had the
best Ruebin of my LIFE. “I’ll have what she’s having”

The next morning we headed out for brunch and shopping.
We
ate at a restaurant called Penelope’s and it was my favorite meal of the trip!
After brunch we set out for some shopping (YES I FINALLY
FOUND SHOPPING) on the upper east side before we headed to the MET.
 |
| I tried my hardest not to be rude and take pictures, so this is the only one I got! I just love the yellow couch! |
The MET
was awesome, but I wished that we had seen it on a regular week day. It was
crazyyyy. The tourists were insane, and the annoying thing was that people were
allowed to take pictures… This meant there was a line to see EVERYTHING.
After spending a few hours at the MET, we headed to see the
Rangers play!
Seeing the Rangers play Tampa was, in the beginning,
amazing. I have never seen fans like Ranger fans, I have never seen so many
jerseys and so much pride.
But that all was killed by the fact that Tampa won
against NYC 2-0.
It was a longgggg treck back to the car. I was not looking
forward to riding all the way back to Orlando with Ricky (the saddest ranger
fan) in the car next to me.
Thankfully he quickly got over his sadness, which was good
because it took us a day and a half to finallyyyy get home!
