Friday in NYC

Ok...let's try this again! SOOOOO today we got to see the city more like I imagined. Walking past different neighborhoods, looking around...it was pretty cool. We started out by walking east on 94th street past a row a very nice homes. We arrived at central park and walked through it. As imagined, it is absolutly beautiful in the fall.

Next, we hopped on a subway and went down to little Italy, and found a nice resteraunt for lunch. After lunch, we walked a little bit more through Little Italky, and then crossed the street to China Town.

Then we decided to go to Times Square and see if there were any tickets available for Fiddler on the Roof or The Producers or Mama Mia or Beauty and the Beast. They had tickets to both Fiddler and beauty, so we decidee to go ahead and wait in line. The line took about 30 minutes and by the time we got up there there were no tickets for anything that we wanted to see left on the sign.... I was so bummed. We went up to the windiw and asked if they had any Fidder tickets and they said they had one. So we picked a different show and when he went over to check on availability for three, he came back and said, "We just got another pair of Fiddler tickets, seperate from the first one...do we want all three?" Um, yeah! So we got the tickets! Yipee!

So then we took the subway to try to see the Brooklyn bridge, but didin't really get a good spot. So we wandered around Brooklyn for a bit and took the B line back so that we could go on top of the Manhattan Bridge. We checked out the tOYS ARE US in time square for a nit and then went to see Fiddler on the Roof. I got to see Rosie! It was awesome! The musical was a great production...both Grant and Steve liked it. We were in the "box", which were actually like wings with just four chairs set up, Grant and I on the right and Steve on the left. Did I mention that I actually got to see Rosie? Harvey Fierstein starred as Tevya.

After the show we waited around for the off chance that Rosie would come out...Harvey did and actually signed a few of our programs! Very cool.

After the show we took the subway to the Grey Papaya, a hot dog stand, and got a couple franks for dinner, and now we are back at the hotel!
