New York - Take Two

Another day, another lovely trip to New York.  Have I mentioned how much I love living so close (not close enough for me, though) to the Big Apple?  It makes it so simple to get there and back for a quick day trip.  This year I thought I'd try something different and go once a month - so far I'm on track, 2 for 2.  However, this trip was a little different.  I think I may have become a real New Yorker or was just completely unlucky - you can be the judge.

Real New Yorkers always have that story of something that happened to them that could only have happened in the city.  For me it was being elbowed in the head on purpose by some crazy person that decided I was in his way in the cross walk.  I'm not even sure how I'm supposed to respond to that.  I guess you're supposed to grab your head, say ouch and keep walking in the opposite direction as to not irritate the dude anymore.  Even if that's not what you're supposed to do, that's what I did.  No harm, no foul I suppose.  The worst part is, it's not even a good story.  How does "being elbowed in the head" even sound remotely interesting?

Anyway, food for this trip was provided by The Carnegie Deli (Pastrami and Eggs - Yum!) and John's Pizza (Always yum!). We didn't get much shopping in, based on the area of town we were in, but managed to get in lots of steps.  Then it was off to Disaster! The Musical, which was anything but.  I loved it!  Seeing as it was in previews, it makes sense that the first act was a bit rough - great gags but a little disjointed.  However, the second half was perfect! The casting was spot on, most especially Jennifer Simard and Faith Prince.  And I already have a theatre crush on Seth Rudetsky, so he was also perfect in my eyes. If you're in need of some laughs, I'd definitely get to the Nederlander before July!

 It's been FOREVER since I've seen St. Patrick's without the scaffolding - she sure cleans up nice!


 The blue ball cap right in the middle - that's Brian d'Arcy James if you can't tell - because honestly, why would you be able to? Don't these random strangers know it's not nice to get in my way? : )
 He's got the whole world in his hands...









 New York Public Library - of course I had to have my picture taken there!



Just 7 more months...
