The New York Chronicles

First of all I’d like to say we spent most of our time at Duane Reade thanks to my mothers and my obsession with drug stores.

Wednesday  – Traveling


-Woke up and worked out – I knew I’d be eating myself to death.
-Continental President’s Club in Houston: Fancy Chairs, cheese and crackers, newspapers…. Funny.
-Business First Class!!!! You know in The Holiday when Cameron Diaz is in that crazy technical first class seat that lays all the way down and is so spacious and has a TV….. this is how everyone should travel!

-Newark, N.J. to Times Square via Taxi ---- Through the Lincoln Tunnel, just like Elf said, basically I ended up comparing my whole entire trip to things that happened in a movie or TV show – and mostly Elf.

-Time Square! Lights, fun, people watching, crazy!
-Carnegie Deli – I had to go there, we’ve all heard that Adam Sandler Hanukah Song – and who doesn’t love Jews and food. Biggest Rueben of my life and delicious “New York Style” cheesecake.

 -We had to go on a walk after a meal like that – so we went to Central Park and walked around it. So pretty.
