NYC 2011

Saturday:
Took the train into NYC from Newark.
Went to McDonalds for breakfast.
Went to the South Shore for  TKTS and shopping.
Wall Street.
Katz Deli.
Memphis on Broadway.
Train back to Newark.

Katz was delicious.
Memphis was good - but I didn't really keep me singing the tunes all night long. The high note was that, as a fan of Rent, it was cool that I recognzied the leading man in Memphis as the leading man in Rent. He was my least favorite character and actor -- but alas! Earwax. I saw someone I recognized by name and by voice.

Sunday:
Train the NYC from Newark with all the luggage.
Dropped off bags at Hotel and ate breakfast there.
Went to Church.
Back to hotel to change.
Rockefeller Center.
Apple Store.
FAO Schwartz.
Dinner at some random Deli that was pretty good..
Cheesecake from Carnegie Deli.

Church was the best part of the day. It was crazy. First of all I saw Naomi from taza-and-husband.blogspot.com outside. She's not as cute in real life as on her blog. She looked to thin and trendy. Then you go up into this buidling and you are in a normal looking church. I saw some kids I recognized from BYU but not real friends. The bishop of the singles ward (that we attended) is our neighbors dad so it was intersting. He's very nice.

Monday:
Ice Skating in Central Park.
Lunch at Cosi.
Shopping at American Girl (for Rosie) and H&M (for me).
Dinner at the Shake Shack and dessert from PinkBerry.

Ice skating was the best part of the trip.

Tuesday:
Downtown for TKTS and 9/11 memorial.
American History Museum (love!)
Phantom (love!)
Juniors (yet another deli - love!)

Wednesday:
shopped
walked in central park
ate pizza
flew home


I love NYC and I love Duane Reade.

Combination Man

Whenever I listen to The Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack (Sunday showers) I tell myself that I need to marry Tevia.

I want a man that treasts his family like Tevia does. Also his love for the Lord and his Faith is beyond comforting.

If I Were a Rich Man Lyrics: "And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day. That would be the sweetest thing of all."
