Last weekend I went to NY to visit the roomie, AR and her family! On Saturday we had quite a marathon day running all over NYC from Soho to Little Italy and then all the way through Times Square to The Upper East Side and Central Park. We started our day in Times Square at the New Amsterdam Theater where we scored student rush tickets to the 8 PM show of Mary Poppins! We went and haggled in Chinatown, and made some successful purchases, then we traversed a few blocks and ate lunch in Little Italy at an adorable restaurant where we sat outside and watched everything that was going on on the street! After Little Italy we went back to Times Square and Grand Central Station to explore a bit more. I had to see the place where the opening scene of my favorite guilty pleasure, Gossip Girl, was shot! After Grand Central we took the subway to the Upper East Side (once again hello Gossip Girl...). We went to the Met but decided that we didn't have enough time to explore the huge museum properly so that is number one on the to do list for our next trip...
Then we went into Central Park to see the little sailboats and the Loeb Boathouse!
Central Park was so beautiful and absolutely packed with people! Who knew a city surrounded this beautiful piece of nature?!
Mary Poppins that night was incredible. The theater was gorgeous and the sets were utterly amazing!
Love the roomie and her family who hosted me for the weekend!!!
so glad you enjoyed yourself!! see you soon! xoxo
