I "Heart" New York!

There is no other City I like to visit more than New York! I would be happy if I could go every 6 months. There is always something new to see and experience in this beautiful City. Our first day in New York was spent in the Ed Sullivan Theater, we saw "The Lateshow with David Letterman"! The guest were actress, Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives) and singer, Colbie Calliet (Bubbly). We made sure to be the loudest "Clappers, Whistlers, and Yellers" in the audience, hoping to be able to "Hear" ourselves on T.V. Rob even got repremended for yelling out Paul the keyboardest name. (I could not stop laughing) We even stopped to visit with Rupert at the "Hello Deli". Then we headed to Broadway, where we saw "Legally Blonde" (good choice Ellie). We got great Orchestra seats through TKTS! One of the best things about New York is their transportation system. We rode the Subway every where! We just loaded up our Metro Card and we were set! We only used a Taxi a couple of times. The weather of course was freezing but, bearable! We even had some very sunny days. It only rained one day, but it gave us a chance to wear our adorable galoshes that we don't get to wear very often in California. Another thing New York really knows about is FOOD! My "Healthy Eating" went right out the window when we discovered the "Magnolia Bakery" (featured in O magazine). The line to get one of these delectable Cupcake or desserts wrapped around the shop! As you can tell from the boxes on the table, we frequented this establishment often! We also made sure to eat at Katz's Deli (from the movie, When Harry Met Sally, "I'll have what she's having!") Their Pastrami Rubens are huge and to die for. I also could not go to New York with out having Carnegie Deli's Famous Sugar Cookie Crust Cheese Cake! And for all the "Foodies" out there, you must visit the Chelsea Market (Allison's Pick). It was once and old Biscuit Bakery Warehouse and it is now a one stop culinary food shop, a gourmet lover's retail wonder and chic hotspot, all meshed into a million square feet of space. We ate Crab Bisque at the ever so fresh "Lobster Place". Just make sure to go to this market hungry! Another favorite to do in New York, SHOPPING! Of course we hit Canal Street in China Town. The haven for Fake Purses, jewlery and my kids favorite: Pirated, just released Movies on DVD. (they were happy to get "Alvin and the Chipmunks") Rob sure is a good barginer. Next on our shopping list, TIFFANY & CO. (Thanks Carol for the "Fun $") There is nothing like that "Little Blue Box"!!! We had such a blast on this trip and were so lucky to share it with Matt and Allison. They are perfect traveling buddies! We can't wait for our next visit back to New York, we already have a new "To Do" list for next time! But, next time I think we'll visit in early summer, I really want to do more in Central Park!
