New York City |

I have cankles.

This morning we woke up – lounged around – got a doughnut at dunkin doughnuts and then ventured off to Broadway to try and get lottery tickets for Wicked (third time’s the charm, right?) WRONG. We had to transfer trains and ended up standing on the wrong platform and so we got to the lottery place (after running home alone style) at 12:01. ONE MINUTE LATE. And we couldn’t enter to win :'( I basically started bawling, especailly because the crowd was super small and our chances of winning were a lot better.

Anywho, to brighten our spirits, we headed over to Radio City Music Hall and went on a tour. They are setting up for the Tony’s and so it was cool to see all of the behind the scene work that is going on.

After Radio City we went down to Eately and got some lunch. Yum! After that we took the Subway Uptown and went to the top of Rockefeller:

The views were awesome. So much fun! (my cankles and general lack of blood flow to my lower extremities kind of ruined the moment, but it was cool nonetheless.)

After that, Cari and I went back and rested and then we went with my cousin Megan (who we are staying with) and got a burger at Shake Shack and ate down by the Hudson. I may or may not have hey girled Lady Liberty.

I LOVE YOU,

p.s. here is what I have going on right now:

The saga of a blistered foot:

Today was amazing! It was hot and humid, but amazing. My feet are all blistered and I have cankles but it’s all good. We started the day off with some delicous bagels + smear. yum! Then we ventured down towards Broadway and we got on a double decker tour bus (just to get the lay of the land) and it took it us all through Uptown. Yay! First we went up on the Upper West Side – through Morningside Heights and Harlem and then back down the Upper East Side (where I am going to be living). It was nice to see what that area has (so much stuff!) Cause I am going to be off looking for adventures in that area pretty soon!

After the Uptown tour, Cari and I jumped on the Downtown tour. It was SO hot. We sat in traffic under the hot sun and it about killed us both! After going through Times Square Soho, Greenwich Village, and Chinatown – we hopped off and headed back to the theater district so that we could try and get lottery tickets to see Wicked. We didn’t end up getting them which was so sad – but, after getting a little snack and drink we were feeling up to getting BACK ON the bus (we can’t even believe it after it almost killed us earlier) for the night tour. It was so much fun! Our guide was hilarious and with the sun down and less traffic – the weather up on the double decker was perfect. We wound through downtown and then went over the Manhattan Bridge over to Brooklyn (this part gave us some supa good views of Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge). We drove around Brooklyn a little bit too. Love how green all the trees are.

After the tour ended, we took the subway down to Little Italy and ate some pizza at the famous Lombardi’s. It was DELISH. After dinner, we got ourselves a fried oreo at the street fair. It was so good. Might have to make the trip down there more often…
