Arriving Grand Central
Station |
So, I’m running behind on our blogs again! Oops. I say this is part 1, because I am sure we will take several more trips to NYC. Nicki (our new friend from Missouri) was going to head there two weeks ago (during the power outage) for the day and see Phantom of the Opera, so we decided to invite ourselves along. We were kind of sick of being in the dark and having absolutely nothing to do. Nicki of course loved the idea and off we were on a Thursday morning at the crack of dawn and headed to NYC! We took the train from New Haven so we wouldn’t have to drive in the city! The train is so convenient! So once we got into Grand Central Station, Hayley and I of course took our first picture of NYC!!! It was Hayley’s first time to the city (I went in 2007 with Lauren), so it was fun to see her reaction! Then we took the subway and headed to Times Square to get our Phantom tickets! After standing in line for a few minutes, getting cussed out by rude people, we finally got our tickets. We then headed to find a bathroom (of course). We went to a deli/bakery and felt bad we were using the facilities, so we bought a cupcake, German chocolate that is! It was delish! We then headed to Bryant Park, passing some Disney characters along the way. We were going to go ice skating, but since there weren’t many people there, we decided against it and headed back to Times Square and found ourselves roaming around Toys R Us. Yes we are dorks, but we let the inner child come out and play
J. So after enjoying our time in the toy store for an hour, we left headed to Rockefeller Center to check out that ice skating rink. We took a few pictures, got in trouble for sitting on the wall, then decided to find some food!!! We ate at a yummy pub that was actually priced pretty cheap (we’re cheap remember). Each of our meals was only $9! How amazing is that?! My cousin Stephanie came and met us for lunch, we visited for a few, then off to the Phantom of the Opera! It was so awesome! The Venue was great and the singing was amazing. Nicki and I thoroughly enjoyed it, not so sure about Hayley though. Maybe it was because she fell asleep during it, hahahaha. Oh well. Once the show was over, it was about 430pm, and we decided we should at least see Central Park. While there, we were talked into taking a stupid bike tour. It cost us $60, and I think we could have walked faster than we were biked, and would have been more comfortable. All three of us tried to fit into a two person carriage. Not our brightest idea, oh well it was an adventure in itself! So once our hour long bike tour finished, we headed back to Grand Central Station, go some dinner and hopped on the train back to New Haven. On the train ride back, I sat next to a guy whose wife is from a small town near Mobile. How random is that?! This was a very fun trip, and we can wait to have more NYC adventures! Till’ next time,
