New York Day 2

Day 2 started off with us sleeping in a bit; like 12 hours of sleep. It felt goooood! We wanted to get down to the empire state building early to avoid lines but that didn't happen. The line was suppose to be an hour and a half long but since we bought these cool city-passes to see all the sights they bumped us to the front of the line. And up we went 80 floors and then about 6 more. It was fun looking our over this humongous city. Two things we have noticed about the city. The subway gets more white as you get closer to downtown and there doesn't seem to be fat people in New York. Seriously, maybe everybody has to walk so much. Also people seem to dress much more modestly than in LA.







After the morning we returned to the apartment to meet Stina's friends Emily, Renn, and Oliver; our dental friends from Philadelphia. We tried to get show tickets but the place didn't open early enough and we had to meet our friends. We took off down to Greenwich (pronounced grin icth) to walk around and get some cupcakes from Magnoilia Bakery. They were really good. Stina thought they were heaven though. Obviously I'm a guy and had the chocolate and she had Key Lime .

So as we walked back from the bakery we passed one of MANY flower shops. But there were some blue roses that caught Stina's eye so she called Emily over to have a look and when she lifted up the reed curtain (on the left of the pic) some vases full of water and sunflowers fell all over her! She immediately yelled , "I didn't toucdh anything, it wasn't me!" We all laughed since no one else had been near her. The owner came out and put the stuff back up and gave Stina some paper towels to wipe herself off. Her she is trying to dry off one of her shoes.


We thought this looked cool as we walked down Canal street in Chinatown but all it is is the entrance to some bridge into the Bronx.
We tried to go to a Chinese restaurant recommended by Kyndra but it was closed down. We found another really nice place around the corner and I went to town on that stuff.

Luckily we found Wicked tickets online at the last minute and got all dressed up for the occasion. We got to see it in the eight row but over on the side. They were great seats in the Gertshwin Theater.
