Things to do in New York City
In no particular order, some of the awesome things that we got to do in New York over the course of a week or so:
The only bad thing was that we had to leave eventually as there is still so much more to see and do. Untold adventures await us on our next trip into the Big Apple I'm sure. I know, I know, this is a pretty lame breakdown of multiple extended stories that could be told about our trip, but that will all have to come either later on or has already been told in person and it's getting late and really I just want to get this up on the net and be done with it. So here it is!
Remember, photos to accompany some of this are up at my Flickr site
eat great burgers in a really cool cafe after waiting in a lineup for 45 minutes.
go up the Empire State Building early on the most perfect day all week for long distance views. This was two days before seeing Peter Jackson's King Kong so it was pretty apropos
take a photo of a couple who's camera had run out of batteries just as we got to the Statue of Liberty on the boat tour
order takeout from a Mexican place that arrived so quickly we barely had time to get the table cleared to sit down and eat (and it was good too!). Who would ever cook for themselves with that sort of service?
try vainly to get cupcakes from Magnolia (featured in the internet meme video The Chronic-What-Cles of Narnia!), despite several attempts
buy some very cool boots and shoes
traipse through Central Park taking silly photos
eat pastrami on rye at Katz's deli (think Sally's orgasm scene in When Harry Met Sally)
stare in delight at the wonderfulness that was Wicked: The Musical
spend heaps of time chilling out with our favourite New Yorkers Dave & Sarah (transplanted) and Jill & Brett (native)
triple overtime basketball action between the Knicks and the Suns (& our favourite Canadian Steve Nash)
mange on divine coal fired oven baked pizza at Grimaldi's in Brooklyn
play lots of cards with Dave & Sarah, including at the Brooklyn Brewery cellardoor!
generally have a wicked time
