Hi Everyone,
We continue to stay busy enjoying the City. Yesterday was a cold and rainy day. After we wrote in our blog, we were on a quest for brunch. Who knew that Sunday brunch was "the thing" to do in NY? Every restaurant we went to had an incredible wait. Finally Eric said that he found a place for us. It was called the High Life Bar. It looked like one of those sketchy bars with darkened windows and a neon martini glass in the window. I said no way am I going to eat in there and he insisted. It ended up being one of the best brunches ever (and without the wait!) Once inside, there was better ambience, and the best part was that while we were waiting for our breakfast, they served buttered white toast with cinnamon and sugar. Yummy! I haven't had that since I was a kid! And they served it with strawberry butter, which Eric loved.
After breakfast we decided to go back to our hotel and wait out the rain. It finally cleared around 4 pm and we were able to walk through Central Park. We then headed to Times Square to watch Mama Mia! What an incredible, upbeat show it was! We left the theater singing and laughing! It was so much fun - and we both agreed that it is one of our favorite musicals. We were on such a high when we left that we decided to be adventurous and take the subway to the Upper Eastside to get a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity's. Now, I've heard about their notoriously long lines, but this was 10:30 p.m. on a freezing cold Sunday night. Well, wouldn'tcha know that the wait was an hour! We decided to skip it, and have since called and made reservations for Thursday evening. We had an adventure trying to get back to our hotel, which ended with us just taking a taxi back to our hotel.
And now for today.....
Another great day! We had a late breakfast and then walked through Central Park to 5th Avenue, where we watched the St. Patrick's Day parade. What a cool experience! It was so much fun and so great to see the Irish pride in this City. From Central Park, we walked down to Rockefeller Center to Dean & Delucca's. I had been telling Eric about their black and white cookies, so we thought we'd get some. But they didn't have any, so we got a black and a white cupcake instead. Yummy! From there, we made it down to the Hudson River to take a 2 hour harbor cruise. That was amazing - we saw the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge up close. But, it was freezing cold! I have never felt so cold before. After the cruise, we started the 2 mile walk back to our hotel and ate dinner at a yummy Thai restaurant. As you can see, it's been a busy few days. But we're having a blast, and the best part is being able to wander all over the place and discover new and interesting things and places. Hope you are all doing well! Thanks for the comments and e mails back - we like hearing from you. Take care!

So, who ya gonna call?
Funny how you find those movie locations when you least expect it, but then there have been 100's and 100's of movies in NYC huh?
Must have been pretty scary on top og the Empire - too bad you didn't toss a penny over and see if it crushed a car or worse...(just kidding, I know better :-))
Sounds like all you are doing is hiling for food (hahahaha) you probably need the exercise to burn off each meal ;-)
Glad you're having a great time, stop writing cause you know how mom is about that stuff :-) (she'll see this, I am sure).
Ok, the fun NYC is over, now it's time for the purse snatch mugging store robbery car chase kidnap to China stuff :-)
Don't forget to shop at ALL the stores you see cause Eric doesn't have the computer with him :-) hahaha.
xoxoxo-D
