At the end of July, Ryan and I went to NYC with our best friends Tracy and Mike. We had the best time. We started our first day walking around checking out Times Square and just taking it all in. We got on the streets and just got down a few blocks and we were approached by David Letterman's staff to answer two questions right about the show and we got tickets. So, we decided it would be fun to go. So, thanks to Tracy and Mike they answered both questions. We quickly found a place to grab lunch before the 4:30 taping of the show. We ate at Mariella's (which was voted by Oprah and Gayle as the #1 place for pizza). I am sure we gained 3lbs a slice. It was just right. We attended the show and it was really neat seeing how the show runs. We also were in the fourth row from the front and were seen on TV. That evening we went to a wonderful restaurant called "Hurleys". It was delicious (I think most of NYC is eat, eat, and eat). We then went on our carridge ride in Central Park. The next day we woke up early and began touring. We saw Ground Zero, Statue of Liberty, Staten Island, The Empire State Building, NY Stock Exchange, Central Park and many more sites. Our third day was great! We spent time shopping on Fashion Avenue and the famous Canal Streets. We have several stories from Canal St. Quite a different world. That evening was our big night in NYC. We ate dinner at The Tavern on the Green. We really didin't have high expectations. I thought it would just be a really fancy restaurant but actually it was great tasting food. Along with beautiful dining rooms. After dinner we went to the broadway show of "Grease". It was fun, especially seeing Taylor Hicks. Any broadway in NYC is fun! Our craziest time was when Tracy and I got up at 5am to see Miley Cyrus on the Today show. We went to get pictures for our girls and hope our family could see us on the show. We when first got there we were told we wouldn't get close enough to even see the stage. Well, Tracy and I managed to slowly work our way to the front. We were on TV a few times and had a good view. There were people right by us who slept over night. No way, we just were clever and moved our way up slowly. One of our favorites was our trip to "Serendipity" (famous dessert spot). The home of the $1,000 dessert. Tracy and I had the frozen hot chocolate and Ryan had a caramel sundae. It was delicious!
We had many more moments of fun including our adventure out to night clubs trying to spot a star. We did see "Andre 3000 from Outcast". He was really cool and took a picture. Well, I made a slide show, I hope you enjoy the rest of our trip!
