NYC with GJ+GB: Day 2


Hanging out on the terrace of our room. Mimi and Doc so generously let us have the mini-suite with the terrace, so we could have a place to hang out after little man went to bed. It was so much fun and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

We had a private tour 4 hour tour that took us to all of the NYC highlights. It was great because it was a little rainy Saturday morning. We walked a few blocks in Time Square while GB stayed in the van. They had the street blocked off so we were literally walking down Broadway.


At about 1pm, it was time for a lunch break and our tour guide, Marshall, suggested Joe's pizza. It was almost as good as Grimaldi's, but not quite :)  There is nothing better than eating a slice on the streets of NYC!

While we were on the tour, we just so happened to pass by the original Magnolia Bakery and we just HAD to stop. It was self serve and Mimi and I had a blast choosing all different kinds! We saved them for later....

Mmmm....I LOVE these cupcakes! 
After the tour and a quick cupcake break at the hotel, it was time for more exploring. We headed straight for Rockefeller Center and on to Central Park....
No trip to NYC is complete without buying a whole stash of $5 pashminas!!! Mimi and I also got side tracked by some $5 jewelry!
Ah, there's nothing like a nice rest in Central Park and what did we do?....played on our i-phones. We have to stay current with facebook ;)
"Now if I could just figure out how to get past this last rock!..."

On our way to our favorite Italian spot, Bottega Del Vino, I spotted a street fair and Mimi and I just HAD to stop....what sane person can resist $2 jewelry, $5 sunglasses, and knock off designer purses!!! Needless to say, we spent WAY too much time shopping and the rest of our group heading to the restaurant to get the table. I LOVE street fairs!
Another wonderful weekend in the city!  Thanks again, Mimi and Doc, for treating us to such a great time! This was us hanging out in the room looking over all of the days purchases!  I can't believe the weekend has flown by so quickly! FUN TIMES!!!
