WE saw a Broadway show: WICKED
yes we are wearing practically the same outfit. i had no choice - i didn't have much flexibility with what i packed but i think we're pretty darn cute if i do say so myself...even if we were dressed like twins.
WE went to the opera: Dr. Atomic
i was bragging to anyone who would listen that my brother was performing. he was amazing. i was SO proud! read reviews here and here and here and here and here. we were being silly girls until we were told to put our camera away...joy-kill-opera-guards. but they did let us go backstage, even though tom couldn't get our names on the list.
"In smaller roles, tenor Thomas Glenn and powerhouse contralto Meredith Arwady are standouts." i personally thought that Thomas and Meredith were tops for the show. she sang some amazing low, low notes for a girl - i thought she rocked. Thomas of course always wows.
as a side note, while i was googling my brother, i found this. and if you happen to be in the atlanta area in late november you can catch him here or in the san francisco area in early December, you can catch him here. he's handsome right?!
WE saw a show taped live: Conan O'brien
i've been a huge fan for a long time. it was too fun to see it all live. plus harry connick jr. (rrrroooowwwwrrr) was on so that was a TOTAL bonus. see here: conan rocks. of course i have no photos, but it was a blast.
WE did the tourist thing: Statue of Liberty/Empire State Building
brave little bird...
WE ate lots of yummy food: Serendipity 3, Westway Diner, etc.
WE stayed in style: Marriott Marquis
it was so convenient staying in times square, but the 'vegas' feel of it all was a little tiring. big thanks go to heather's hubby to totally hooked us up with the room and the great view. thanks ryan!
WE shopped to our hearts content: macy's, banana, gap, dylan's candy bar, times square, etc, etc, etc...
finally on our last day, we were all able to be together for lunch (we'd had a hard time connecting up to that point...). we dined at Carmine's. i loved being with my family, even for a brief and busy visit. we had some good laughs over lunch and we all left stuffed and very happy.
this dessert is called TITANIC:
"Chocolate torte with 5 jumbo scoops of ice cream, fresh whipped cream, fruit, cookies, chopped hazel nuts and chocolate sauce."
the thing served all of us. it was YUM.
travelogue complete.
