phew!

what. a. day.

we were on our feet from about 10-1:30 in the morning! dad and i showed sissy and mom lincoln square after we got breakfast wraps at a yummy european cafe.

then we went to central park! it was so fun seeing parts of the park from different movies and tv shows (ahem..gossip girl season 2 finale)! sissy and i took a pic under the bridge from enchanted which we later found out was named #1 movie filmed in central park.

the bethesda fountain was under construction so that will be a fun place to go back to later in the summer once it's finished. it was crazy to think i was in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the world but it was so quiet and beautiful!

from there we headed to the metropolitan museum of art which is surrounded by central park/5th avenue. last gg reference i swear, but yogurt on the steps, anyone? :)

from there we grabbed a cab and (shockingly!) got a table at serendipity for dessert. sissy and i split three scoops of ice cream -- cinnamon, chocolate and vanilla -- with peanut butter on top! good gracious, it was SO good.

mom and dad split an iced coffee and fruit cup : ) and mom got a couple of their cookbooks...by complete surprise the author/owner of serendipity was there so he got to sign them!

off we went to the plaza hotel! i always loved the eloise books and movies...it was so fun seeing the place come to life.

we grabbed a few pics across the street at fao schwarz!

and louis vuitton of course!

from there sissy and i went and explored a little on our own and went shopping while mom and dad went to eat and get tickets for our broadway.

sissy and i got to see promises, promises (with kristin chenoweth from wicked and sean hayes from will&grace)! after the show we contemplated trying to get into the david letterman show but he isn't filming until the 9th so we walked down into times square and got dinner at the hard rock cafe.

i've been to the one in houston a couple times but i never really look around...what an incredible place! they had a ton of the beatles outfits and shakira's leather pants :) ow ow.

we ended the night at the back fence with mom and dad. dad's favorite guy was playing there so we had a fun time getting to know him and singing along to tiny dancer, sweet caroline, and space cowboy.

can't believe tonight is there last night.
