Summer Trip: Part IV

 We started this day off with breakfast at Stardust Diner. This is a unique cafe on Broadway where the servers sing Broadway songs while they are serving. It was a fun experience.



Following breakfast we walked around Times Square and did some shopping.







We got to see the famous Times Square naked cowboy. Of course I had to take a picture.



We then headed to see & Juliet on Broadway. This was such a cool show. Andy was not interested in seeing a Broadway show while we were there but he agreed afterward that it was a good show. Stella picked the show out and she did a great job of selecting one that everyone could enjoy. If you have a chance to see & Juliet, I highly recommend it.







After the show we headed to Top of the Rock for 360 degree views of NYC and to do the photo where we are sitting on the beam over NYC. You are basically recreating the famous picture from way back when of the construction workers enjoying their lunch on the beam.








We stopped by FAO Schwarz for a bit since we had time to kill and Max got to play the giant keyboard just like in the movie Big. This is located at Rockefeller Center and I will say that Rockefeller Center is MUCH SMALLER in person. I thought it would be bigger, but it's not. I honestly don't even know how they fit the ice rink in that small space in the winter.



Dinner was at a good Italian restaurant. We were all hot and a bit sweaty from the day and the restaurant wasn't that much cooler. That's ok because the food was pretty good and my Prosecco helped cool me off. Max ordered the fettuccini alfredo that was prepared table side via a giant cheese wheel. That was the highlight of his dinner. 



It was another hot and sticky day in NYC, but most of our activities on this day were inside so it wasn't too bad. The theme of our trip is hot, humid and a lot of walking...but tons of fun!
