New York

I'm really behind in blogging... A few weeks ago Josh and I went out to New York for a road race he was doing. I'd only been to new york for half of a day (a few years ago). We had alot of fun. We visited the basics like Central Park (our hotel was only about 1/2 mile from it so we got to run there each morning) we went to "ground 0" and Magnolia's (the delicous bakery) and Grenich village etc. etc. We also got to go to the Broadway- "Mamma Mia" that's the one with the Abba music. It was good, and fun! We were going to wait in the Line for discount tickets for like $50 a piece (people said this was the best deal.) We ended up not having time to wait in the line so we went straight to the box office and got great seats for $30 each!

This is at the Hershey's chocolate store. Me drinking a huge thing of hershey's syrup. (america's chocolate is a bit, okay, more than a bit, behind that european stuff.)


All in all New York is really cool. But I do prefere a place that is less populated... I feel like in big cities you can't really be independent... you'r always waiting on a train, or traffic, or something like that. Hard to get to a grocery store etc. I like just being able to hop in my car and run a quick errand on my own time... plus, I like more open space, I for sure couldn't live in NYC.

Glad you had a good time in NYC!

Just a tip for anyone else going to nyc soon who stumbles upon your post, check out www.broadwaybox.com for discount to broadway shows of up to 50% or more! Helped me save a bundle and I just thought I'd pass it on.

I agree NYC is a fun place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. I'm so jealous you saw Mama Mia! I've been wanting to see that forever!
