Day 2 Of The Vacay ...


Day 2 started with a morning stroll through the Financial District.
I loved watching all the "suits" rushing to their jobs.
I then took the subway to meet Lyndee in Greenwich Village.

On the subway I met Omar.
Omar told me that I need to be grateful for President Obama in my life,
because he was going to start a draft,
and even though I am a woman I am going to be picked to go.
But I should be happy, because not only will I get to serve my country,
but I will also learn to drive a tank.

He then proceeded to talk to his imaginary friend.

I met Lyndee and her friend here for lunch during a beak in between their classes.
I loved this place!
It was a fun, funky place,
and we had a yummy Philly cheese steak wrap.

Lyndee then took me to Max Brenner, Chocolate by the Bald Man,

for one of these. 
A dessert pizza that was to DIE for! 
So divine!

I then set off on my own for a stroll through Central Park
and an afternoon of walking through the 
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I could spend days in this place.
I spent most of my time in the Modern Art wing,
the sculpture garden, and the Renaissance wing.
I was sad when they announced they were closing, and I had to leave.

I got on the subway to head and meet Lyndee.
The express train was closed down due to construction,
so instead of taking 15 minutes to get home it took over an hour.
The train was packed, and I was lucky enough to get a seat.
Until ...
 
a man who looked a lot like this guy came and sat next to me.
He proceeded to sing 
"All the single ladies, all the single ladies.
All the single ladies, all the single ladies."
over and over for the next hour.
It was really hard to keep a straight face,
and I was really happy to get to my stop.

Next I was off to meet Lyndee here...

to see Shrek,
and see Sutton Foster live!
I won't lie.
It wasn't my favorite show,
but there are a few really good songs,
and I loved seeing Sutton.

Then we went here for dinner.
Every time I am in NYC,  make it a point to go here.
Ellen's Stardust Diner.
I love it because the waiters and waitresses all sing while serving the food.
It is always such a  fun place.
We fell in love with this guy, Ben, who kept singing One Republic songs.
So good!

Was he singing it to you? And I love Omar, and I want those toasty marshmallows.
