New York day 2

Today was another busy day. We started with breakfast at a restaurant called Juniors, just down the street. It was delicious!

From breakfast we made our way to a few stores at Times Square (M&Ms and Hershey) but didn't buy anything. We also saw a massive Lego structure built from over 5 million Lego pieces promoting a new Star Wars series or game (not sure which). It was really cool!

We then walked to 5th ave and did some shopping. Gwen bought a dress at Ann Taylor and we both bought items from H&M. We even went to Saks on 5th Avenue, just to say we have been. It was massive - 10 floors of clothing and accessories. Not quite the same as the Bay but close. The major difference being the price, Gwen found some dresses for $800 and we found a sport coat for $2000 (which didn't even look good, in my opinion). 

After shopping we went back to Rockefeller centre for lunch and reserving two tickets for the NBC tour Friday at 6pm. We then went to the museum of modern art and spent over 2 hrs checking out all of the pieces of art. 

After the museum we took the subway back to the hotel. The subway was very full today as it was raining this afternoon. It was so full that we barely fit into the car - I was right against the door and there was barely enough room for the door to close. Luckily I had more room than the guy who's coat got caught between the doors. 

We had dinner at a pub about 5 mins from our hotel. I had a beer sampler and was disappointed with the beer - of the six types I only liked one...

After dinner we quickly showered and got ready for the Lion King. The show was AMAZING! The costumes and props were really well done and the acting was superb. Well worth the tickets. 

Now we are back at the hotel getting ready for bed. Tomorrow we will do the 9/11 memorial in the morning and hopefully do the High Line which is an old elevated roadway or train line that has been transformed into a walkway. We will see what the weather is like tomorrow, if it is too rainy we will have to think of something else. 

Well, time for bed. Goodnight!
