Eating Our Way Thru NYC

I teased everyone before we left that I was only going to eat ..... Let's just say we did eat a lot!

When we got there Sunday evening we were hungry, in a hurry and trying to get our bearings. We ended up eating pizza inside a convenient store. It was actually really good!


After our cruise we ate at the bar while Gary watched wrestling. I didn't take a picture but I wish I had. It was the best appetizer sampler I have ever had!  All homemade & baked not fried. So good!

Monday morning we had breakfast at the Starlight Diner where the waitstaff are all people trying to get on Broadway.  So not only do they serve food but they also preform!  We got to see them do a lot of songs but they also did Phantom of the Opera & I was so excited!



We had lunch from a cart on the street. Chicken gyros - Yum! 


After Fallon we went to the Playrights Tavern. We sat upstairs in a really nice bar with a nice view. I had a portobello mushroom sandwich and Gary had some kind of porkchops. 


We skipped breakfast Tuesday but did stop at one of the five million Starbucks for coffee. And they put my name on both cups which I thought was funny!


Gary eventually got hungry so we stopped for a cookie. 


Before we left we had lunch at McGees, the bar that McClarens is based on in the show How I Met Your Mother. We shared mac n cheese. I had sliders & Gary had a BBQ chicken sandwich.

TV Junkies

We spent our last few hours looking up landmarks from our favorite TV shows/movies. 

The first thing we found was the New York Public Library. This is my favorite scene from the Sex & The City movie. I cry every single time!


We found where the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld is. 


Then we had lunch at the pub that inspired the bar on How I Met Your Mother. 



We finished up with Gary getting a cupcake from The Cake Boss.

Who knew Mondays could be so much fun?!??

We were lucky enough to score tickets online last month for today's taping of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. It was such a fun experience & I'm really glad we got to do it!  Fun once we got into the show that is... The 3 hours leading up to it consisted of a lot of be here at this time, now wait in a line. Now come back at this time and wait in another line. No. Don't wait here it's a fire hazard. Go find something to do. But make sure you are back in time or you don't get in!  






Once you finally get in it's a very top secret operation!  Absolutely no phones. It was really awesome to be behind the scenes though!

Then after dinner we wandered over to a comedy club!  So we have just been laughing all evening!

Exploring

After breakfast we just went & walked around. We went thru Times Square. We walked down 5th Avenue. We stumbled upon the LOVE sculpture!  Now a little nap then off to Fallon!

Harbor Lights Cruise

Best $60 I ever spent!

While I sit at a bar with Gary so he can watch WWE Summer Slam PPV & eat the best "bar food" I have ever had, I thought I could share a few pics from the cruise we went on this evening!










Shout out to the cute girls from Spain for taking pictures of us that weren't selfies!


And We're Off!


We made it to the bus station on time and away we go!  

Our driver just made an announcement no drinking alcohol or smoking on the bus. If the driver can't get drunk & high neither can you.... Hahaha

A pit stop in Philly...

45 minutes in Philadelphia ...  

A pit stop in Philly is definitely the pits!  

I had a few bites of a questionable hot dog. 

I met the bus station mascot. 



And I witnessed some amazing spelling!
