We slept in and then headed out to get some lunch at a restaurant called The Redeye Grill.
Cyndi and I both ordered the huge chinese chicken salad.
We looked like a bunch of grapes..
After lunch we headed to see a musical called ‘Jersey Boys.' It takes you behind the music of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. It is a rags-to-riches tale of four blue-collar kids working their way from the streets of Newark to the heights of stardom. It was amazing to look to the right and left and see everyone’s feet tapping along to music. I had no idea prior to the show how many songs that I would know. It featured such hits as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Oh, What a Night,” and countless others.
Following the show, we walked around to the MOMA Design Store which features unique pieces for purchase.After a full day, Cyndi, Hope, and Kelly wanted to go back to the room and rest. Taylor and I were running on all cylinders and decided to be major tourists. NYC was hosting the MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall. We stood among the crowds and watched the red carpet. We actually had a great few and saw many stars including (of course I made a list): Kristin Cavallari, Kanye West, Jimmy Fallon, Sway, Jack Black, Ron Jeremy, Katy Perry, Lo Bosworth, Whitney Port, Ashley Green, Alicia Keys, Perez Hilton, and Tracy Morgan.
Below is a view from across the street (not where we were standing)
We stayed out a bit longer than expected and had to rush home. We figured the fastest way for us to get back to the hotel would be to take a petty cab home. But before we could do that we made him take a lap around the block so that we could ride on the blocked off street in front of the VMAs. We were surrounded by limosines and Taylor took the time to wave to onlookers and letting them know that we had finally arrived. I mean, some of the celebs showed up in vehicles such as a firetruck so why not a petty cab, right?
Below is the best petty cab driver in NYC. His name is Brian and he about killed us but it was definately an experience that Taylor and I will not soon forget.
Taylor and I literally ran into the hotel. With absolutely no time to spare, we changed and headed out to dinner at A.J. Maxwells. Taylor told the concierge that she wanted a "good steak" and it was their recommendation. It is located at historic Rockefeller Center in the heart of mid-town Manhattan. Every bite that we had was fantastic and it was definately one of the best dinners I have had in a long time.
Kelly and I at dinner
We toasted to a great trip and walked back after dinner with our bellies full.
