So many of my beginning posts will be about things or trips that have happened a few years ago. I want to be able to share and document my experiences for myself and for others! In June my two friends and I went to New York City for our Senior Trip. While most people went south to a beach, we headed north to the city.
This is the second time that I had been there so my friends and I skipped over some of the more touristy attractions. However when we first arrived we did head to Central Park. It is so big that you can never explore the entire thing!
That night we went to one of the best Italian restaurants I have been too. We ate at Azalea on 51st between 8th and Broadway. I had Veal Ravioli and it was delicious! After dinner we saw The Lion King. I was so impressed with the performance but it is a Disney show so only the best is expected.
It rained all day Friday. Literally. ALL. DAY. I don't think we saw the sun once that day. Because of the rain, we went to the MET. There are so many fascinating exhibits. My favorite exhibit was the Egyptians.
While we were exploring, we found this artist making a sketch. I was shocked how
detailed the drawing was.
We ate dinner at Ruby Foo's and headed over to see Once. We got soaked standing in the rain waiting to enter the theater, but once the show started, it was all worth it. I now know why it won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The show was so different from any other performance I have seen. The story, music, and actors were all amazing and brought something unique to the performance. The actors are the orchestra and the entire show takes place in one set. I highly recommend this show to everyone.
We waited outside for the actors but it was raining so hard and we didn't have big umbrellas, we decided to leave and get cheesecake. Once again, New York City has some of the best food! We got cheesecake from Junior's. It was a huge slice and well worth the price! (They also have some great burgers if you are looking to go somewhere for lunch).
