New York part 2 | woensdag 6 juli 2011
I've been in New York a little bit over week now, and it is soo hot over here! Almost everyday it's been over 30+ degrees. I'm glad every store and restaurant has airconditioning, because I'm melting. Especially at the subway stations.
We've done so many things past few days that it all kinda blurred together in my mind. I'll try to remember it as best as I can! We planned our own little Sex and the City tour, since we didn't want to pay 50 bucks. Luckily Google maps is always there when you need it. We visited Magnolia Bakery, the cutest little bakery where you can get any fill of sweetness. The store was a little too small for all the sugar addicts, but the cupcakes made up for it! I must say these where the most delicious/cutest cupcakes I've ever had!
Afterwards we went to see Carrie's house, which was really nearby! (Perry street 66) We weren't the only ones who wanted to take a picture at her front door. Imagine how frustrating it must be for the people who live there to have people taking pictures of their house all day long!
On the 4th of July we went to Central park and there where so many festive things going on! Music and rollerblade disco. Central Park is a really great place to escape the city for a while and enjoy the company of the cutest squirrels. I wish there was a park like this near my home! People where jogging, riding bikes, sleeping and enjoying picknicks. The heat was so intense I couldn't imagine to go jogging! Also, Central park is HUGE and you get lost pretty easily. We spend almost the entire day there.
Afterwards we went to the Hudson river to enjoy the 4th of July fireworks. Since the police where blocking some roads it was very crowded. But nobody was pushing and the atmosphere was great! When the show started everyone began to cheer. The fireworks where so gorgeous! Thousand of sparkling lights filling the sky. Even with figure fireworks, I never quite understood how they do that.
Like all tourist visiting New York we have our Broadway tickets ready for tonight! We have pretty amazing seats (and expensive) for Wicked, I can hardly wait. Have some more pictures in the meanwhile.
