Day 2 of New York was a day we had with absolutely nothing pre-planned. We headed out to get lost in the Big Apple. Along the way we did see Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall. I was hoping to catch a Jimmy Fallon taping, or at least catch a glimpse of him (like the stalker that I am) but no such luck. We then headed to Central Park where we decided the best way to see the park would be via Rickshaw. I mean why not? Our tour guide was pretty awesome and pointed out all of the places where different movies were shot and shared all kinds of fun facts about the park. It might have been a totally touristy thing to do but it was a pretty great way to see a large portion of the park in a couple of hours. It also allowed us to get a few pictures together without having to give a random person on the street my camera and fear them running away with it! That in itself was worth it to me! A couple of the spots we saw were the Bow Bridge, the Bethesda Fountain (featured in Home Alone), Strawberry Fields (memorial for John Lennon), the boat house and the towers from GhostBusters! I even spotted the sidewalk from Big Daddy where they trip the guy on the rollerblades, I know I'm pretty amazing. You could spend days in Central Park and not see everything I guarantee you that. On our way back from the Park we stopped at Serendipity for some of their famous Frozen Hot Chocolate. Delicious, worth every cent of the $10.50 price tag! After our sugar high we rested up for a night out on the town. We had dinner and then stopped by a Karaoke Bar near our hotel. Neither of us got up to sing, but had a great time enjoying everyone else that was brave! The last picture on this post is a view from our room of the NYC Skyline. It really is incredible.
