–Arrival at Newark: I recommend flying in here for the ease of using all trains to get to the City

–Anything Goes (with Joel Gray!): Plans changed for this evening because Heather’s plane was cancelled. Unfortunately, par for the course since she always seems to have some sort of travel disaster. So I killed time at the theatre! Anything Goes is old school Broadway, so it was fun getting to see a classic.

–Chelsea Market for lunch: too many great shops and restaurants to describe! I even saw the market where Rachel Ray shops.

–The High Line Park: Our friend, April, who lives there took us to this really cool park/greenspace which has been converted from an old elevated railroad track.

–Shopping and Walking: The weather was beautiful so we continued outside with a couple of stores, mostly window shopping and enjoying being in NYC.

–Coffee Bean Pitstop: My favorite West Coast coffee chain now has three NYC locations, so I dragged Heather there a couple of times.

–Dinner at Bocca di Bacco: Delicious Italian cuisine and great decor. Too bad we weren’t super hungry!

–Peter and the Starcatchers: Brilliant, inventive staging! Really fun show.

–Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market: Found a couple of great jewelry buys and had a blast just looking at everything.

–Hester Street Fair: Lunch was hard to choose amongst all the great vendors, but we settled on a Mexican grilled cheese sandwich with cabbage slaw from Little Muenster. Yum!

–Walk Brooklyn Bridge: Heather’s never taken this walk, so we made it over there. Beautiful day for it!

–Dinner at Pier 9: Delicious seafood! We had more of an appetite this night, and I was sooooo glad.

–Newsies: The culmination of the trip, and so worth the wait! It was awesome, and we were giddy as schoolgirls!

–Left for Newark: All good things eventually end.
