[tinkgurl]

Oooh Bobby Flay! That food looks yummy!

Ahhhh...that snake!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

You all looked so pretty at dinner.

IT'S LADIES NIGHT IN NYC!!!

Anna's choice sounds amazing...I'm sure all of it was good. Even though I don't eat seafood.

No comment on the sssss!

Times Square at night is so cool with all the lights!

I'm so curious to hear about the Disney part....

 

[KatGarcia]

I have always wanted to go to mesa grill but the food all seemed too spicy for me. We have been to Bar American tho and it was amazing.

I have to giggle at you about the subway...why is it so confusing? The map yes but at the 49th street station you only have 2 options Uptown or Downtown and 14th was only 5 stops down. I guess I'm too used to it. LOL.

 

[Happy Elf]

Great update! Dinner looked wonderful! How cool you saw Jack!
Didn't really care for the snake though! Eww!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Oh my goodness! Dinner at Mesa Grill looked amazing! That food is making my mouth water right now! You ladies looked gorgeous as always, of course!

I'm sorry to hear you didn't get to sleep that well, but at least you weren't feeling sick the rest of your trip!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Not a bad Jack....dinner looks delish! I need the crumb cleaner for the house! That would be sweet. Note to self...stay away from the AC area in room. I like the rooms by the way. Very nice and modern. My style.

 

[xoktenox]

Great update! Mesa Grill looks yummmmmm! I'm so hungry right now and that didn't help

The subway system is definitely confusing...usually I'll ask someone what trains to take if I haven't mapped it out in advance. Some people in NYC are weird but generally they're pretty nice LOL

Sorry that you weren't feeling well! I hope you got some more sleep on the other nights.

Does the lady at the cupcake stand have a hidden mickey in her shopping bag?

 

[winkers]

My feet hurt just looking at the shoes you were conquering NewYork in!

So, with Capt. Jack and the naked cowboy, do they get paid or are they just there fun?

I would be scared getting on the subway, just taking a taxi makes me hyper-ventilate.

Great update Dawn. We ate at Bobby Flay's restaurant in Vegas.... it was so great too. In fact DH ate there twice that trip! Times Square... I got to get back to NY. I want to go with my mom and sister in law... but got to get bigger kids first!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

OOPS! Somehow I missed subscribing to this TR - I was waiting for you to come back, and now I'm way behind! DH came home the same weekend you were gone, and I had alot of catching up to do after he left! Now I'll start reading with my glass of wine!

 

[MagicShell]

What a great update. I love your NYC pictures. I am glad you figured out the subway, I may have still been standing there. You certainly saw some interesting people. I would have liked the snake as well. We have 2 snakes at home.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I so want to go to NYC now. Oh yeah and John saw your picture with the cowgirl and said "Your friend Dawn totally took a picture with a half naked drag queen. Look at those fingers. They belong on a dude!!!"

I was going to say that too. Except the stretch marks on "the girls" look pretty real.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

All caught up. Great update! What a crazy place.
First, When I saw the pics of all the buildings in Manhatten, I got a little panic attack. I'm usually up for any adventure - but in the West, we have wide open spaces! Your Times Square pics are awesome - but they made me feel the panic, too!

I've seen these parking structures in Hollywood when we went to see Wicked - pretty ingenius!

Your hotel room looks like fun! A truer NY experience! Love the Ferris Wheel at Toys R us! As for the cowpeople -what are they thinking?

The subway looks really scarey - I feel like I'd never figure it out. I don't even know how to take a city bus - I don't think I ever have

Your dinner looks wonderful, and the night life on the street is interesting. That's how Hollywood starts to look after 9. People singing and doing interesting things to draw a crowd. Except I guess you don't "hang out" until 3 a.m. there - you need to leave when it gets dark.

Can't wait for more!

 

[Cat0727]

What a great update! Mesa Grill looks sooo yummy!

I can imagine how hard the NYC subway system is to figure out for out of towners. Sometimes even us Nyers can't understand it b/c they're always rerouting some train line without any announcements Next time, try using http://www.hopstop.com/ you basically type in your destination and it gives you detailed directions on how to get there by subway or bus. It's really helpful!

 

[LISAMWDW]

Great update! Loving this trip report! Your sister is seriously cracking me up in those pics! She is a hoot! Then she wanted cupcakes after that dinner?

Sorry about your sinuses and your voice. No fun while your on vacation!

Can't wait for more!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Great report so far Dawn! I'm expecially enjoying it as we are planning a trip to NY next year!

 

[ILuvWishes!]

look who we ran into at times square.....

you know i had to get a picture with him!

[/url]

I think this might be the same "Jack" that I saw at WDW in January.

What do you think? Just look at the nose.

Long time Luker here, just adding my 2 cents.

 

[ArielSRL]

I was going to say that too. Except the stretch marks on "the girls" look pretty real.

Yeh, the stretch marks did look real! I think the Naked Cowgirl is definitely interesting...just part of the city. Scary too, but more power to her!
