Okay, so after seeing Harry Potter sing and dance like a pro with an American accent we took a stroll down 5th Avenue to see all the lights. It was beautiful, but very crowded. Then we went back to the Loft to change clothes and catch our breath.
We decided to go to dinner in little Italy at Il Palazzo, which was delicious.
After dinner we took the Metro to the end of the island for a walk on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was so lovely! Amazing views of Manhattan and all the bridges, boats, airplanes, sky scrapers, so cool!
So then back to the Loft because we wanted to get up super early for our last day in the city.
Did I mention that we were in the Gramercy Park area and the Loft was just a block away from the flatiron building? Great view to take in on your way to breakfast.
We had breakfast at the Grey Dog in Chelsea. Cool place with a nice hippie vibe.
Then we walked through Chelsea Market, but we were too full to eat, so we just feasted our eyes.
The last thing we did was walk on the highline, which is this park that is built on an old elevated train line. It’s really neat because it’s been all landscaped and filled with art exhibits and allows you to walk about 20 ft. above the street level.
This billboard was a work of art called “the first hundred thousand that I ever made.”
Since we had to walk about ten looong blocks back to the Loft in the chilly morning air, I suggested we stop and get some hot tea. But I think I subconsciously sensed that we’d find this awesome-ness:
Two dozen varieties of macaroons! A macaroon specialty shop. SO GOODDD!
Then back to Penn Station for a long train-ride home.
The traveler at rest.

Looks like you two had a blast. I'll be planning a girl's trip to New York soon for me and my daughter's this summer. I can't wait!

Fantastic pictures- looks like an amazing trip.
I found you with the 'next blog' button, but I don't read most of the blogs I encounter, however I took particular interest in yours, and I read it as I think that you might also be interested in contributing to a discussion on my blog, with your worldly experiences and perspective.
You may not be aware yet, but there is a new phenomenon sweeping parts of the web. It is very ambiguous and mysterious, but the messages that have been transmitted are very interesting and it is creating lots of excitement on the web and in certain circles of society.
It's ambiguity is where my blog comes in. It is a space where the questions and theories of this phenomenon can be discussed and scrutinised, and where those excited by this new viral campaign can try and solve the mystery of what it is, and whether it is really as relevant and interesting as it promises to be. It is still not known whether it is a political party, a philosophical idea or even a movie campaign!
Anyway I think that you would enjoy participating in the early discussions of this phenomenon.
Many thanks, and keep up the good blogging:)
