Give My Regards to Broadway

After making our way down to the Financial District to the pop up TKTS booth on the corner of Fulton and South Street, Abbey, Luke and I chatted with the friendly TKTS employee who persuaded us to see Once! Not only has this show recieved 8 Tony Awards and has been deemed the best show on Broadway, but we heard that it had Mumford and Sons style-esque music so we couldn't say no...

Here are a few pics from our fun night on Broadway!  Check out our great seats -- I have never had bad seats when I get tickets from the half price ticket booth stands.  Plus, we looked up the going face value online and the seats were originally almost $300.. definitely worth the trip downtown!

The music was fabulous -- totally folksy and fun.  I have never really had an appreciation for the violin, but now I definitely do.  The venue was great, during intermission they even had a bar on stage!  The musical itself was beautiful and totally brought a tears to the eyes of many in the audience and left me in awe

City Adventures

Today was a day of adventures. I felt like my friends Abbey and Luke, who are visiting me for the weekend, and I were all over!  here are a few shots of some places we went. 

Spent some time bumming around the West Village.  Went to my favorite pizza spot, Joe's Pizza on Carmine, then headed over to Washington Square park to do some people watching.  Ended our tour with a stroll on Bleeker street and popped into Cynthia Rowley's new candy shop, Curious.

I was in doggy heaven in this pup boutique on Christopher Street.  I had been here before and couldn't resist dragging my friends in while my heart melted.  I want one of my own! Only requirement.. it stays under 4 pounds!

We rounded off our city tour with a pit stop to The Standard Biergarten in the Meat Packing District.  We took a few minutes to enjoy some tasty drinks.  Mine was so refreshing and easy to make! Note to self --future blog post on making this 3 ingredient taste of paradise.
