Day 2

So, before I tell about our day, let me just note that it is currently 8 degrees warmer here than at home. Amazing...

So, we began our day with breakfast from Pick-a-Bagel and then went on a tour of NBC Studios. It was pretty cool to see Conan O'brien's set and the set for Saturday Night Live - they were much smaller than what you would expect. After that, we picked up our reservation tickets for New Year's Eve at Applebees, and headed for lunch at Mesa Grill, one of Bobby Flay's restaurants. Delicious! From there we went to Union Square, visited Strand Books, and then the FDNY museum. A brief stop at Chelsea Market, and then back to the hotel before going to see Spamalot! Kim and I had seen this on our last trip, and the kids didn't know we were going on this one. So it was a fun surprise for them, and, of course, a great show!

Here are a few shots from the day:
