We had a similar length trip to NYC last winter and also saw Phantom. Ha! Great taste!! Would love to see the city in spring, especially getting featured with a hip hop troupe-- that is super cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-york-trip-what-i-did#post-1811398 Sun, 28 May 2017 12:36:34 +0000 bridgie 1811398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anxious to see your purchases! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-york-trip-what-i-did#post-1811384 Sun, 28 May 2017 10:14:55 +0000 Summer 1811384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I t sounds as if you had a great time, L'Abeille.&nbsp; Looking forward to seeing your purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-york-trip-what-i-did#post-1811369 Sun, 28 May 2017 04:43:51 +0000 L'Abeille 1811369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only 4 days (3 nights) so sightseeing /activities were limited.</p> <p>We stayed in a midtown hotel so walking distance to most things.</p> <p>We coincided with the 9th Avenue Food Festival which ran for blocks and blocks, so we enjoyed a wonderful selection of ethnic food. Including Brazilian, my first real Feijoada, as delicious as I expected.</p> <p>We did a long Sunday walk through Central Park. Highlights included: a group of folks sitting on a rocky outcrop, sight-singing Sacred Harp music, who let me join them; a band of hip-hop dancers (is that the right term? They don't call it breakdance any more, do they?) who drafted M. Abeille as one of their "volunteers"; and watching games of Slow-Pitch and chess.</p> <p>It rained all Monday so we bought umbrellas off the street and took the subway. We did the Met. I especially wanted to see the African and Medieval art exhibits and the European paintings. Bonus visit to the gift shop for scarves, as recent posts reminded me to do.</p> <p>We saw one show, Phantom of the Opera. The other highlight was our anniversary dinner, at a really lovely restaurant right under/beside the Brooklyn Bridge.</p> <p>We also visited a few stores on Fifth Avenue. I will discuss them in my post on What I bought. </p>
