I Wanna Be A Part Of It...

Ok, so I just got back from NYC. My friend, L, got married up there and I was her maid of honor. My sweetie, M, and I flew to NYC on Thursday so that we'd have some time to sightsee. This posting will cover just the first day. In the first 24 hours in NYC we managed to do the following:

• survived a cab ride in rush hour traffic from La Guardia to the Upper East Side
• almost purchased a Coach knock-off on Canal St. but ultimately refused it
• saw a movie being filmed in Little Italy starring John Leguizamo
• saw Oprah being escorted by David Letterman to The Color Purple on Broadway
• saw Donald Trump, Sidney Poitier, Gayle King, Jamie Foxx and David Hasselhoff also going to The Color Purple
• took a horse-drawn carriage ride in Central Park
• went ice skating in Central Park and only fell once (it was M's fault)
• got 2 slices of pizza and an orange soda for 4 bucks to share with M
• strolled into Serendipity for a frozen hot chocolate and a drug store sundae
• sobbed at Ground Zero
• shopped at Century 21
• walked by a group of NYU student workers that were on strike by a university library
• posed for a photo under the arch in Washington Square
• accidentally ended up in East Harlem and freaked the hell out
