Day 5 - 11.06.09 - Sunny Near 60.
So a quick bit about yesterday's activities. Ben and I slept in a bit...a nice change. We went to breakfast with Amy at Mo'Joe's a cafe right near her house...the eggs and home fries were a nice change from our daily English muffins.
We ventured into the city after that to explore the West Village, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy, Chinatown, the East Village, and Union Square.
We started in The West Village/Greenwich Village. It was SPECTACULAR. It is amazing how in between the craziness of times square and the financial district are these amazing neighborhoods it reminded me of Boston quite a bit. I could see myself, and Bryleigh for that matter, really enjoying life in those neighborhoods. Not to mention the AMAZING shopping. All of my favorites Ralph, Tommy, Charlotte, 7 for All, Lucky and more were right at my fingertips. Fortunately or un depending on your opinion, there is no room in the clothing section of the car for additional items!
While we were in the West Village we stopped in at Rocco's where we got Amy and Alan thank you Cannoli's. Word is they are the best around. After that we went to Magnolia's (where they went on Sex and the City, which made me think of Amber) to get "the best cupcake" in the city. I was an immediate non-fan the icing wasn't my style. Ben ate his and said it wasn't bad. He wouldn't go back but it was tasty and I actually think he is going to eat mine tonight!
Once we were done on the west side, we headed to Little Italy for lunch. We ate at a little corner joint where Ben had soup and we shared a pizza. The fresh mozzarella is so delicious!! I would eat their pizza everyday if I could.
From there we headed to through the remaining neighborhoods keeping our eyes open for celebs as the East Village is where many of them reside but only managed to see some very wealthy teens/college kids/and young execs. We also so tons of nanny's as this is where they rich call home. Union Square was especially fun as there were street performers, vendors, and lots of activity.
After walking around we walked back up to Penn Station to catch the train back to Amy's. When we got back we packed up sandwiches for dinner and then headed out to Harrisburg/Hershey for a good nights rest.
