The reason for our visit. My brother is graduating from NYU

with a Masters in Theater so we went to see his last play.

Grimaldi's with the Manhattan Bridge in the background.

Pres. Obama was in Manhattan that day so we ate pizza and

watched helicopters and police boats surround the

Brooklyn Bridge as he crossed it.

We think.

It was either him or Peyton Manning.

oh my goodness.

No, it's not just a waffle.

This is a Liege,

the best thing I ate,

I didn't take a lot of pictures this time.

We went to Mesa Grill the first night

and saw Bobby Flay.

take pictures,

and don't leave your family

alone with the box of donuts

you've been dreaming of eating

from the Donut Plant

while you go in for more

creme brulee's.

I harbor no hard feelings.

And bother famous people.

And take tissues to Wicked.

{I balled like a baby.}

And don't try a balancing act on the subway.

no further explanation needed.

I love NY.
