A Final Look at Times Square

A final look at Times Square. Another incredible dash up to New York for a couple of shows and a couple of great meals. The only glitch in the trip was that the 1:15 am bus didn't leave until 3:30. But that can't away from how great the trip was!





























































The Stars of A Little Night Music

We had to wait a little while but we were in luck just about everyone came out. I got everyone's autograph except Bradley Dean.

Walking Around Times Square

After Poptart World, we walked around Times Square some more. We happened to be waling by the theater where Mamma Mia was playing. The doors to the theater were open and we listened to the end of Dancing Queen and then Waterloo which are the two final songs in the show.

Then we decided to go back to the theater where A Little Night Music was playing to see if we could get autographs and some pictures.

Almost Made It to Poptart World

After the play we walked around a little. We found Poptart World but unfortunately it was closed.



Me, Myself & I
























This was a great play. Here's a sense of what it is about:

The plot, if you can describe this absurdist family saga in terms of a beginning, middle and end, begins with OTTO, the one who's basically the evil twin, addressing the audience and announcing his need to separate himself from otto. This is distressing news for otto, who feels his identity threatened by his brother's wanting no part of him (though that does not prevent OTTO from occasionally taking advantage of the fact that even otto's girlfriend can't tell them apart).

Very well done. Very funny. And Elizabeth Ashley and Brian Murray play their parts to the hilt. It was a great.

Bryant Park

In our search for the theater with Me, Myself a & I, we got a little turned around. But it ended up working out very nicely. We ended up near Bryant Park. It was very pretty.

Once we figured out where we needed to go we headed back that way. As we did we spotted fireworks being shot from Macy's. We never did find out why but they were spectacular.































































































































Dinner at John's Pizzeria

What an amazing place this is. It is located in a old church. We had a peperoni and pepper pizza. It was delicious. Here are a couple of pictures of the place.



Taking in New York

After A Little Night Music we walked around some. We ended up heading to Sardi's and having a drink. That's a picture of Christian in front of the place.





























































More from Times Square

More pictures from Times Square. Even Elmo was there. The last two pictures are the crystal ball the drops in Times Square on New Year's Eve.






Around Times Square

We took Megabus up to New York. We are on the 7:15 am bus. Here are a couple of views of Times Square. We had lunch at a dinner and the last picture is part of the lobby of the hotel adjoining the dinner.





























































Fantastic Trip to New York City

What a great time we had. The bus was two hours late coming back so I'm going to soak in the tub and then take a nap and then I'll post pictures.
