Day three in New York was full of new experiences. We had some plans for the day but really we just kind of winged it. Our spontaneity gave us both good and not so good experiences.
Good:
Started the day of by going to Battery Park and eating at a yummy Manhattan cafe for breakfast.
We saw some "must see" locations in NYC. The "LOVE" statue being one of them.
The Bull right by Wall street/Wall Street with a view of the oldest church which was once the tallest building in NYC.
Canal Street. We loved canal street. Just the ladies went shopping on Canal street. Canal street/China town brought to us many wonderful finds including many scarves.
While the girls shopped the guys went to the TKTS both in Time Square to try and get us more tickets to another Broadway show that night (because we loved Marry Poppins so much we wanted to see another show). When they got to the front of the line the options were Memphis--with obstructed view seats, West Side Story, or Phantom. We really wanted to see Memphis--the history behind rock and roll but we wanted to see the show and not a poll. A few people had already seen Phantom so we ended up with West Side Story.
BAD: here is where our spontaneity failed us.
We all fell asleep at some point during the production of West Side Story. To me, it was so boring. The acting was high school level at most, and the set was put together by children. Can you tell how much I didn't like it. I can't believe nobody told me how boring this show is. What a waste of time. I know it is a classic musical n'all but I don't know how it got there because we all--excluding Sally--did not enjoy ourselves.
However, besides this one choice the rest of the day was great. Probably because we ended the day with cheesecake and another visit to the Shake Shack.

How sad that west side story sucked. I love, love, love the movie and have watched it a million times. I would think the broadway show would be good. How disappointing. :(
