Thanks Poddie and Happy St. Joseph's day to all of you. Thanks for the St. Joseph's pastry Moony.

My dearest friend and one of the most amazing women on the planet,(a speech and mass com teacher who used to be my speech and debate coach and drama teacher) is coming to NYC for the first time with some girlfriends this summer. They are staying in Times Square, going to see Book of Mormon and do touristy things. What would you absolutely tell them not to miss? Where would you tell them to try to eat? They aren't all loaded, but this is a girls weekend (and the first time she has done anything like this since her teenage daughter died two years ago), so they want to live a little. I figured it was easiest to ask the experts. lol

My favorite dinner site in that area is Angus MacIndoe. The best breakfast buffet there is at Pigalle (at least on the weekend).
Favorite touristy things to do: the Met, MOMA, 9/11 Memorial (with a stop in St. Paul's, Ellis Island, a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge.
A bit pricey, but one of the nicest mornings I ever spent in NYC was a champagne brunch 3 hour cruise around Manhattan (champagne brunch - guess who I was with?).
NOTE TO TINK: I sent you my cell# on Facebook.

Crappy Monday! We have guests for the next week and we spent hours scrubbing the house this weekend. Most excellent party on Saturday!

(And I frequently see it offered on Goldstar)
I took my sister and her family on it a year ago, and they loved it, too.
JG2 - Moony gave you all good ideas. Another restaurant suggestion is the Landmarc, in the Time Warner Center. Try to get a table near the window overlooking the corner of Central Park. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, they do a good job at a reasonable price.
They should also just plan to WALK. Walk, walk, walk. Especially throughout Central Park. They can get a CP guide, to make sure they go past all of the spots of note.
NYC Access is a good guide-book, that breaks down all of the neighborhoods.
I don't know what their taste in shows is, but, for the polar opposite of BOM, I am still on a high from seeing 'ONCE' last night. A beautifully crafted performance, that seems to just float upon the stage. I loved it. (But recognize, it's not a typical song-and-dance Broadway musical).
I'll put my thinking cap on for other ideas.

Our weather is friggin' nuts ... we go from sun, to wind, to sun and wind, to mid-40s, to overnight snow ... I am so ready for summer to arrive.
I'm seriously pondering a subscription to B'way in Seattle next year - Book of Mormom, Fela!, War Horse, and Flashdance! (Sister Act is also in there.) Wicked is an added bonus. I also need to start thinking when I'm going back east again ...

The comments were particularly fascinating: three students drew little hearts in place of words. I'm touched, amused, and a little horrified.

Got 4 hours of sleeo last night. This better be an easy day. Got to bed @ midnight, then fierce thunderstorms started @ 4:15am. They didn't let up until 6:00am. I should have gotten up and watched PLL (Pretty Little Liars, DD). I'm on my third mug of cooffe. It's not going to be pretty when the caffeine wears off.

Tink - thanks for the text last night. I have to say (without a spoiler for Girly) that I'm a bit disappointed by the reveal. That's who it was in the book and I had hoped that they would go in a different direction. Hubby told me about the very last scene and all I can say is, "AGAIN?!?"

Still not liking your boy's story line. But then again, he wouldn't be on the show without it. I was shocked to see so many polls yesterday that had him as the #1 suspect. It never even crossed my mind.
