Although generally warm the breeze is icy. No sun hits the ground in North South direction roads so at times you do feel the cold. Still, no need for thermals today as the girls were going shopping down 5th avenue. I tagged along to take some photographs. The girls took in the Rockefeller Center tour while I roamed the streets. I think I bumped into Kevin James crossing the street. Not really sure.
All the sales are on with queues at some stores. Abercrombie and Fisk to name one. Must be some reason why clothes made of fabric are worth lining up for. Tiffiny's was... well... Tiffiny's. Expensive and sparkly. I wonder how many people in the store were actually buying? Bloomingdales was an unexpected surprise. Very friendly staff and well set out. Almost like an arcade in that each brand had their own store within the store. Easy to find what you are after. Australian department stores should take note.
We caught a cab back to the hotel and had lunch before the girls went out to do some shopping and look at tickets for a Broadway show tonight. Most shows are closed on Monday nights, but at this stage any show will do.
Kylie and the girls returned to the hotel early afternoon. We managed to get some tickets to some Broadway show. Kylie couldn't remember the name of it as most of the bigger shows were not on monday nights. We headed out to dinner bypassing one theatre shut, but walking under another one definitely open. Dinner was at. the restaurant next door. A nice Italian place where Sara had octopus for main coarse, Hailey enjoyed pasta and Kylie a great steak. My Scallopine Limone was sensational, and followed up by a cheesecake desert finished it off.
We left the restaurant and joined the line for the theatre next door. Kylie tried to surprise me and managed to get tickets to the 'Rock of ages' show. Much cheaper than we were earlier quoted. The show was awesome, with good renditions of 80's rock and a humerous story line. The crowd was quite sedate for the first act, but at the finale people lept up for a foot stomping, hand clapping standing ovation. we had perfect seats to the left of stage and I was positioned on the aisle. This is the aisle the action takes place in. Exploding confetti, actors tripping over in the aisle... Great fun. Hooray for Boobies!
