Mom and I arrived in NYC yesterday and have had a packed schedule thus far.
Sunday night:
-Landed at LaGuardia airport around 5:30ish... took a really short taxi ride to Whitney and Nathan's apt. in Astoria. (piece of random info.... this community is the largest Greek community outside of Greece)
-Whitney cooked us an AWESOME dinner, including meatloaf and lemon cake.
-Ventured to Times Square in the cold, wind, and sprinkling rain. Ate again... haha... at Juniors. It was yuummy. =)
**in the midst of this all, mom is still thrilled over Kentucky's win and keeps telling us of the greatness**
Monday:
-Mom and I headed to Rockefeller Center, went to Top of the Rock which gave us a great view of the whole city, saw the cool skating rink, and bought a nice little "Friends" souveneir in the store.
-Saw NBC studios, and Hoda (is that her name?) who was with Jason Priestly-Brandon from 90210! Yay! First famous person showing-even though it was through a window.
-Had Pronto's Pizza-just a little pizza shop across from the studio. It was fabulous.
-Headed to the New York Public library-way cool and fancy.
-Shopped at H&M.
-Met Whit and Nathan at the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). This was way cool. They are currently showcasing Tim Burton and had 3 different floors of his stuff. It was reaaaaaaally fascinating. We saw other cool art which consisted of a quite interesting woman's work. She actually sat in a chair staring at people... all day long.... from March-May. It was weird. We went upstairs to see the rest of her work and it consisted of lots of video/media... like 2 people yelling in each others faces.... 2 people continuously slapping each other... nudity... and yes, 2 live, nude people. Male and female. Standing and staring at each other. HONESTLY PEOPLE... it was hilarious! Mom did say one woman walked into the exhibition and just busted out laughing. I mean... why does everyone have to be so serious? It was ridiculous.
-Ventured to Tiffany and Co....
-Rode alll the way uptown to Harlem and ate at the very famous Sylvia's. It is "soul food" or also known as southern food. Whitney got her sweet tea. =)
-Rode allll the way back down to Times Square for a lil' bit (which included Whitney and I having too much fun at Sephora) then came back home to the apt.
Whewww.... exhausting day but fabulous! More to come.

Awesome!!! Thanks so much for blogging while you're there! Wow, what a day! Your mom always has a very busy plan. I love to go with her. She and Fred should be tour guides! Say hi to my baby girl and keep blogging. who knew how much we missed before people blogged!
Loved the update. I'm living vicariously through you this week.
I LOVE the NY Public Library. I'm probably prejudiced toward all things library but I find it so peaceful after the attack on the senses that is New York. Have fun!
