Finally!

My apologies for the massively long absence - I've been so busy traveling and loving 2009 that I haven't had time to update. On January 7th, myself and a Broadway-enthusiast friend of mine went to see one of the last performances of Gypsy on Broadway starring Patty LuPone. I took plenty of pictures.



Leaving Gloucester at 5:00 AM. The show was at 2:00 PM and we were getting tickets at the box office, so we had to get there early.



Astonishingly, a lot of people take the 5:00 AM train to Boston on a Wednesday. I did not know this.



Here's a sneaky shot from our seats. Didn't want the ushers to take my camera away.



After the show (since we had a few hours 'til our bus back to Boston), my friend and I went to Juniors, a restaurant steps away from Gypsy that apparently has the best cheesecake in New York, or possibly the world. I would not know, having - wait for it - never tried cheesecake in my life. As seen above, instead of bread for an appetizer, we got...I'm not even sure what it is, and I didn't feel like finding out.



We split a grilled cheese (since it was $9!) and a side of fries. It was a very filling and delicious grilled cheese. As you can see, the bread was very thick.

I hesitate to post the rest of the pictures (I really did take a lot) because most of them include my friend and I should probably get permission before I put her face on the internets for everyone to see.

Oh, one last picture from the day (er, night):



My friend slept over when we got back and the power went out (and came on) maybe three or four times. I kept lighting and blowing out candles. I got this little lantern at IKEA and was dying to use it.

Coming soon: my other trip to New York and...various assorted other things!
