I have never been to NYC. So when I go, I'm going to be asking you what to see!

I love those zoo pictures - so clear!!! And Ive wanted to see the Book of Mormon! Jealous!!!

Definitely ask! I"m sure there's little things I forgot as well.

Stu has such a great camera! He took waaaay more photos but these were some of my favourites.

Book of Mormon was really fantastic. Stu had memorised most of the songs, because he listened to the soundtrack so much beforehand, but it was something else getting to seeee it

Egads, the statue of Liberty has cocaine nose! Quick, someone tell the DEA!!! :P

Love it that the zoo is still there.

I think what amuses me is that you do 200% more touristy stuff in NYC than I did the one time I went there.

But I did get to Central Park! I went to the zoo there, rather than the Bronx. :)

That's the really good thing about this trip - My friend Carissa, who runs Oz Comic Con and The Hub Productions here, ran the whole trip kind of like an event - ( this is the itinerary), so she did a fantastic job of making sure we did things we wouldn't otherwise do. Though, all the Seinfeld things are all Stu's doing!

Central Park was just gorgeous. To be honest, I loved NYC as a whole. Everything was pretty ace there :)

Amazing! Too bad our trips didn't overlap. That would have been awesome to finally meet you. :) did you meet the cast of Wicked?

I would have loved to meet you!

I didn't - Carissa only vaguely said something about stage door that night, and didn't explain, so we didn't know that it was a thing you could do :(

I'm so excited for you!! Definitely do stage door for Wicked! Take a couple of sharpies with you, just in case. I was lucky I had one with me for Rock of Ages, they had nothing, but I think Wicked would be more prepared

Oh Wow. I was there in 2007 and ground zero was just a construction site. So, it's interesting to see what they ended up doing with it.
We ended up seeing Rent twice. I'm so sad it's over now. Won the lotto the 2nd time... $20 tickets thank you very much and front row. Just.. don't be late like we were coz my friend read the tickets wrong.

That cross stitch wrought in 1821 is awesome!

I thought they did a really good job with ground zero. They're still building the museum there, which i would've loved to see, but I thought the whole area was really tastefully done.

THat's awesome about the lotto! We had 6 of us most nights, so we wouldn't have wanted to risk it.

Isn't the cross-stitch amazing? I stood there for so long, I think Stu ended up two rooms away!
