Well day one started as good as night zero finished.
After finally managed to get a hold of my friends hotel telephone number we arranged to meet up just a few minutes after 9am, as they were just a few blocks up.
However a few blocks along and a few blocks up, added with early morning rush hour traffic turned a medium walk into a long walk and i barely managed it in about half an hour - not my best idea ever before a long day.
Also what wasnt my greatest idea ever was wearing jeans as the weather really was about 30 degrees and lacking in any wind or cloud cover. It is also very humid so within minutes the clothes were sticking to my clothes, which made things ten times worse and i could definetly feel a chafffing between my inner thighs by the time i got home.
I met up with the gang and got my first metro 7 day travel card - only it would have been better if i had brought along a detailed manhatten tube map as that would have saved me hours of getting home later on, but thats for later on.
We sped along at a fairly rapid pace until we got to downtown where we then went to find a place for breakfast before the start of the movie tour. it was quite amusing when the girls acted all girlie and screamed when the almost got ran over at the very first traffic intersection, and equally when they went all mushy over some hunky fireman - its the uniform apparently.
Breakfast at ellys diner was super fun, with the singing waiters and waitresses, and I couldnt help but gorge myself on pancakes and strawberry as well as a full continental breakfast, complete with overdone hard toast ... arghhhh
The movie tour was pretty cool, even if it started late and had a few too many friends and seinfeld jokes and on the spot questions. Nick almost won himself a boardgame of scene it, but he forgot which one of the girls did the rounds and dated all of the male leads, thus even though he was first to the punch he gave the wrong answer. Doh
The cosby show location was neato, and the black and white glazed giant donut was just a bit too much for most people to eat in one sitting ( well it was right after breakfast ), but by the time it reached the rice to riches parlour most people had recovered enough to try a few samplers of their famous 50 flavours bonanza.
The trip to the rockerfella museum was very cool and we ended up getting ourselved in the crowd for live primetime 5.20pm nbc weather ... my first time on tv live - yay, another thing of my list of things done, lol.
The views were amazing and we took so many photos that i thought my camera was going to explode .... the only downside was one that i thought we were all going to do sexy poses for and at the last second nick didnt and the girls chilled their poses just a tad so now looking at it I seem to be all pervy staring down her top for no good reason ... it didnt go down too well when they saw them and suddenly i got cast as the bad guy for a few minutes ... arghhhhh
After that we split up for they were off to baseball and i was off to watch avenue Q - via a quick asian rub down to ease the stresses of the day - it was a lot more chilled that I had expected, or wanted !?!
Avenue Q was great, but would have been better if i hadnt let rob and natalie tell me most of the good bits which sort of stopped them being as funny. It also didnt help that the guy next to me seemed overly excited at the jokes and almost preempted them with a loud and semi femenin laugh. It was almost impossible to laugh in time with the show with him forever jumping the punchlines.
The trip back was a mini nightmare and I had no idea where the tube statoins were, taking me almost 2 hours to get back.
