Tonys '07

Whew!

That’s all I can say after a whirlwind weekend in the Big Apple. What a trip, what a city! You’ve heard me rave about NYC before but I can’t go there and not feel like I have to share things we did and saw.

I went there for the TONY Awards… and to see shows, of course. Mark, my hub, is very skilled with a video camera and he was willing to shoot behind-the-scenes with the TONYs and what it’s like to go there as a press person. Very fun. You can check it out below.

Friday on the island of Manhattan, we ate breakfast, put on our walking shoes and walked all over the island. From Central Park down to Greenwich Village – which is quite a hike. We saw everything from sunbathers, the requisite yellow cabs, a Hari Krishna parade and a cat taking a nap in a store window. OH! We stumbled across a great maternity store and found quite a few – affordable – shirts and jeans and what not. Even Mark hung in there and was super patient and helpful – what a guy!

We saw Legally Blonde – loved it!
Curtains – Really loved it!
LoveMusik – Liked it… interesting
Grey Gardens – Not so much.

In between, we ate great meals, people watched and – my ultimate goal – tried not to look like tourists…. Though we always do. Alas…

I love it any time I can make a trip to The Big Apple. It’s an incredible city! Stay tuned for more updates, and more on the TONY Awards. Including: Mispronouncing a few names (not a good idea), and Conan O’ Brien’s Triumph The Insult Comic Dog. UGH!
