Started off today with a bus tour<\/a> that dropped us off at the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We have tickets for the double-decker bus tours that loop all over the city.\u00a0 We started with the uptown bus and stopped at the Met.\u00a0 The place is HUUUGE!\u00a0 We only saw a little of it, finding more of Diana’s Ac-Dec artworks.\u00a0 Then completed the two-hour bus tour and transferred to the downtown bus loop for two more hours of NYC info.\u00a0 The downtown loop had a lot more shade, and was much more comfortable.\u00a0 It got us oriented around the area, and we kept track of what places we wanted to come back to tomorrow: Empire State Building, World Trade Center, Wall Street, Battery Park, Staten Island Ferry, Canal Street.<\/p>\n

When the tour was over, we went back to our hotel and got cleaned up for the theater.\u00a0 We stopped and got Sbarro’s pizza<\/a> in Time Square and picked up our tickets to How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying<\/i><\/a>.\u00a0 It stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter<\/i>) and John Larroquette (Night Court<\/i>), and was really good.\u00a0 Well, the first act was really good, the second act was awesome.\u00a0 The last couple of dance numbers get outrageous.\u00a0 Radcliffe’s dancing was really good, and I kept thinking, “When in his career did he learn to dance?”\u00a0 It’s not like those actors who are discovered later in life and cut their teeth on the stage or in vaudeville — he has been Harry Potter since he was a kid.<\/p>\n

After the show, we realized we were right next to Shake Shack’s<\/a> theater district location, so we stopped in.\u00a0 The food was just as good as last night in Madison Square Park, but they did lose our order and we had to wait about 45 minutes to get our food — oops.<\/p>\n

Walked back to our hotel and tried to figure out how much we can cram in to tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
