New York, Day Three
Friday was our designated shopping day. Thankfully I managed to contain my purchases to only one pair of shoes (and what a pair of shoes!) and a few iced green teas for sustenance along the way.
Friday night we drank wine in the hotel while getting ready, then went to Coppola's for dinner. So good. After dinner we headed to the Empire State Building. What better to do at 11.45pm on a Friday night after an amazing dinner (and lots of wine) with two of your best friends than check out the lights of New York City? It was amazing, and the fact that there was no line didn't hurt. We discovered a couple of quiet yet fun bars near our hotel after we came back to ground level, and were very sad when it was suddenly 4am and we were forced to head back to the hotel. At some point between bars we met a guy in the street (heading toward the subway, not a guy who lives on the street... at least not as far as I know) and decided that he and Jo will marry so that she can move to New York, he and I have been texting some since then, and now Jo is sure that he and I will marry. Ha.
Oh yes, we went there.
And also, there... though I'd like to point out that Ally is the only one of us who actually purchased the tacky Lady Liberty headdress. Jo and I just posed with it, and after doing so were mildly jealous that we, too, had not handed over $6 for such a fabulous piece of foam.
