The next day we hung out with Steph and Shad. We went to some stores to get food, etc for Thanksgiving. It was a nice relaxing day with them. We did some Christmas shopping and then ate lunch at an upscale Mexican place. At the end of the meal, the server brought us out tiny little cups of complimentary hot chocolate. We all agreed it was the best we have ever had.
Wednesday afternoon Steph dropped us off at the railroad station and we went back to the city. We had a hotel room there for that night because we were planning to see the parade the next morning. Steph and Jared didn't want to do the parade this year.
We took a "Sweat Shop" tour at the Tenement Museum. It was really interesting to learn more about New York City in the early 1900s. We got to tour inside a tenement building and see what it would have been like to live and work in one.
Then we took the subway to Midtown.
We were planning on eating dinner at Eataly, one of our faves. While we were waiting we had some gelato.
Time was running out and we had Broadway tickets to see "Fiddler on the Roof" at 8 pm. So we walked over to Koreatown, hoping we would be able to get something to eat a little quicker. By the time we got our food, we had to take it with us and practically run from 32nd street to 52nd street.
The security there was really tight. We thought for sure they would make us throw away our uneaten dinner. But they didn't. So we secretly scarfed it down in our seats, right before the play started. It was Classic Broadway at its finest.
Afterwards we enjoyed a little more of Midtown, while trying to avoid the crowds. We circumvented Times Square and found a Metro stop.
