As i mentioned before Travis and i rarely make it into the city, however we had another really great excuse motivating us to go. Our best friends from church are moving to Utah tomorrow. As a last hoorah we decided to spend a day in the city. we met them at their apartment at 9:30 AM and then we all took a bus into the city together. from there we split up (they had some friends they needed to see) and we headed down to Chelsea for breakfast. we saw a place called Petite Abeille on breakfast paradise on travel channel and we decided to check it out. the food was really good and extremely light and fresh. i wouldn't say it knocked my socks off, but i did enjoy the meal.
afterward we went to times square to buy tickets to a matinee show. after some investigating we decided to buy our tickets from TKTS for ROCK OF AGES. it is a musical featuring classic rock ballads from the 80's, let me tell you it was so incredibly funny i couldn't help but laugh for 3 hours. seriously, it was such a great time. the theatre was really small and so it was really easy to get completely sucked into the story, plus we had PHENOMENAL seats, row H on the main floor DEAD CENTER!!! and to top it all off we sat right in front of the main character's parents.
When the show was over we quickly met up with one of my friend's from BYU-I who was in town, and although we only talked for about 30 minutes it was still really great to see him!
After that we met back up with Mike and Michelle for dinner at a restaurant called Buddakan, which is this modern Asian Fusion restaurant. it was pretty pricey, but the food was REALLY good and we had such a fun time just chatting with them. Once dinner was finished we went to a chocolate shop near Union Square called Max Brenner for dessert, again, super good!!
from there we headed back home to New Jersey. We had such a great time together and will definitely miss them both, however, they are the type of friends that we will probably keep in touch with the rest of our lives, so its really not good bye, its more, until next time :)
