NYC Nov 2024 to see A Wonderful World
This is one of those musicals that will likely only been seen on Broadway, so we made a special trip with Delicate Flower and Bike Guy to see our friend James as Louis Armstrong. The show was amazing. He was married 4 times, so they found 4 strong female singers in addition to giving James special training to not ruin his voice. It is hard to find cheap hotel rooms, so we ended up with double bunk beds in a tiny room. Memorable!! Also, our Uber driver had a fender bender just as he was dropping us off? We paid and got out of that situation ASAP!
We decided to go all in on Broadway and get more tickets from TKTS. It was really cold and we stood out there for at least an hour. Worth it! The Book of Mormon was amazing-it had been a at least a decade for us, and was new to the others.
We also went to Back to the Future. It was not amazing. The songs were unremarkable and nothing was added to the plot. Even the costumes looked bad. And yet people loved it. The car was cool, yes, but I never need to see that again.
It was so cold. I took any opportunity to duck inside and warm up. Wandered into this interesting fiber art display.
We ate a ton of good food on this trip. A bunch of $2 pizza slices, fantastic bagels, giant cookies, and this delicious breakfast sandwich! We also found good tacos in New York City, something we Californias did believe existed. A small chain, Los Tacos No.1 turned out to be amazing. They were cooking the tortillas as fast as they were being eaten. So fresh!
We visited the NYC Nintendo store! Right around the corner from Lincoln Center and tree. This close to Xmas it was packed-quite the struggle to get this photo without random people.
They have the tiniest museum-one display case filled with info and examples of the older gaming stations.
The DS series has a special place in our hearts-so much Bomber Man!
The cutest Pokemon pjs
Not sure where along the trip we picked these up, but they were unexpectedly delicious.
