We learned about Ivan Ramen from Chef's Table on Netflix and stayed just a block from one of his ramen shops. It was all it promised!
It's always the things you almost don't do that end up being the most fun. Such was true about the cheese tasting class at Murray's. We had a cheese expert and a writer from Bon Appetit show us the ropes of all things cheese. The pairings were amazing and not to mention the bottomless wine. It was an absolute blast and probably the best thing we did there!
The white gold honey was divine and so were the truffle chips! I mean look at that spread!
I'm not sure what Justin is laughing about but at one point Daniel (the cheese connoisseur and braver man than most) was eating all the rinds and molds of the cheeses including the not-intended-for-consumption spruce rind on a brie. The lady from BA comes over and looking very concerned told him. He went right on eating it. Lol. That joke got a lot of milage.
I couldn't believe it but I found Duke's mayo in NYC! I could live there after all.
The next day we went to one of my absolute favorite places, Chelsea market.
And we took our first ride on the subway (for me and Justin that is). Thankfully Daniel was a pro!
I was super excited for Tavern on the Green. Here the fellas are discussing the importance of something important I'm sure. Probably which oysters to get or how many drinks they should imbibe before walking the MET.
Look at those beauties.
Poor Daniel was still hungry after $100 worth of oysters so he opted for a $3 hotdog in Central Park.
Then the MET. It was incredible.
Current exhibit and inspiration for this years MET gala, Heavenly Bodies, was so beautiful. One of my favorites of the trip!
The MET went on and on.
Weirdos on a subway. Probably trying to make it up to Justin for leaving him on the wrong side of the turnstile.
We ran out of money on our subway card and poor Justin got left behind. Thankfully he's also the most resourceful one in the group and managed to figure it out.
Times Square and Bubble Tea.
And late night Thai food.
This man loves me. That and he knew I wasn't moving off the bed without some serious motivation. We walked 30k steps every day. That's a lot for this old pregnant lady.
The last night we saw Anastasia on broadway. It was very special. For my favorite song, "Once Upon a December," they had ghosts projected on the walls of the theater out in the audience. It gave me goosebumps. Very good show.
We saw an off broadway, our first, Perfect Crime. It was also good but as Meghan pointed out, the technology was a bit dated (it was a 30 year show). The most impressive part was the lead female role has been played by the same actress EVERY SHOW except 4. Wow.
Justin's favorite museum, the Museum of Natural History.
There was a butterfly exhibit that you went in and butterflies could land on you. None did but it was absolutely incredible! I even saw a rare butterfly with translucent wings!
Gum, gum, dumb, dumb. The kids loved this picture. haha
It was a fantastic trip and we loved being able to share it with such good friends.
