Day 2 in New York





We are trying like heck to make our way through the itinerary that Josh and Megan left us--believe us it is an exhausting undertaking. It is  full-on 14 hour days and does not leave much time for silly blogging.  Our agenda today was ambitious to say the least--Empire State Building, lunch at the Shake Shake in Madison Park, the musical, Hair, and the MOMA.  


We made it to the Empire State Building and the views did not disappoint.  
fter Empire State Building Tour, we walked to Washington Park and took in all the festivities there.  We enjoyed a great lunch at a New York Deli and started walking toward Broadway--realizing that 20 blocks equals a mile and that we were in a time crunch to make it to our first Broadway play on time.  

Megan told us that we need to see Hair and we did.  Megan never steers us wrong.  We loved it--very audience interactive and the music was great.  At the end,  the audience was invited on stage to join the actors for their encore of the songs:  "Hair" and "Let the Sun Shine In".  We jumped to our feet and joined the other enthusiastic people who were swept up in the moment.  There were high hives, hugs from cast members, dancing, singing, and just a general overall, good vibe.  We were living in the moment and it was great fun.   

We then made our way to the Museum of Modern Art.  It is free to the public on Fridays from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.  We spent several hours trying to get in as much as we could.  We saw some great exhibits from new artists and some classical pieces as well.
