Subway today, it was just like Ghost, while we were sitting on the subway, these gentlemen were walking down the train and singing, it was wonderful. I found the subway all a bit confusing, reading maps not really being my forte.
I got my photo taken in front of a school bus, not realising at the time that there was actually someone on the bus.
On our travels as were looking in all the shops, we wanted to start walking to Central Park, again we must have appeared lost and a gentlemen asked us if we needed any help and it turned out that he was a Google Maps guy, what are the chances? And to add to that he was all dressed in green. But anyway he led us in the right direction.
Then we reached the picturesque Central Park, where it was all snowy and beautiful, so many squirrels and they aren’t bothered that you are there, they just get on with their lives. They don’t run away, they were so cute.
While walking through Central Park, I came across many places from movies, one being a large arch which feautred in Ghost Town.
There was one thing I wanted to do when I came to New York and that was to go to Serendipity, I was aware of it from films such as Serendipity and One Fine Day and I knew they were famous for their deserts especially the frozen hot chocolate, yet I don’t think I was fully prepared for how incredible it would actually be…
You walk in and everyone is so happy, and it’s quite small and knick-knacky. Very busy as well, but still cosy and comfortable, we were intially just going to have a desert but that soon changed when we were given the biggest menu I have ever seen, it was beautifully designed, like a large broadsheet. There were gorgeous lampshades, and antiques which had been collected.
We all had our main course and then the deserts, they were so amazing, I opted for the famous frozen hot chocolate, which was lovely. Shelby went for the strawberries and cream, which looked yummy and Lottie and Chelsea shared a large sundae. We just didn’t want to leave, the staff were incredible and were full of smiles.
It was just magical. An experience I will never forget.
Then as if we weren’t full of food, we came across Dylan’s Candy Bar. It was just like something out of Willy Wonka, there was sweets in the floor, a bath full of gobstoppers. It was a young child’s heaven.
Lottie and I later went on a horse and carriage ride around Central Park, which was lovely. The horse was named Olympus. We got a blanket to put over us and then it gently began to snow as we went around.
After we went to further shops and then Rockefeller Center, where I fell in love with Anthropologie, the window displays were out of this world and the store was wonderful. I could of bought so many things. Everything is uniquely displayed. I bought a lovely headband from there, which I will keep forever.
Lottie and I had been desperate to see a musical while we had been in New York, and it had always been a dream of mine to see a show in Broadway. So that evening we rushed back to the hotel room to get ready and we hoped that we would be able to get tickets for the show that evening. We luckily got tickets for Chicago which was wonderful as this was the show we wanted to see, as Ashlee Simpson was playing Roxie.
We loved the show and then as we came out of the theatre we notcied that paparazzi were there and there was barriers being pulled to the sides of the entrance, so we spoke to the paparazzi and they told us that Ashlee Simpson would be coming out of the entrance and they let us go to the front of barrier, when more people came out, it began to get busier and people began to stand behind the barrier opposite as well. We waited for about 45 mins and then she came, it was really exciting and Lottie and I had our cameras at the ready for a photo with her, however instead of going to our side she went to the other side never mind, we still got a photo of her and we had a fantastic day.
When we arrived back at the hotel room we then ordered a chinese and the delivery man brought it to our hotel door!! It was brilliant.
