OK…so I stole the title of today’s post from my favorite Broadway Diva…Linda Eder! It seems fitting as I sit here in the middle of Time Square planning our day. We’ve already had quite the adventure in NYC and it’s only about half over.
So, we started this day off with a great trip to the Natural History Museum. Such a great experience and as you can see it got us in the mood for Africa!
African Elephants
Central Park
Then we were off to Broadway (Gay Mecca)…In The Heights. Speechless…one of the best soundtracks and one of the most amazing casts we’ve seen in a long time!
In The Heights...Washington Heights!!
Yesterday was a full day starting off with a walk through Chelsea and the West Village…some of my favorite areas of NYC. We then made it back up to Time Square for a matinee of Bye Bye Birdie. I have to say, I was NOT expecting to love this show, but you could put Gina “We’re all whore’s darlin” Gershon in anything and I’d watch. John Stamos bailed on the performance as he was in LA getting his star on the Walk of Fame. Fame??…is that what you call it?? Sorry, just a little bitter that he didn’t show up for us. Afterall Dan, DID go to Jr. High School with him!! OK…I’m getting off subject. The show ended up being great! Fantastic music, dancing and one hell of a “beer for breakfast” scene….I’m just sayin!
FOOD FOOD FOOD…we haven’t stopped eating since we landed and have had some pretty amazing meals. Spice Market, Norma’s at The Parker and to top it off, Michael got us a table at Becco last night after Bye Bye Birdie…one of Lidia Bastianich’s restaurants and it was the perfect beginning to a fantastic night. NEVER ENDING PASTA!!! It just keeps coming to the table….Spaghetti, Semolina Gnocci with Cream, Orechietta with Broccoli Rabe. And some pretty amazing flavors all tied together with a great Italian red…of course we didn’t miss the cannoli for dessert.
Then we were off to Carrie Fisher’s new one woman show, Wishful Drinking…let me tell you, as Aunti Mame recommends, that woman has Lived, Lived, Lived! One of the best show’s I’ve seen in a long time and Carrie is one hilarious genius. HIGHLY recommend if you find yourself in NYC in the near future.

To top the night off of course we had to drop by one of our favorite watering holes and sing a few tunes…Don’t Tell Mamma was calling w
here we ended the night with some cocktails and showtunes!!! It was the cherry on top of a great day. OK…this is sounding gayer and gayer as I write this. I guess I’m just caught in a New York state of mind.
Today we’re heading up to Central Park, doing a bit of shopping and gearing up for another dose of Broadway with Next To Normal tonight! Scott Sansone gets in tonight so Scott, Dan, Michael and I are off to a packed night once again ending of course with a bit of Therapy!! 
And off to the gym…again.
