my friend carrie and her family moved to hoboken, nj about a year ago and her new abode overlooks the hudson with the empire state building in the background. lovely. she has been bugging me about visiting, and i kept bugging her about visiting, and alas the stars aligned (and dan booked himself a weekend golf trip to myrtle beach to celebrate his excellent father and husband award).
i had never been to the city with a "local" so my goal was to eat good food, see a show and hang out with the "locals". and that we did.
we spent friday afternoon checking out carrie's new digs which happens to be home of the cake boss. we had some pizza and headed into the city, despite the torrential rain, for an evening of comedy and empanadas.
saturday we started the day in times square where we landed tickets to how to succeed in business without really trying, which happened to be one of daniel radcliffes last performances. we strolled hell's kitchen area and had thai food, and finished the evening shopping around grand central station and the library.
sunday, lunch and shopping in greenwich village for treats for dan and donovan before catching my flight home. the trip was quick, but chock full o' sights. thank you reger family for showing little ol me the big city.
