What a holiday!
Yesterday we dropped Granny off on Fashion Ave so she could ‘shop ’till she dropped’, then robO and I continued on to the East Village. One of the must-do things on my list was trying a ‘blintz’, and our sources say this is the place to get one. We had our lunch in a park (for the record the blintz was good but not addictive) and wandered through the vintage shops and record stores.
After a quick trip down to see ‘occupy Wall Street’ and where they’re building Tower 1, we had a Mexican dinner and headed to our show – The Book of Mormon.
A few months ago I had listened to a CBC radio interview with a Mormon woman who had gone to the show and said that it was tasteful humor and that she would recommend her Mormon friends to go see it. We, on the other hand, would NEVER suggest this show to any of our Mormon friends (and we have a few of them). In fact, Rob told my parents that this is not a show for Mommies and Daddies!
That being said, it was really funny and a well done show. A little like a Broadway Southpark. robO had a few occasions of knee-slapping laughter.
This morning robO took his turn getting up early for a ticket line – this time Jimmy Fallon. We’ll blog again after this final day in NYC so stay tuned!
