Well, what a day we had today! Didn't get up especially early but when we did we headed to Katz Deli (of When Harry Met Sally fame)for LUNCH! What Sally had was not on the menu so we had a hot pastrami and pickles. That satisfied us! 
We then hopped back on the subway and headed to Central Park. Once we agreed on our directions we toured the lower third of the park. Birdwatched, saw Alice in Wonderland sculpture, watched model boats on the pond and saw a couple of street mimes. Also serenaded by a woman extolling on her hatred of America and all things American. The lyrics went something like "I hate America, I hate Americans, references to Iraq, bombs, Obama, etc - all to the tune (we think!?!) of "God Bless America" - fitting . . .
From there we went to Rockefeller Centre and the top of the Rock. I was not pulled off by my vertigo and got some wonderful shots of the New York skyline. Had great burgers at a Grill in the Concourse. By this time our dogs were dying!! We returned to the hotel in time for a 15 minute break before heading out to "Wicked"."Wicked" was spectacular!! The special effects were mind boggling and the comedic skills of Glinda were a highlight. I am now practicing the art of hairflipping so I can be popular too.
Then came the challenge of finding a nightspot for a nosh and a drink. You'd think it would be easy, but we keep finding places that have just closed. Asked a policeman to advice and he tried to send us to the Hershey's store for hot chocolate. Why would he do that? Sophisticated ladies drink alcohol. Went to a rib joint and ordered martinis. They got the order right on their second attempt.
Then to bed.

He probably noticed you were wearing slippers on your tired swollen feet & thought hot chocolate was appropriate. Love to read your blog - keep having fun. Reality awaits around the corner Love Val
Sounds wonderful, Poopsie! Can't imagine how your feet have held up so far!
