So here's a quick summary since we had a very laid back day. The first thing we did Friday was we went down to the National Archives to find out some of my family history. I wanted to know exact dates of when my mom and her family came into the US through New York. I was able to find the ships manifest with the names of my mom's family that came to the US on that ship. I also got photocopies of the manifest with all the typed up information showing my mom's age, passenger number, ethnicity, date of departure from Bremerhaven (Bremen, Germany) and date of arrival into NYC. It was super cool. This was a great addition to the family history my aunt had already gathered.
From there we took the subway to the Upper West Side to buy some H&H bagels to take home. These are the best bagels in NYC. They're always hot and fresh. It was unusual to be handed a bag of fresh, warm bagels. They're long gone now but they were oh so good. We wandered around a little bit but knew we had to get back to Times Square. We decided that we really wanted to see one more Broadway show while we were there. After the awesomeness of La Cage Aux Folles, I was hungry for more. Being big fans of Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth and hearing the rave reviews about Promises, Promises, we decided that was how we were going to close out our NYC trip.
After a long afternoon of all of the above, we dragged ourselves back to the hotel for a few hours of R&R before heading to the theater. The show was really good but La Cage was still way better. Sorry. I think that my reasoning for that is that I was laughing though about 90% of La Cage where it was only about 60% laughter through Promises, Promises. I'm so ready to go back to NYC for another trip just to do more Broadway shows. So here is the last bit of photos from our trip.
