Our first stop of course involved food. We ate a good breakfast at the little cafe we found a couple of days before then we went down to time square to stand in line to get discounted tickets to a Broadway show,"Jersey Boys". More about that later.
After buying the tickets, we caught the subway down to Canal (aka China Town). We spent a couple of hours bargain hunting. It was fun "Jewing" down the prices on some items that we brought back.
This is a real NYC Chinese fish market
Then on to "Little Italy". Italian resturants on both sides of the street for about 3 blocks. These were real Italian eateries. Linen table cloths, the works. Then up to Spring street where we could get a real Italian pizza. They were right. Lombardy's was a quite the place. A small was more than enough for Shirley and I to have plenty to eat.
Back on the subway to Time Square then on the the show, Jersey Boys. This is the story of the Frankie Vallli and the Four Seasons. The music was outstanding. If you closed your eyes you would swear the real thing was there on stage. The language left a lot to be desired, but the music.... man!
After the show we went Grand Central Station then a leisurely walk to see Time Square one last time. On the way we stopped by Bryant Park and people watched in some quite laid back place.
What a trip! It was all we could dream of and all we had hoped it would be.
