Well today we were a bit sluggish getting going. I swear we have walked 40 miles already. We started back at the Park Cafe. No Tony this morning though. Amy got down with some wicked looking French Toast and bacon. We then walked to Bloomingdales to find Amy's dream jeans. No luck. We then decided maybe we had time to go the museum of TV Radio and Film, but after going in, we decided we didn't have that much time left before we had to go to The Letterman Show. So we came back to the hotel for a quick change of clothes. We headed over to the Letterman show and got in line. We got our reserved tickets, and met a couple form Dallas in line in front of us. Small world.. The show was pretty cool. We got balcony seats, so Letterman's head was cut off by a giant stage light from where I was sitting, but Amy could see him pretty good. Richard Lewis who we both love was on the show. He was hilarious! We got out of that and got some Starbux refreshments and jumped on the subway headed for the Mecca of basketball, the one the only Madison Square Garden.
We saw the first WNBA playoff game of the year with the NY Liberty against Indiana. It was a really good game and I got goosebumps being in The Garden. It was really just awesome to be there and feel all the energy of past games. The Liberty has some awesome players on the team. Becky Hammon was a very good point guard. Although Indiana shut her down in the 2nd half and won the game. It was still just great to see basketball played in the Garden.
We then went back down and got on the subway. MAN, is it hot down there. It must be 150 degrees down there in the summer. We came back to the cafe to say goodbye to Tony. He served us some chocolate cake with ice cream. As we were going through that cake like hurricane Katrina, we looked up and legendary comedian, Jackie Mason came in with some other comedians and sat behind us. We didn't disturb him , so Amy sneaked a picture over my shoulder. He was discussing getting old and having operations and what not. I'm a big Jackie Mason fan, so that was quite a topper to our trip to NYC. WE are now going to go up and pack and get ready for our Super Shuttle adventure part 2 to New Jersey Airport. And I am of course looking forward to being searched head to toe for being a retard for not renewing my drivers license. Oui vei. Thanks to everyone who went on the blog, and we will see everyone soon.
Peace out,
erik and amy!!!
