So we thought that everything would be shut on Easter Sunday and it would be really quiet. Wrong! In fact they shut down some of the roads for the Easter parade where people walked through with their Easter bonnets. Everyone seemed to be wandering round with bunny ears or wearing something spring like. 10/10 for effort. Have put some pics below from the NY Easter efforts - including the window display for Louis Vuitton where their products are hatching out of their and the Easter cupcakes in the Magnolia Bakery (Great recommendation Kathryn and Heather!)
The BIG piano
This was probably one of the things on my 'things to do before you die' list which is - have a little dance on the piano on the floor of the toy store 'FAO Schwartz' from the film big. If anyone is feeling generous and thinking of buying me one for Christmas - it would only cost 1/4 million dollars. Ok with you? thanks! :) Below is not only a picture of me doing this but James thought he would film me looking special on it too :p (I was actually trying to play the tune from the film but some kids kept ruining it for me! :p)** I also had a hug with a giant UGLY doll (as you do) that was for you Kat :p
**Due to technical difficulties I'll have to upload the video at a later time - sorry to disappoint folks! :p
Sunstroke in central park
Central park was amazing and we loved the street performers - especially the guy below who was a comedian as well - so funny. I enjoyed my 'lick-a-flavour' ice lolly which had a joke on the stick - which we have stopped doing in the UK now I think? What made it funny was it only works in a New York accent :p But yes was very sunny and hot.
Also saw 'strawberry fields' and the dakota building - especially for you Jason!
Top of the rock
Considering the amazing unexpected hot weather we had during the day we were GUTTED that it rained in the evening after buying tickets for the sunset views at the rockafella building. We did the tour and were a bit underwhelmed as there were so many tourists we were just shepherded around for. It was shortly after this I had to get home as I had a migraine from the sunny day - us paleys just cant cope. Food was ok - some really nice things but nothing to shout out about in particular - James liked the Brooklyn beer :p Will
leave on that note with some pics from the city that day.
