Day 6 of NYC Aug.25,2010

First things first we have to explain the differences between vacations and trips.

Vacation= relaxing, enjoy the simple things, slow paced and chill.

Trip= high paced, see a lot of cool things, always moving, tired at the end of the day.

Ok that being said this was a BIG TRIP!!! We brought our most comfortable walking shoes and used them to full capacity. We were so tired by day 5 that we decided to sleep in! Since it was a rainy day that worked out perfect. We slept in till about 10am which was much needed since we had been walking all day for that last week and staying up late each night. So once we got all dressed and ready we went to our favorite and closest subway terminal GRAND CENTRAL STATION!!! Yes we would walk about 3 blocks every day to this and get on whatever subway we needed to for that day. Today was a little different. We stopped to take pictures. It was so amazing so see all the great work that this station has. It has different constellations painted on the ceiling and cool old lights everywhere. Not to mention all the people. We tried taking some more cool still/moving pictures. We are so beginner but they were fun!! Then we headed to the Museum of Natural History. (yes that is the one they filmed "The Night at the Museum) It was Packed with people and mainly children. It is a child's wonderland. So much to see. We started off watching the HOBBLE Imax movie which was AMAZING!! It was my favorite part of that museum. Then we went around looking at all the things they have there!! WOW!! Talk about overwhelming. Bryan was done with museums after today! I would have to agree with him. So then we heard that Gray's Papaya was a good hot doggery. YE, that is a real word, i didn't make it up. Although it sounds like a word that I would make up. The hot dogs were good nothing special but the drink was AWESOME!! Bryan said it was the Best pina colada that he has ever had!! It was delicious!! So delicious that we went back and bought the biggest size of drink they sale. That explains the Huge Yellow thing we are holding in our hands. So after that we went shopping on Canal Street to look for cute purses, rad ties, a cool NYC shirt, scarfs, and anything else that looked cool. We got hungry again and wanted to eat in Chinatown and so we asked just the first person that we came to what was the best place to eat homemade noodles in Chinatown. Well lucky us this guy was actually Chinese but spoke perfect English. Yay!! His name was Kevin Chew and he was the nicest guy. He had just gotten out of his dentist appointment early and had a few 20 mins. to blow so he said he would take us to his favorite place to eat. We followed and he told us more about NYC since he was a native. It was so nice to talk to him. So we came to thing hole in the wall restaurant and the sign outside was in Chinese Characters. We wouldn't of ever found this place if it wasn't for Kevin. He explained what his favorite thing to get was and then explained to sauces to put on them. He also showed us how to get back to the subway while we waited for our food. We got a noodle bowl with pork and yummy sauce and then we got dumplings (pot stickers) some boiled and some fried. It was all so delicious. THANKS KEVIN our new friend!! Bryan said that was he favorite meal we ate in New York. So after that we went home got ready for Lion King!!! We were running real late and so we decided that we needed to experience a New York Taxi ride. It wasn't that bad. But I'm glad we took it or else we would of been late. It cost with tip like $7 but we only went a few blocks.Lion King was so fun to watch. The costumes themselves are so amazing. The music was great and it just very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it. After we walked around Time Square, got some cold stone ice cream and then went back to the hotel. This was our last NIGHT in NYC !!! It was Great!!!
