Day 23

Regan has left for home today.  We head for our early morning coffee then wander uptown managing to do some last minute shopping on the way.  Did I mention GAP are having a great sale?  I wanted to visit the Broadway shop, which we did, and then we headed to Carmine's for lunch.  What a great dining experience.  They serve everything in massive proportions!  We decide upon upon linguine fruit de mer ... delicious ... and huge.  We also decide on 'Chocolate Bread Pudding'.  I tell the waiter that I am not a fan of 'bread pudding' but he insists I will love this .... he's not wrong!  But again, it is a huge serving - enough to feed four!  Well, we are on holidays for another day or two :)

We then head to Times Square to buy tickets for the theatre tonight - "Gentlemen's Guide to Love and Murder".  Next stop, the M&M shop. where, apart from the huge bag of M&M's I buy, I also purchase some printed with my name and birthday wishes to put away till August!  Do you think they'll last?

Back to the hotel for some R&R before spending our last night at the theatre.  It's Friday night and there are people everywhere.  Walking through Times Square you are assailed by a sea of 'characters' wanting you to take a photo with them .... at a cost of course.  People tempting you to see their shows or go to the local comedy club, tourists, locals, a plethora of different languages, sirens, street performers ..... there really is no other place like New York in the world.

Tonight we saw "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder".  In the style of vaudeville, this was such fun and the actors were amazing.  Unfortunately this show finishes on Sunday so really pleased we saw it.

We went straight home to the hotel tonight ... no food (who can eat after what we demolished at lunch?) and not even a drink!  (although Gordy did have a couple of wines at the theatre.

This is our last night in New York .....
