Day two was soooo much better! The major snow storm had passed. There was still snow on the ground and it was chilly but much easier to get around. We slept in a little and took the hotel shuttle to the train. Turns out there was still planned work going on so we had a little maze to figure out where we were going.
Our first stop was Times Square. It was almost lunch time by the time we got there so we wandered around until we found an Irish Pub called The Playwright. It was okay. Pricey since it was Times Square! After, we walked many blocks over to Central Park to meet up with Natalie and David. I had met Natalie at the wedding I shot on my birthday, she was a bridesmaid. Turns out she is getting married and lives in NYC! Small world, so we decided to do an impromptu engagement session while we were here.
We had a blast wandering around Central Park with them. The snow knocked down a ton of branches so alot of the park was closed off. We had to be by the Plaza hotel by 2:45 for the Sex and the City tour and they made sure we were there in time!
The SATC tour was fun! The tour guide was a comedienne and super funny! They took us to spots they hit up in the show and movie. We stopped at the sex toy store (where Charlotte bought her rabbit vibrator), Buddaken restaurant (where Big & Carrie had their rehearsal dinner), Bleeker St (Where Magnolia Bakery is, another scene in the show) and finally ended up at Aiden and Steve's bar Scout (which is actually O'Niells) Lots to take in and they played the scenes from the show to help us remember. Jason didn't die of boredom. ;-)
After the tour it was starting to get dark and we wandered around Bryant Park. We stopped for a slice of real NY pizza and came across Rockafeller Center. So pretty at night all lit up! We went to Justin Timberlake's restaurant Southern Hospitality and had a drink and appetizer. We happened upon the restaurant while looking for a beer bar called the Pony Bar. We sat there for awhile enjoying some yummy beer! It was about 11pm when we left so we went to the Empire State Building. It was pretty cold and crowded up there but the view was amazing!!
We made our way back to the warm hotel room and passed out for the night!
