We're onto our second day in NYC and, I believe, our second to last trip post. On Saturday morning we hit the City at full speed ahead. Our first stop was at the Gershwin Theater on Broadway to enter to (hopefully) win tickets in the ticket lottery for the musical Wicked. Unfortunately we were not the only people to show up and therefore were competing with 200+ others for 25 tickets. The picture below was taken right before they started calling out the names of the lottery winners and everyone was buzzing! Sadly, we didn't win tickets, but I did get my ear drum blown out by the lady next to me who screamed at a blistering pitch when both she and her daughter won tickets.
We had some time between when we put our names in the Wicked lottery and when we had to be back at the theater to find out who the winners were. So we headed over to Times Square to check out what the big fuss was about. This is definitely the touristy part of the city. It's the only place where we saw a Chili's, so that tells you something.
After our heart breaking loss at the Wicked lottery we headed over to the TKTS booth to get discounted tickets to another Broadway show. We were able to get great seats for a show called Spring Awakening which won the Tony for Best Musical in 2007. Being able to see a show on Broadway was definitely a great experience. The next few pictures below are from outside and inside the theater.
After the show we walked up to Central Park and spent a couple hours walking around. I'm pretty sure we didn't even cover a fraction of the park; it's so huge! The weather was beautiful and many of the trees and flowers were blooming and it was absolutely gorgeous.
Later that night we met up with our friend Keren and she took us up to a rooftop bar on a building that looks straight up at the Empire State Building. It was an incredible view and was a great place to hang out and wrap up our last night in New York!
