When Ben heard about The Last Starfighter the Musical at Storm Theater<\/a> he knew he just couldn’t miss it. He talked me into using Jet Blue<\/a>, an airline I’ve come to love, and said we shouldn’t bother with a hotel.<\/p>\n

So we left Denver Saturday morning at 1 am and arrived in New York at 6 am. We hopped on the subway and had breakfast at Tom’s Diner<\/a>. You can see the famous “Restaurant” sign between us.<\/p>\n

We took a long walk through central park. I went shopping at one of my favorite stores, H&M, near Rockafeller square. Then we strolled over to Times Square to locate the theater. We happened upon a fantastic pizza place<\/a>. Mmmm, New York pizza. Ain’t nothing like it. Unfortnately, my appetite was so out of whack from our weird schedule that I couldn’t eat nearly as much as I would have liked.<\/p>\n

The musical was…cheesy. Ben enjoyed it immensly. I found it funny at times. I hated the movie it’s based on, what can I say? Besides, the musical wasn’t the reason I came along. I came for the adventure.<\/p>\n

The last item on our agenda was an egg cream. Not to hard to find one, even in the rain. I think the place was called West Side diner. Strange how all the diner-type restaurants have the same menu with the same cantalope and cottage cheese dish, and a bored girl sitting at a cash register up front.<\/p>\n

After an exhausting flight home, we collapsed in bed aroudn midnight Saturday night. Although it was thoroughly awesome, I don’t think I’ll be making another trip like that anytime soon.<\/p>\n
