New York City



This weekend we headed up to New Jersey/ New York City to see Eric perform in ABT's La Bayadere. It was amazing! Of course, I am by no means a ballet expert, but it was really great. It's so weird to actually know someone that performs on the Met stage.. kind of cool :) Went out for dinner at this place across the street (okay, i confess I'm horrible at remembering street/restaurant names in nyc) the food was quite tasty. Got 3 giant pizzas, appetizers and lasagna. Mmmmm. After the performance we went to a bakery called Magnolia's(?) a few blocks up and had some dessert.

Saturday we lounged around deciding what to do and eventually by 2pm we decided to go to the mall to do some shopping and see a movie. (Aren't we just the go- getters). We ended up seeing Get Smart which was actually a pretty good movie.

Sorry I don't have any pictures of the performance... unfortunately flash photography can be "harmful" to the dancers so I kindly refrained :) Also didn't want my new camera taken away. It was also remarkably hard to get a good shot of the NYC skyline while zooming down a crowded highway. Oh well, better luck next time.

The restaurant we ate at is called Cafe Fiorello. It's a very popular place especially for Lincoln Center ticket holders! I'm glad you liked the ballet, and next time I need to get you and Sarah backstage so you can see how everything works. Miss you already. Love - Etamm
