the city so nice they named it twice

So... I came back from a week in NYC last Monday :)
I'll tell a few details of each day.

Monday I got lost at the Grand Central Station and enjoyed my way back to the hotel by walking on 5th avenue, Broadway and Times Square. They picked me up and we went to Rockefeller Center and had a great view of The City. At night, we went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and took photos with almost every wax celebrity.

Tuesday We took the Circle Line Cruise and saw the Statue of Liberty and some famous bridges. We shopped and, at night, we went to the top of the Empire state and saw the city that never sleeps.

Wednesday We went to The Dakota and walked through Strawberry Fields. Then, we went to the American National History Museum. After that, we crossed Central Park by the Jackie Onassis Reservoir to go to the Guggenheim Museum. We closed the day with Broadway's The Phantom of the Opera.

Thursday We crossed Central Park in order to arrive to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (my favourite), and then, headed our way to the Frick Collection. After some art, we headed to the Fashion avenue and saw all the famous boutiques (I had a little Audrey Hepburn moment in front of Tifanny & Co). It was a great day ♥.

Friday We went to Ground Zero by subway. Then, we visited St. Paul's chapel and shopped at J&R on our way to Wall Street. Next step: Chinatown and SoHo. There, we went to the New Museum (there was like the best elevator ever) and then to Strand (I had to buy a bag, because I bought plenty of books).

Saturday First stop: St. Patrick's Cathedral. Then, we bought some books at Barnes & Noble. Then we went to the MoMA (great museum too). We went walking to the Whitney Museum (on our way, we passed by The New York Palace and there was a little Gossip Girl moment there). After the Whitney, we hurried our way to the Central Zoo and then back to the hotel. Kichi, iGnaa and I went to see Chicago The Musical and then we had like our "last supper".

Sunday Last day, last souvenirs and long flight.

six movies a week

The Simpsons Movie: I laughed a lot. Even though i expecte much more about a move which lasted 20 years for being done. Anyway, it was great.





The Queen: It was a good movie, in my opinion, but not the best. I loved the performances (Hellen Mirren was amazing!) and also admire Diana, just like my mum does.



Date Movie: Another funny movie. I loved it. Even it's not the best comedy ever, but it's just great. It's quite like the Scary Movie sequel or like Not Another Teen Movie.



Ocean's Twelve: It's just great!!!! I loved the performances, the actors, everything. A great movie, a great story. I liked thet part in which Tess (Julia Roberts) makes herself look like Julia Roberts and then appeared Bruce Willis as himself talking to her and everything.

Marie Antoinette: Even though I think the performances, the music, the production and the art direction were awesome, I found that it was kinda' boring, it was sooooo slow that I was sleepy at times.


Live Free or Die Hard:
Full action. Bruce Willis never dies and I think that's great. I love how Mary Elizabeth Winstead was there. I certainly, didn't sleep.
