independence day

hey all

happy independence day!

bizarrely, it's only been like a day since i last posted, but a lot of things happen in new york in 24 hours!

we went to see jersey boys yesterday and it was fantastic - i loved all the songs, and we had really good seats. in true viki style, i was late - having waited 20 minutes for a connecting subway train - grrrr - me and public transport just don't mix... so i ran into the theatre and just had time for a restroom visit and about 30 seconds after i sat down it started - phew!!!

after the show we pootled around, heading for the east village where we were supposed to be meeting up with john - but that was too complicated and we were too hot and very hungry - then we happened across a fab little restaurant called 'B bar and grill' with a gorgeous outside garden where we sat and had some lovely food. we missed out on dessert to sample the cocktails - i had a spiced margarita - wow - super strong but mmmmmm-mmmmmm! then off for more drinkies for john's b-day - then off home to bed for me!

had a relaxing morning this morning then headed off to yoga and a spot of shopping. went over to the west-side to international house, where we went up to the roof to watch the fireworks - we were a bit too far uptown, but they were still pretty amazing... then sooooo hungry - and we went to the diner made famous by suzanne vega's song 'tom's diner' and the diner used for the exterior shots in seinfeld!!!! how cool?
