Anna and I went to New York City on June 10, 2009. Her choir, the Younger Generation Chorus got to sing at Carnegie Hall as part of a Children's Music Festival. Here's the rundown on our trip.
Wednesday, June 10. Arrive in Newark, NJ. Ride the bus to the hotel, get settled and quickly head out the door to begin exploring New York City. Our first stop was the world famous Carnegie Deli. They are famous for their corned beef and pastrami sandwich. You know what they say, "When in Rome..." So I tried the famous sandwich. It was delicious. However, those New Yorkers are hooked on spicy yellow mustard. Who needs that?? After filling out bellies, we headed for Time Square and the M & M store. That night we went to see Mary Poppins on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theater. It was a fantastic show. The set was really neat and the theatre was beautiful. My favorite part was the dancing on the rooftops..."Step in Time" (also my favorite part in the movie). Anna really enjoyed the show. At intermission, there was a flurry of text messaging going on as we received word of severe thunderstorms and tornadic activity back home. Fortunately, the family was safe and hiding out in the closet for the evening.
