2006.09.11 Wow, in 5 weeks and 1 day we will be arriving in NY for the wedding. Things are feeling very under control after Kate's trip at the end of August, during which she picked the menu, got her hair and makeup done, fitted her dress, and tasted and ordered tons of yummy cakes from Billy's Bakery. Now we're just waiting for the RSVPs to come in before doing the most important thing -- ordering the liquor. We can't wait to see all of you in New York soon!

Fun To Do
We can't even begin to address all of the fantastic things to do in New York City so we'll highlight a few of our favorites.
Staying in Midtown means access to some of the most traditional New York City activities. Head over to 5th Avenue and walk north to visit Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral and Central Park. If you make it up to 83nd Street you'll find the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
If you'd like to hit a Broadway matinee check out the TKTS booth at 47th St. and 7th Avenue. If you get there early enough you can purchase same day 1/2 price tickets for all the hottest shows. They only accept cash so make sure to have enough on hand.
If you've decided to stay at the Beacon Hotel you've lucked out, the world's greatest grocery store, Zabar's, is located just up the block at 80th Street and Broadway. Wander the aisles for gourmet treats that you can't find anywhere else. Also try to visit H&H Bagels one morning at 79th Street and Broadway for an authentic New York breakfast.
Enjoy New York!
