Alicia comes to NYC!! #2

Day #2 of Alicia in the city was a Saturday.

(note to self: don't ever let Levi grow his hair out long...it looks much better short. The end)

1st stop of the day was to the Wicked lottery.

Here we are waiting anxiously to see if our name is called.....and the winner is Cannon! Saweet! I sent Elyse with Alicia because she just LOVES wicked. Sadly I didn't take any pictures of them before the show, but they loved it! Since we had some time to kill until showtime I figured we'd walk around Times Square and show Alicia some of the silly stores they have. BIG mistake. It. Was. Packed. We spent the next 2 hours shuffling around trying to just get through crowds. Every store had a line to it. Crazy. 

This was the dancing and singing Salvation Army guy. He had to do something to keep from going crazy from the frickin bell...how do they stand it? 

Do they look happy or what?

I had to introduce Alicia to Buttercup.

This guy sounded like James Taylor.

Hilarious sign. Healthies and Beautifies. I am sure this was a massage parlor of ill repute if you catch mah drift.

Then on to my favorite Ethiopian restaurant, Meskrem ! Yum Yum! 

Alicia got a big kick out of this sign. What does the office of mental hygiene have to do with a restaurant. Maybe it was polluting our minds? Perhaps there were brain eating amoebas in the water?

I wish I could remember the name of this darling little place, but it is on Spring street right off the 6 train. It was divine!

Of course we had to stop for our 3rd treat of the night....Rice to Riches. All rice pudding all the time. Yum.

Hah!
