Next was my favorite part, and most dangerous…shopping!!! I made my first
Lululemon purchase! Eek my wallet is screaming at me (judge all you want but I have been eyeing these pants for months). And we grabbed another snack and hot drink while I waited for my toes to defrost. It was quite a chilly and windy day. But, I was pretty pumped to see these fancy NYC
Starbucks with menu items I have never seen before, like butternut squash and sage tarts, pumpkin croissants and macaroon cookies.
 |
Umm, yumm!! This was the warm and chewy
chocolate macaroon cookie :) Need I say more?! |
After warming up a bit, regaining circulation in my feet, and throwing on a third outer layer, we continues out journey. The next stop was
Madison Square Garden and the building I though looked awesome across the street, the United States Post Office. You might think I'm a dork, but seriously guys, it was ginormous!
 |
And the post office. This is only
like a quarter of the building. |

By then it was getting dark so we decided to head home, riding through times square. So crazy. Bikers, cars, walkers, carts, everything, everywhere! I was weaving in and out. I could't believe I made it through. We dropped off our stuff and changed for dinner and a show. We went to this awesome
Japanese BBQ restaurant where you order what you want and grill it at your table, yes your table has a grill built into it. How cool is that? Then there are bbq sauces at the table for you to add to your cooked food, mmm. So we ordered a little of everything and had a little feast.

After filling our belly's we were off to the show. We saw
First Date which was quite hilarious and I would defiantly recommend it. But even better then the musical was the fact that (as I mentioned above)
Zachary Levi, the main character of "
Chuck" (one of my favorite shows ever) was the main character in the play. Again, OMG! I was so excited, and I got to meet him, and get my photograph with him (and again, damn my camera breaking, good thing I had my handy dandy "dumb" phone), and get him to sign my play bill! Ahhh, words cannot express!!!! And Brenden was super jealous, ha.
 |
There he is!!! (just as awesome
in person as his characters are) |
 |
| With meeeee!!! EEK, his arm was around me. |
Once I was able to recollect myself (jk, I wasn't that bad) we went to Stardust for some dessert. All of the waiters sing and dance here, pretty cool. So I listened as I enjoyed some fruit and frozen yogurt. I then hailed a cab and we went back to the hotel, where we went to the 27th floor to look at the amazing view for a few minutes before collapsing on the bed to sleep. NYC biking adventure day 1 = SUCCESS! :D
