Take it Easy...Birthday Edition

J surprised me with such an amazing (and dorky) birthday present...The Eagles at Madison Square Garden!!!!  I loved it! It was so much fun, and I was completely surprised.  I spent my entire life growing up, listening to the Eagles, my parents are huge fans. 

We went to dinner first, and then he was trying to make me guess what we were doing.  Guess which subway start we're going to take, what do you think we're doing, do you have any ideas? I had no idea.  We got off at 34th street, and I figured we were going to Madison Square Garden, but then I didn't even know there was an Eagles tour.  As someone who is unfortunately susceptible to the Birthday Blues, I can say, this is the best birthday I've had in such a long time!

Empire

As I mentioned, J's cousin from Greece is visiting so it's tourist central, and it's so fun!  It's exhausting too, though.  If you have someone coming to town, those city passes are really the way to go, and the Empire State pass allows you entrance in the day, and in the night.  So while I worked, J took his cousin around town, and up the Empire State Building and then we met up for dinner, followed by night time viewing.

J scoffed when I first suggested going at night, but then conceded he liked it better at night...so much prettier, and maybe you'll meet Tom Hanks at midnight...J didn't get understand why I was looking for Tom, but you do, right?

Whisper...it really works?!

The great thing about having people visit is that you get to do the things you always wonder about, but are too busy playing it cool as a "New Yorker." J's cousin is visiting from Greece for the month, so we've been all over trying these things out.  The Whispering Wall at Grand Central is so cool, it really works! Stand in one corner and whisper sweet-nothings or dirty jokes to your sweetheart in the opposite corner and it comes through loud and clear!

This is J, in far right corner, and his cousin on the left, so I hope they weren't whispering sweet-nothings to each other.
