Day #19-Sunday

Sunday morning, we got up and went to brunch. We walked over to this little place called Cafe Gitane in the Jane Hotel. It was a cute, eccentric looking place. Very French, but in a casual, funky kind of way. Amy and I both got the orange blossom waffle:

YUM-O!

Scott got the couscous and lamb sausages:

This was absolutely divine, and I immediately regretted not getting it after I tasted how good his was. We will definitely be going back there for another plate of that! Our waffles were good too though, so we were happy with our yummy brunch.

Afterwards, we set out to do some sight seeing.

We saw the Chrysler Building:

Walked inside the Grand Central Terminal:

Went to Rockefellar Center:

Then we walked down 5th Ave to do some window shopping. A lot of big name designers have stores on this street:

We walked inside the beautiful Plaza Hotel:

And the Waldorf Astoria hotel. So many movies have been filmed in both of these famous hotels. We were then at Central Park, and went to the Sheep's Meadow to rest from all our walking.

Amy and I had put our towels in our purses so we had them to sit on in the park. We pulled them out and made a little spot in the grass to relax.

We hadn't sat there but 10 minutes, and of course it started to rain. So we packed up and went over to the Boathouse, where we knew we could sit under cover and have a glass of wine.

Scott and I especially love this place because it is where we got engaged!

4 years ago, he proposed to me in a rowboat in the lake right there behind us.

We had a light snack of cheese, fruit, and wine.

Then we left the park. In the rain. With no umbrellas. Luckily, Amy and I had our towels from the park to keep us dry. Or at least our hair from getting wet:

We managed to make it fun, despite the crappy weather. We walked around in the rain for a while, trying to decide what to do. We finally took a cab to the East Village to try to find somewhere to get in out of the rain and listen to some music. After 45 minutes of walking around in drizzle, we gave up on finding the music we wanted, and finally went into a little restaurant and shared a couple of appetizers. We shared the lamb sliders, and the macaroni and cheese with truffles.

How good does that look?!?!! Wow, it was! The perfect small plates for the 3 of us to split.

We took a subway home after that and as it was still early, decided to go to this new little place that we read about that played house and trance music. We got there around 10:00 and had a great time listening to our favorite music. A nice, low key lounge where you can sit and relax and listen to a DJ spin house music doesn't exist in KY. Just another reason why NYC is so much fun!
