First: Michelle visited me!! Here is the abridged version of her trip.
Coffee! Aren't my fake glasses great?
Hallo Berlin! It's like being back in Vienna.
Times Square for some touristy pictures.
McDonald's for free bathrooms and straws. Also to prove there is no dollar menu in NYC and they sell McDonuts.
She wanted a real NY hotdog. I stuck with a kebab.
For those of you who don't remember, here is the origin of the wax lips. Also, these are brand new. Cuz mine were starting to get pretty gross.
New day; ready to go.
We saw an art exhibit, no pictures allowed of course, that had the artwork of Maurice Sendek (Where the Wild Things Are) and Dr. Suess.
Tiny cupcakes!! I had a s'more and cinnamon, Michelle had a peanut butter and mint.
This is our homage to Lucille Bluth. We both love her.
I made her buy honey-roasted peanuts. So good!
She wanted to go to a hot-dog place, so of course I took her to Crif Dog, best hot dogs ever. PS- I tried one with cream cheese and salsa. Why doesn't everyone always put cream cheese on a hot dog?
On our way to the concert that night. We went to my friend/co-worker Leon's concert.
Awesome graffiti outside the concert.
Oh man, after the concert we (plus Tara and Jon) went to Katz's Deli, which is supposedly the best sandwich in NYC. They are not kidding!! My rueben was so good!! Dill pickle relish: put it on all your ruebens.
Bathroom pic for my collection.
On our way the next morning.
Central park!
Alice in Wonderland.
Foux de Fafa!!
Michelle wanted to go the the Staue of Libery, but it's so far away and hard to get to and it was already getting late. So we went to battery park instead (I swear the staute looks bigger in real life than pics) and made up for not going by wearing ridiculous makeup. Which we put on in Borders. Yah.
I hate pigeons and this sign made me happy.
Like my new coat?
Another deli for dinner, then off to the Avett Brothers concert. Michelle left the next morning. It was such a fun visit and I'm so glad she came (if it seems ridiculously short, she was here for like a day and a half and amused herself while I worked). And I must say, people were sooo nice to me when we had on all that crazy makeup. Some german tourists even asked to take pictures with us, and people gave up tables for us, we got great service at restaraunts. It was weird.
