I adored New York. I walked so much. I ate so much. I did so much. I must announce that if you are going to go to New York, Clell Tickle is the ultimate tour guide. He is a realtor and an actor so not only does he know all kinds of trivia about the city, but he knows where loads of things were filmed. I lucked out so hard that he was not working and had time to show me all over town. I don’t think that I could thank him enough for everything. He showed me little treats all over the city. I had oysters for the first time at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station, I saw the ferris wheel inside ToysRUs, I walked on the big piano in FAO Schwartz, I stood in awe at the Twin Tower memorial, I ate pizza and cannolis in Little Italy, I bought fake designer sunglasses in Chinatown, I saw a show impromptu off broadway show that was fabulous by seeing a sign in Soho on a wall. Clell really knows how to show a gal a good time. I tell you, ladies Clell is a keeper.

I also saw one of my dearest friends Dave when I was out there. He and his wife, Rifat live in New Jersey with their darling son Benjamin. Ben is way too cute for words and Dave is doing quite well for himself. I was more than delighted to see them all as it has been several years. They will always have a place in my heart.

So in one little trip, I went to Hoboken, Ridgewood and some other parts of NJ and all of NY and I saw 2 shows. One called “At Least It’s Pink” which was quite hilarious and the broadway hit “Avenue Q” which was in no way short of phenomenal. It is the show with the puppets which explains my attraction.
