Even though Joe and I lived in New York City eleven years between the two of us, I guess we’re still technically tourists when we go (although we’re not the type who stop the pedestrian traffic flow to take pictures of the Naked Cowboy in Times Square).
Given our technically touristic status, I present a few pics and anecdotes from a tourists’ eye view.
Funny things we overheard while we were there:
® On line at TKTS by a sassy brassy know-it-all woman in red: “Well she looked like a size one, and had boobs out to here. I don’t even know how she balanced on those skates.” Lets hope she was talking about Xandu’s Kerry Butler.
® On line at Amy’s Breads, (home of the best sticky buns on the planet) by an older man who was there with his wife, when it came time to decide who was paying, “It doesn’t really matter because what’s mine is hers and what’s hers is…hers.”
® As we were filing out of Pygmalion (review coming soon), further proving the need to continue educating audiences, “Oy! There was so much to listen to. I just couldn’t do it. I needed the music.”
Celebrity sightings:
® Annie Golden–of Hair’s original cast and film, currently understudying in Xanadu, singing to herself in the subway station.
® David Schwimmer–pretending to be inconspicuous making a phone call in the middle of an empty lobby at Young Frankenstein.
® Meryl Streep–looking a little stressed, dashing past a gaggle of pedestrians on W. 44th.
Pics of the windows at Macy’s (cell phone pics don’t do them justice):

Nice pictures! I’ve never seen the Macy’s store windows. And I can’t believe you saw Meryl Streep. How cool! Sounds like you and Joe had a really great time. As for me, I love being a tourist. I mean, one of my favorite things to do in San Francisco is ride the cable cars! But I would never, ever stop traffic to take a picture of the Naked Cowboy.
