NYC Trip: Day 2

On our second day in New York we started out early in the morning with a taxi ride to The Wendy Williams Show! Chels had completed an online request for tickets, and she was able to get three! The great thing is that the tickets are free!! I had never done anything like sit in the audience of a live talk show, so I was so excited!! I had so many first time experiences on this amazing trip!

 My ticket and number!!

 The three of us seated and getting ready for the show to start!! We all actually got on TV when they panned to the audience! It was soooo cool hearing from people who watched us LIVE!

 Here is Wendy!!!

 This pic is a smidge out of order, but after leaving the show we saw The St. Patrick's Catherdral...which is totally breathtaking!!!

But back to The Wendy Williams Show...it was soooo neat to watch her and see how the cameras, makeup artists, producers and every thing work! Her guests were a mam from In Touch magazine with lots of gossip, Jimmie Walker from a 70's tv show, and a stylist giving tips on summer shoes! The audience received Jimmie Walker's new book, and a voucher from "Naughty Monkey" for a free pair of shoes (up to a $90 value). Chels and I have already ordered ours...matching sandals! :)

 After the show we headed to Rockefeller Plaza for some shopping and lunch!

 We went into the Lego store which overlooked Rockefeller Plaza!

 We had lunch right by the fountain

Out of order again, but this was the warm up guy for the Wendy Williams Show! He basically pumps up the audience! He's really good at his job, and sooooo funny!!

While in Rockefeller Plaza, I spotted Hoda from The Today Show in front of the NBC building!! She saw us looking at her and waved at us! She was so sweet and agreed to take a picture with us!!! How cool!!! :)

After a cupcake from yummy Magnolia Bakery it was time to get in line to be in the audience of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon!!! Brenda requested those tickets and got them for us!!! Free again, and listen to all the celebs we saw....Jimmy Fallon (of course), Selma Hayek, LMFAO, the four Jackson brothers, and the writer who wrote Social Networking, and is the writer for NewsRoom on HBO. No cameras were allowed in Jimmy Fallon, so I have no pics of it! It was very neat to see!

After Jimmy Fallon we headed to The Chelsea Market which is in the Meatpacking district of NYC. The market is in an old Nabisco factory. It is very historic and fascinating! There are many bakeries, places to eat, and stores. Very very trendy!!

 We went to a bakery there to get some delicious cake balls, and i had to take pictures of these intricate cupcakes! I wanted to get one for my kiddos, but I knew I wouldn't make it back with them in one piece!

 They were sooo cool!!

 After our visit at The Chelsea Market we walked around SoHo...another very trendy and happening area of NYC!

We took a cab back to the area that our hotel was in, and we shopped at Old Navy (which was 3 stories and is a flagship store), and we ate at a neat little Irish pub. I had my first Bison Burger!! Our feet were tired, but it was for sure another great day!!
