New Years in New York-Dec 30, 2007

[cabenson]

Woke up with a bit of a headache so we headed to Brooklyn Diner for breakfast:

Mrs. CB had Blueberry and Lemon Zest pancakes,(that's her rack) while I had


Tony Bennett's French Toast.

Fortified, we hit the road like true tourists and took a million pics:


Big Red Christmas Balls


Just to show you how big they were (I'm 5'10")


Big Ornaments


Mrs. CB and big lights


Big train, big clown, big queer...you decide what's what.

After lunch, we went back to the room for a quick nap. Then off to:

Radio City Music Hall where we saw the Rockettes. That place is absolutely stunning inside. And due to my Ticketmaster kung fu, I had gotten us tix only 11 rows from the stage. Oh yeah!

When the show was over, it was dark out:


We left the show and went to Bar Americain (Bobby Flay) for a lovely dinner. I now have a signature drink, the Dark and Stormy-dark rum, ginger beer and lime. Yum!

Post dinner entertainment was a walk in the rain to Rockefeller Center to see the tree:


Tree at RC


Tree topper


RC Holidays




Ice Rink. We couldn't get close, but an officer took a pic for us:




Snowflake light show was really cool!


Angels trumpetting their horns


Soldier's butt

And bonus shots of me having fun with the "O-H-I-O cheer"under the tree:


"O"-

"H"-

"I"-

"O"
GO BUCKEYES!!

We went back to the hotel, ordered a bottle of wine and got a good night's sleep in preparation for New Year's Eve!

O-H-I-O

You yell it in Rockerfeller Center in NYC and discover you are standing next to an elderly couple from Cleveland--true.

My favorite was the ten year old boy who was awe-struck by the large ornaments--> "But, mom, they are HUGE ornaments and people are just walking past them not looking!"

Ah, innocence.

OHIO! Is that what she was spelling? It is hard to see parts of her arms on my dim screen, I thought she was doing the YMCA in the wrong order. YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG, CB! ;)

Oooo, look at those big balls (like you're not going to get plenty of other comments on those from your flist).

Actually, fuck that, look at that french toast! Delicious. I feel a trip to waffle house may be in order.

I'm soooo jealous that you got to hit up Rockefeller and Radio City. I just love going up there at Christmas time. It's always so beautiful. Glad to see you two having a good time!

And it totally took me a minute (umm, or two) to figure out you were spelling 'Ohio'. I was all, "aww, look at her being all adorable and waving her arms around".

Thanks for posting these, CB. Probably the closet I'll get to NYC.

the "O-H-I-O cheer"

It looks like you're being mugged!

I love all this food documentation...yummy!

And I never thought I would see you in a photo with such big balls. Well, not since your p0rn daze anyway....

the "O-H-I-O cheer"

Tonight's the big game. Wear you hats, eat peanut-butter and chocoate, and for just tonight, think RED.

I love my big red balls!
