Today Dishing: New York City Blueprint Continued

Day 3

1. Stroll 5th Avenue
Check out the Tiffany Diamond at Tiffany’s. Amble through Bergdorf- Goodman. Light a candle at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

2. Go to the Whitney
Hopper exhibit on display. We weren’t crazy about the Whitney or the exhibit. Would not recommend this stop.

3.Drink at the Carlyle.
We had intended to lunch here but because we were dressed for walking, sitting in the dining room was not appropriate. Instead we noshed and had wine at Bemelmans Bar. The bar named for Ludwig Bemelmans, the creator of the Madeline children’s books, displays  the art of Bemelmans on the walls throughout the bar. In exchange for his artistry The Carlyle provided Bemelmans a year and a half of accommodations for him and his family. Most definitely worth the stop.

4. Dinner at the Bryant Park Grill
Review to follow.

5. See Kinky Boots.
This Tony Award winner is a must see. Perhaps the best musical I’ve ever seen. A trip to NYC would be worth it just to see this alone.

These suggested activities are only a few of the many the city offers. But planning ahead allows for accomplishing all this in three days.
