Today Mel and I broke away from the rest of the group and did a walking tour of the city really. We went to Bryant Park and got crepes for breakfast, I had a nutella one. Then we went to pick up our NYE tickets but to do that we went past the Chrysler Building, the New York public library and Grand Central Station. So we walked from 42nd Street down to 17th Street only to find that the tickets were now up at 51st Street! When we were at 17th Street we checked out Union Square and the Flatiron Building.
After we finally got our tickets we went to Macy's and H&M for some light shopping. I bought a pair of stockings and a skirt.
After that we went back to the apartment for a nap and then got ready to go out for Mel's birthday dinner. We went to this Lebanese restaurant called Gazalas. The food was very nice.
We then went out to a bar that Mel and Shari got some free drink tokens for the night before. It was called the Raccoon Lodge. It was just an ordinary bar and we were under the impression that it was supposed to do rock 'n' roll themed so it was a bit disappointing.
We left the Lodge and went to the Meat Packers District which is supposed to be a good place to go out to clubs. There were a lot of clubs and also a lot of long lines. We waited in one line for about 20mins. Didn't move at all so decided to try another place. We ended up going to some restaurant which had an outdoor style beer garden and no line! I didn't really drink much but some American guy bought us all tequila shots so I had that.
We came home at around 3am and I gave Mel her present and she thought it was really funny. We are going to wear our I heart MS and KG shirts tomorrow. Hahaha
