After a lovely evening at Ryan and Tarek's, we slept in before venturing down the street to Bryant Park for something brunch-like at the Christmas Market. We were a bit overwhelmed by the crowds and underwhelmed by the selections (well...the prices) and just got a Biscoff sandwich and then returned to the Italian restaurant from day one for a proper lunch. After carb loading, we walked to Times Square to meet Ryan for our SIX matinee.
SIX was exceptional! The three Shields are not big musical fans, but this one was fast paced and modern and all of us loved it! Ryan knew he was going to love it before he got there, and he was not disappointed. The show does not have an intermission so we had plenty of time to leisurely stroll over to Hudson Yard for our late dinner with Tarek. We included a detour though Macy's where they still had some of the end of the parade route staging setup.
We either didn't walk around all of the sides in order to see them or they were ho-hum, but there were no really special Christmas windows like I see at Marshall Fields' in Chicago. Inside there was a section devoted to parade history and merch.
Dinner was amazing! We went to a Lebanese fusion restaurant called Zou Zou. We all loved absolutely everything we ate! As we were nearing dessert, a group of Ryan and Tarek's friends were seated at the table next to us. Clearly this is the it place to dine!
