A Wicked Weekend! :)

This weekend was one of the most memorable of all my 36 years thanks to both my sisters.  This weekend was very special  for two reasons, the first because as many of you know Halloween is my b-day and the second because this weekend felt like my last chance for a long while to do something fun and enjoy it as I will be starting chemotherapy on Wednesday.

My sisters took me to New York City on Saturday with tickets to Wicked.  We took the train into NYC Saturday morning and walked through the fashion district, as hard as it was there was nothing bought (at that time).  We ended up at the famous Carnegie Deli for lunch where we feasted on the matzo ball soup and the world famous "Woody Allen" sandwich, for those of you who have never been--everything is amazing but the portions are HUGE, what we had could literally feed a small starving nation!  We were so full we didn't have any room to try their enormous slice of cheese cake which looked so good!:(

With our appetites satisfied and very full tummies, we headed to the Gershwin Theater where I was blown away by Wicked, and the cherry on top--the autographed poster which Vicky bought me!!  (It was the 7th anniversary of the musical this past weekend and to celebrate they were selling special posters autographed by the cast.)

Wishing I could be Elphaba or Glinda, we headed out to try to catch a cab to head toward Babbo for dinner--yeah right, it felt like nearly an hour before we could grab an over priced "luxury" cab and by the time we got to Babbo, we were s*@% out of luck--could have used Elphaba's powers!  So we headed to Chelsea Market and dined on the fabulous fare there!  Then back to the fashion district where we continued with some retail therapy.

Exhausted but feeling like I could defy gravity, we made it back to Penn Station to catch our train back to B'more!!  What a weekend, I love NY!  Thank you Sophie and Vicky for a weekend I will NEVER forget!
