Magnet #1020 - Disney, New York CityFact: I paid way too much for this magnet. But. It was opening day at Disney's new Flagship store in Times Square a few weeks ago, and so, was totally worth it.
Plus, look at it! So darn cute! If they had a second one, with a complementary set of Disney ones (they could so do one with just the princesses!), I would totally have gotten it.
Spent the day playing tourist again in my city - one of my favorite things to do here. One of my former clients from Italy is here this week with her boyfriend, so we went wandering around Queens and midtown.
Yes, Queens. They wanted to go, so I brought them all the way out to Corona Park and the Queens Museum of Art, to see all the World's Fair stuff. You know I love it there.
Her BF is an architect, so he was totally interested in the architecture out there, and in midtown. So I picked up a copy of Francis Morrone's Architectural Guidebook to the City for him - remember him? The dude who gave the Plaza tour?
I firmly believe that all visiting architects should have that book in hand while wandering around town. We wandered through Grand Central, up Park Avenue to visit the Seagram Building, Lever House and the Frank Lloyd Wright showroom, over to Madison for the AT&T/SONY Building - such a pleasure to wander around with someone who appreciates the buildings themselves! We followed that by a quick trip into Cartier, St. Patrick's, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square for Disney, M&Ms and Hershey's, and Toys R Us.
Yep. All day. Loved it. Walking, freezing and eating. My kind of day.
Well, without the freezing, maybe.

You are *so* my sister. Rest up! You'll be walking and freezing here too!
Sounds like a perfect day! I'm jealous.
Yep. Despite the cold, it really was a good day!
Though, Vicki, you'll laugh to know that we did the same walk, looking for someplace to eat. Only this time, we actually went down Restaurant Row and over to Ninth. We must have looked at 20 menus, before settling on a French Thai place called Breeze! It was good, but it definitely reminded me of our Trailer Park jaunt!
