New York - Day 3

We went back to the Rockefeller Center for a tour of the NBC Studios. We saw them prepping the Saturday Night Live set for the live taping, the NBC Nightly News set and some other fun studios. Pretty fun, but we weren't allowed to take photos, so no picture memories

We jumped on the bus tour which is a hop on/hop off bus and rode it down to China Town, Little Italy, the site of the World Trade Center buildings and by Battery Park. We didn't think it would take so long to get around, but with all of the stops, it would've been faster to walk to where we needed to be.

We found our way to our last show, STOMP, which was playing off-Broadway. (When they say off Broadway, they really mean OFF Broadway...it was way out towards the southern part of Manhattan.) It was playing in this really tiny theatre. We had tickets in the 5th row and so we were quite close to the performers. It was a pretty good show, but Wayne, Jade and I had all seen it before. It was a loud performance, but Wayne still managed to fall asleep through part of it. I don't know how anyone could sleep when people are banging on garbage cans!

We made our way back to Times Square and did some more shopping for souvenirs. We went to a huge M & M store and the biggest Toys R Us store in the world.
We were all pretty tired and so we decided to just take it easy and had an early night. Some rest is definitely needed!
