NYC- Pop Culture

 As you can imagine, being on a tour of NYC with me is answering a lot of questions about TV and movies.  Where did Seinfeld live? Where do the Real Housewives live? 

So our tour guide figured out really fast what I actually wanted to see on our tour. 

The Friends apartment building. 

Was there ever any doubt I would want to see this? 



The Plaza 

And because my husband is literally perfect he said, "I was thinking The Plaza in June" as we were getting our picture made...of course referencing the romcom masterpiece, Sweet Home Alabama.  


And guess what just happens to be down the street from The Plaza? 

You guessed it! 


We rode up and down the escalator like we were announcing we were running for president, and the only things we even bought in NYC were from the gift shop!



Then we saw Rockefeller Center.  No giant Christmas tree or ice skating, but I got to see it, and the outside of the Today Show


And we went to see the Broadway version of one of my all-time favorite movies, Back to the Future.  I absolutely love Back to the Future (so much so that I hate Back to the Future 2 and 3) so I was worried my expectations might be too high. But I really, really enjoyed it.  They changed 1 or 2 things from the movie, but it is so, so good and made me really happy.  The guy playing Marty was doing it like Michael J. Fox, and he was excellent. 



And for the best Pop Culture sighting of all....I walked down the stairs behind Jon Bon Jovi.  I noticed his hair before anything else, and literally thought to myself, "Huh, that guy's hair looks like Jon Bon Jovi's".  Then when his security guard almost knocked down one of the girls in our party, we realized oh, that's because it is Jon Bon Jovi!
