Sigh. I’ve been dragging out the NYC recap posts as long as possible, but this is the last one. The vacation (and the reliving of the vacation) is over.

So this was Day 4 of our NYC Thanksgiving vacation. There’s a lot of pressure on a day that follows the day I see Hamilton on Broadway, but Day 4 did its best. It didn’t try to be better, it just tried to be great in its own special way. Good job, Day 4. You were great. Everything else on our to-do list was done, and you let us do whatever we wanted. We had a scrumptious brunch, post-brunch cookies (vacation calories don’t count), walked around Central Park, visited the Frick Collection, wandered in a few stores, and finished the day off with an amazing meal at Manzo. The gnocchi was a borderline religious experience.

The cherry on top of Day 4 was that I wore my favorite outfit of the trip! I’m resolving to wear more red because it makes me feel sassy and I think I look good in it. Plus it’s festive this time of year. I also felt pretty hip in my faux leather leggings and Chucks.

I know you’ve been waiting for it, and here it is: the outfit I wore the day I saw Hamilton! OK, maybe this is one of those days where the outfit isn’t nearly as exciting as what I did while I wore it.

Back story on how we managed to get tickets to the most insanely popular musical in the world: Step 1: random good luck. Step 2: credit card. That’s pretty much it. We considered selling the tickets for a sweet profit but decided the experience was worth more to us. I can now safely say I have no regrets about our decision! Hamilton lived up to the hype and then some.

Most of the original cast is gone now, but the new people are no slumps. Like, I think they might have done some singing before. Maybe some middle school talent shows or something. George Washington was my favorite! Anywho, as fun as it is to just listen to the soundtrack, seeing it on Broadway is some next level shit. I absolutely loved the choreography (which can make or break a show if you ask me) and…I don’t know…there’s just something very special about being in the room where it happens. 😉

Now that we have the back story and the main event out of the way, here’s your sub-plot: When we were waiting in line outside the theater, Kristin noticed someone a few feet away from us wearing a fabulous leopard print coat and she gave me a nudge to show me said fabulous coat. I looked up and realized (1) that really was a fabulous coat, and (2) the person wearing the fabulous coat was Christina Hendricks. Yep, I saw Hamilton with Joan from Mad Men.

Again, no regrets. One more NYC post still to come – stay tuned!
