We had a lovely day today - the last in this vibrant city. It didn't rain (as it was supposed to), but it did get very hot in the afternoon. We managed to do a lot, anyway. We started our day by heading for TKTS in Times Square to get discount tickets.
Afterwards, I wanted to walk on the Fashion Walk of Fame, so we headed south on 7th Avenue to 42nd Street - the start of the former garment district. They have placed gold discs in the sidewalk honoring various fashion designers, so we looked at those as we walked south. The information kiosk is located by the huge sculpture of a needle in a button. There is also a statue of a garment worker at his machine.
After shopping at Loehman's on 7th Avenue,we ended up at Union Square to buy a snack at the Farmer's Market, rest, and people watch. Our play was at 2:30 at a theater in Times Square. We saw Pippin which is a revival of a 1970's musical. They have jazzed it up with lots of high wire acts (ala Cirque du Soliel), and other circus style acts and costumes. It was very entertaining - not much story, but excellent singing.
After the musical we decided to try one last time to find something at Lincoln Center. However, we didn't have any luck, so decided to just have dinner and go back to the hotel to pack and get ready to leave early, early tomorrow. We went to Patsy's on 74th Street, but it was not as good as the restaurant we remembered from year's ago. Oh, well, things do change.
