New York - Day 6

We started off the day with continental breakfast in our hotel and then started walking towards Rockefeller Centre! 

We went inside Rockefeller Centre and they had lots of displays and pictures of the famous NBC shows. It is a HUGE building!! 

 Going into the 'NBC Expereince' gift shop was pretty awesome, as they had souvenirs for EVERY show on NBC! 

This is just outside of the NBC studios. 

In the summer this area is a Cafe, but in the winter they turn it into a skating rink! 

That would be SO cool to see!! 

The Cafe area...

Rockefeller Centre...

I'm not exactly sure what Damian is doing here...Praying?! Ha! 

When we were done exploring Rockefeller Centre we headed to Grand Central Station to catch the subway to go to the Mets Baseball game. 

Like everything else in New York, Grand Central Station is GIANT!! 

It was extremely busy! And loud! It was so neat to see it in real life after seeing it on TV and in SO many movies!! 

We arrived at Citi Field on a PACKED subway with lots of eager Mets fans!

Waiting in line to get into Citi Field...

These tiles were on the around all the way around the entrance to Citi Field! You can buy a tile and customize a message or have one dedicated to somebody! It was cool to read a bunch of the tiles! 

Inside Citi Field! Today's Lineup...

Damian had purchased our tickets for the game quite far in advance so we had WONDERFUL seats!! We even had 'In Seat Service' which meant we had our own server during the game! His name was Fred! Ha! 

The starting pitchers...
We really lucked out because these are two of Damian's favourite players!! 

It was a great game and really entertaining!! There were 3 home runs which is always VERY exciting! The Mets won 5-0 so the stadium was pretty pumped about that!! This was also Damian's very first MLB game so that was also super exciting!! ( I had been to 2 MLB games before) 

After the baseball game we were pretty exhausted and I was VERY sun burnt! So we headed back to the hotel for a bit of a rest, got cleaned up for dinner and then planned to head out on the town again! 

But when we walked out the front doors of our hotel, this is what was happening...

And no, this is not some terrible accident scene... although that is exactly what it looks like! They were shooting a movie! Right in front of our hotel. And accidentally, we walked out right into the middle of where they were shooting! Ha! See all those 'normal' looking people standing around?? Well those are extras...and it was at that moment that we became extras as well! Ha ha! It was pppretty crazy!! What was also crazy was that everything posted about the movie on the set and around the area said that they were filming a movie called 'Four Square'. We didn't really think anything of it until we were talking about the movie with one of the guys that works at our hotel, and he informed us that the ACTUAL movie they were filming was the new Ninja Turtle movie coming out in 2014!!! They called is Four Square because that was the location (On Times Square). Apparently they give all MAJOR movies code names so that people don't freak out and form crowds around where they are filming! Well played Paramount, well played!! Had me totally fooled! Ha! I most definitely thought they were filming some lame movie called 'Four Square'! It was SUPER cool to see everything so up close and personal! Although I am ffairly sure they will 'cut' the two confused looking 'extras' out of the movie when they realize we were standing somewhere we were NOT supposed to be! Ha ha!!! 

So after our big movie debut, HA, we went to a little Italian restaurant called Becco in Mid Town. 

It was a delicious meal!! 

My pasta was SO good, and they brought it out and served it to me right onto my plate!! 

After our great meal we walked around Mid Town doing some shopping and sight seeing! Then we went to a lounge called 'Top of the Strand'. The lounge was on top of 'The Strand' hotel. It was such a neat little lounge! They had couches and benches to relax on and have a few drinks! And the view of the city was AMAZING!!

Chilling on the couches with my hubby! 

Cheers! Gotta love enjoying drinks while LAYING on a couch outside!! Ha!

This was the view of the Empire State Building from the 'Top of the Strand'! 

So beautiful!!

We spent a few hours at the lounge and then started our trek back to the hotel for the night! And then I saw THIS!! Nothing like a little Timmy's in NYC!! 

Stay tuned for Day 7!

 Our last FULL day in NYC!!
