Tuesday was my dad's last day in the city before he flew back to the real world (bummer). We headed down to Ground Zero in the morning to check it out. It was a pretty sad sight, but the construction is coming along for a new monument which is supposedly going to look something like this:
We also went into the church across the street where a lot of the workers slept between their shifts during the immediate aftermath.
Mom and I had tickets for Martha Stewart afterwards. She was pretty psyched about seeing her favorite craft -anista in person.

I was along for the free stuff (a Home Depot gift card-woohoo and a plant which looks pretty pukey next to the one my mom got, but oh well) and the cupcake!. This cute girl we sat next to recommended a cupcake bakery down the street that we should try called Billy' Bakery. I have to say, they weren't nearly as good as cupcake station in Ann Arbor, but still pretty good--
Next we got back to Times Square and got tickets for the 8pm showing of Jersey Boys. My parents had already seen this in Vegas (dad was gone by now--he didn't stick around for Martha) but I really wanted to see it. We had a few hours to kill so we hit up my pick-a thai restaurant just off of Times Squares, Prongsai Thai. It was excellent-per the usual for the food in NYC thus far. Then we walked over to Jersey Boys and it was definitely my favorite show of the whole week. Here's one of the songs from the show-who doesn't love a little Four Seasons?
Afterwards we made an exciting (hah) trip to the Food Emporium for b-fast food and then home again.
