Hump Day in NYC

On Wednesday we went to a Brain exhibit at the Natural History Museum. Being a Neuroscience major, i know just about everything you need to know for a basic understanding of the workings of the noggin. However, it was interesting to read in a non-textbook format. Unfortunately, the school groups came in about a half hour after we got there and I felt like I was back in middle school. A group of boys was informing their "leader" who was flirting with his girl. Paha-come on boys, get a life and find your own woman. 

After the brain exhibit we hit up a deli near Times Square which was obviously good from the long line snaking down the counter. Then we hit up a Matinee of Memphis where I sat next to a SNORING and HUGE man. He obviously wasn't there for the show because as soon as the lights went out his freight train left the station. Not only do I hate snoring, but in a theater-rude! The two women in front of me suggested I punch him...but uh, yeah my size and brute strength just didn't really match up to this guy. However, the show was great and a good story.

Next we went shopping down 5th avenue on the way to a mystical knitting store in the clouds my mom was determined to find (only like 30 blocks from our original starting point...ugh). However-we did find some great stuff along the way. I got a dress for graduation at Lord & Taylor...but I can't show pics cuz that would ruin any future postings about graduation :-)
   Surprise surprise-food time again! We headed back to Eataly for dinner where I treated my mom to wine and Gnocchi in the Vegetarian restaurant (don't worry-we're not vegetarians, they just had the shortest line!).

That night we got home and were in hopes of heading out to Barnes and Noble for some internet access. But THEN the neighbor heard us heading out late and caught us and gave us his internet password. Thank goodness!
