Saturday Day 26

I held off on my run because Jimmy and Leighann wanted to walk the park...I took them up to the fountain and then to Belevedes Castle....thee are such wonderful views from up there. We then headed over to Debbie's to let her son Kevin's dog out. We headed home so they could get showered for their show....It has been extrrmely hot and humid here..So just a few minutes outside and you need a shower. We tried to take the subway to 50th st, but for some reason the stop at 86th was closed....I knew there was also a stop at 79the so we started walking....we got there is few minutes walked down the stairs only to find that it was closed also....The next stop was at 72nd and we were all tired of walking so we hailed a cab. Jimmy actually told the cabbie to step on it....which wasn't really necessary since we weren't late....lol....i dropped them at Promises, Promises at 1:30 and hung out in Times Square for a few hours. At 4:30 I went to pick them up and thought it would be fun to show them how to get autographs....well imagine my surprise to find hardly anyone waiting at the stage door....So we had a great place and sure enough Sean Hayes came right up to us and Leighann got his autograph and I got his photograph and then a few minutes late Kristen Chenoweth came out...It is amazing how incredibly little she is. After getting photos...we walked thru Times Square and they actually bought souveniers...funny since they live in New York..lol..I took them down to Battery Park so they could see the statue and then over to Little Italy...Unfortunately in order to get to our restaurant we need to go on Canal St and go thru Chinatown...which was especially nasty...and smelly yuck...We made it to Puglis's in Little italy and were shown to a table where you eat family style...so we had another family of 4 at our table..The waiter took quite a while to take our drink order which should have been a sign to us of things to come.....they service was not exactly the best...but we were entertained by a man playing the keyboard and singing Italian songs....the whole place was joinging in, waving napkins and signing...so much fun.....I could actually pretend we wer in Italy for moment...but...it took over an hour for us to get our food......so of course they compensated with 2 carafes of wine.........I felt sorry for the family next to us with 2 small kids......but we did enjoy visiting with them...great couple from the upper east side....Once we finished dinner we were off to check out a bakery that was around the corner...and then off to the subway.....for some reasonthe trains were not running properly...which was par for the course this night and they kept sropping in the tunnels...for as long as 15 min at a time...it was taking forever to get home, so at one point we just left the station and took a cab home....long day....good night !! til tomorrow!! :)
