The first full day in NY was full of the usual and the unexpected. We saw Spiderman 3 being filmed downtown. No stars in sight but we did get to see the Spidey stand-in suffering in the heat as green screen shots were being worked out. We hoped to see him get lifted up in the crane but that wasn't happening so we moved on.
Later we had a Hugh Jackman possible almost sighting or a fake-out as we walked through Central Park. We walked by a tall white guy and then a couple seconds later some other guy was telling his friends that he just said Hi to Hugh Jackman. By the time we turned around to look, the possible Hugh was gone.
I also did my first geo-cache. We took out the GPS and hunted in Central Park to find a micro cache. I would have never climbed all those rocks and dug in dirt on my hands and knees on my own but we did find the cache and it was really fun! Today we're geo-caching on Roosevelt Island.
The only mis-step of the day was when I decided that we should check out a Martini bar that was done all 40's themed. The place was fun but it was all full of date couples and the drinks were so strong that all you could taste was gin and vodka. Bummer but there were no other options in Chelsea that late at night.
We also made a brief stop at MOMA to check out the temporary exhibits but after spending all day in the sun, art was not high on my list but the a/c was.

What the hell is geo-caching?
ReplyDeleteSo, you were right around the corner from my hotel and you didn't stop by to say hi! We were at the Sheraton New York just down the street from MOMA. All the movie trucks were parked next to the hotel and we were laughing at all the people waiting around to see the "stars"!
