Mangia, Mary, and Margaritas!

Dinner at Mangia

Kobi and I with the Mary Poppins poster outside the theatre (minus the "Mary Poppins" title!)


After all the wonderful sightseeing of New York City, we continued onto the hotel so we could get ready in time for dinner and the Mary Poppins show.  We hopped on the subway back to 50th street (as seen in a photo below) (which WAS our stop to our hotel) and we got off and were REALLY tuned around! We could not get our barrings as to where our hotel was. So we IPhoned our hotel and got the address. While standing at 50th street, we found out our hotel was located on 36th street- .......OH NO!   "Start walking everyone-"- it is now, 5pm on a Saturday evening, there is no way we will get a cab- while walking, and trying to hail a cab- we kept walking (reminder, from 50th st to 36th st!) when we get to the hotel on 36th st. it wasn't ours!!!!!  There were several in Time Square and the one we were staying in was located on 46th!!!!!  Only 4 blocks from where we had got off the subway! Oh My Gosh! (is what we're all thinking, but Wilma REALLY wanted to kill us! LOL, sorry Wilma!)- so again, NO CAB anywhere!- and we walk from 36th st. to 46th st.- except to figure out there was no way we'd make our dinner reservation at 6pm (which it was located at 45th st)- So we decide there is not enough time to "freshen up" so we go to the restaurant sweaty and dirty! We made it there with 3 minutes to spare, and we literally locked ourselves in the bathroom, and "bathed" (washed our feet, hands) and brushed our hair- then came out feeling MUCH BETTER! ;)

McClain met us for dinner at Mangia (the Italian restaurant with good looking male waiters that randomly breakout into song!)- We ordered Margarita PIZZA (the BEST pizza I tried in NYC). There were many birthday's and bachelorette parties and they would do some really funny stuff with the girls- I requested a song for "a girls trip" and they played "girls just want to have fun!"  Perfect end to a perfect dinner!!!

Then it was off to "17 Cherry Tree Lane" where Mary Poppins nannied!  This was the best show!  So Magical! Awesome Awesome!
