It's sooo close I do NOT know why I don't tackle the Big Apple more often. Savanna LOVES all the excitement & she even took a nap in her stroller (those of you who know Savanna know what a feat this is). Next time I would prefer to with friends & do a LOT more shopping :) I am proud to note that our 1st celebrity sighting was by accident & someone worth mentioning, but first I must set the mood...
It was dark, we were hungry & we were lost! We came out of Central Park by way of Tavern on the Green but didn't feel that was the atmosphere we were looking for (nor did we think they'd let in the stroller of crap!) We checked our subway map & consulted NY'ers & started walking...it was FURTHER that we anticipated, but luckily I had my "manny" with us :) He did a G-R-E-A-T job of entertaining Savanna...or was she entertaining him??? We arrived at the intended entry of the "metro" but didn't see it. BUT we did see a mall & mall=food court :) So we headed that way. Crossing Columbus Circle was an adventure in itself, but we were determined! Just as we approached I noticed "lighting flashes" (paparazzi cameras) & a red carpet set-up. I KNEW that something was going on, but what & who?? We had to cross anyway, so I didn't feel like a little kid in a candy store, but just a curious passerby with camera in hand. Right as we approached security stopped traffic-pedestrian too! A black SUV pulls up & guess who emerged...Nicole Kidman! WOW! She's tall & beautiful! Unfortunately, my pictures didn't turn out, but Margo got quite the footage on video! Turns out that we walked right through the NY Film Festival! But we were still hungry, so we continued into the mall...turns out NO food court, but we did find the subway & made our way back to the car. I must say that this was the most interesting trip to the city yet...we literally got Lost in Yonkers on the way home too!

Aren't you the adventurous Mom! But we all know nothing scares or holds you back. Sounds like fun!
Oh--no fair-I want to just hop over to NY for the day! Sounds like you had fun. Nice mood setting-I could totally imagine being there, and i am totally jealous that you saw a big 'A-lister'~my only star sighting was at Copley Square of a WB tv star. You totally win! :-)
