Friday Afternoon in Manhattan

Rizzo's

After a quick stop at Rizzo’s (still awesome), we hopped on the subway to Chinatown.

Dr. Jia

Jia was at work and Jes got his eyes checked (and dilated) by Dr. Jia Lao herself.

Luckily the office was just down the street from the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory so I got to have a tasty treat.  Yay!

Afterward we went to MoMA, which was free from 4-8 pm but ridiculously crowded.  That was a bust so we went to 30 Rock for a 360-degree view of NYC.  A ticket to the top of the Rockefeller Center is pretty expensive ($20/person) but it was one of those experiences you’ve gotta have as a tourist.  I saw the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, and Central Park with an unobstructed view (no glass or bars).  Dinner was at Sakagura, which was really yummy.  We were supposed to meet up with Holly and Roy afterward but I was so exhausted from the red-eye and a full day of walking around that I just had to call it a day and head back to Queens.  Beakatude needed to recharge her battery.
