The late night before combined with the
extremely comfortable bed at
The New York Hilton caused us to sleep our day away and
we didn’t get out of bed till 1pm. Today my heart was set
on one thing and one thing only
Ice skating in Rockefeller center. James had never been ice skating before and I could tell he was hesitant but there was nothing about to stop me
I even threatened to go by myself. For the last four years I have gone
ice skating at Rockefeller Center during Christmas when the big tree was lit and I wasn’t about to miss it this time around. We stopped and got Gyros on the way and ate them in line as we awaited the next skating session. We waited about 30 min and then we entered the rink, rented our skates and got out there. Of course it was crowded but that didn’t stop us from having the time of our lives.
James caught on really quickly to skating and at the end of the day ironically he was the one that wasn’t ready to leave. We skated for two hours and took multiple pictures by the beautifully lit up tree. During our skating session there were two marriage proposals. It was so amazing to be a part of and everyone there was aweing and ohhing it was a great experience and I can’t wait to go back again next year.
Morrelle Wine Bar
Another tradition I have when
I visit New York is going to the
wine bar across the street from Rockafeller Center after or before ice skating to enjoy a nice glass of wine and some yummy appetizers.
Morrelle Wine Bar is a
quaint little restaurant located directly across the street from the rink and features a variety of wine as well as great appetizers and entrees. After ice skating I was freezing and could not wait to go inside the restaurant unfortunately it was far too crowded and we didn’t have much time so we decided to go next door to the
Morrelle wine shop. It was amazing how many bottles of wine could fit into such a small space, but the selection was vast and we found just what we were looking for. James ended up getting a bottle of
Spanish Red Wine and I got a bottle of
Spanish white wine. I was sold on the wine as soon as the merchant told me the wine was very lemony and had a
taste like lemon and olive oil blended together, he may of thought he was warning me about the wine but it sounded just perfect to me. We packed up our bottles and headed back to
The Hilton New York to cork one open.
The NBC Experience Store
Our next stop was the
NBC Experience Store located outside of
Rockefeller Center. Growing up in Burbank I thought I was immune to all the studio touristy consumer items but boy was I wrong. Immediately upon walking into the store our eyes turned to the huge display of
The Office memorabilia. The Office is by far our favorite show to watch perhaps that’s because its pretty much the only show we can agree upon, nonetheless its hilarious.
The NBC Experience Store had everything you could think of from
The Office we ended up buying an actual
Dundee Award, a Dwight bobble head, funny magnets for our fridge, a Dunder Miflin hat and all kinds of other funny gimics and gadgets from the show. We also got our first mini towel that you put in water and it expands to a full size washcloth. The store pretty much had everything you could imagine and more.
