Wake up, It's a beautiful morning.....

Day two in New York city, wake up at 08.30 (killer, although it is 1.30pm our time!) and all 3 of us drag ourselves out of bed in an attempt to be downstairs and ready for 10am, heading to the FIT! I've been before but not to see these particular exhibitions. Lots of very sleepy FCP/FMB girls all pile into the lobby downstairs to find an array of muffins (good call!) and tea/coffee, so we stock up and head out, it's literally freezing and we make our first starbucks stop on the way....hello skinny mocha....mmmmm.
Inside the FIT we split into two and got to look at 2 different exhibitions; Day & Night and American Beauty. Both were beautiful, really old garments had been preserved for hundreds of years. Spent about an hour looking at the exhibiions, and then headed down the road to madison square gardens to try and get knicks tickets for tonight! Unfortunately it wasn't an option.... $60 per ticket and the seats weren't together, so we thought we'd give it a miss.
The next part of the day was spent in midtown, Forever 21, Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch and 5th avenue were some of the main stops! We got a few look books and took photos, but by about 5pm me and Lucy were flagging majorly! We found ourselves just next to the Plaza, outside central park, and in on a spontaneous decision ended up in two horse and carts touring the park. Pretty, but for someone with a fear of horses I wouldn't do it again! decided it was time for dinner, so me, lucy, carrie, hannah, julia and josh got taxis to times square and ate at Dave & Busters, on west 42nd between 7/8th. Cheeseburgers all round?

Back at the hotel after a long day of shopping and being tourists, so catching up with Becca and Jen about their days and getting ready for bed. Tomorrow is definately going to involve more shopping so I need sleep to restore my energy! More updates tomorrow.
