New York, New York! Day 5: The Guggenheim and "The Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway.

3 June 2014

Day 5 was quieter, we went to The Guggenheim Museum which was impressive. I was more intrigued by the unusual architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright than the Italian Futurism art exhibition inside but that was very interesting too! By the time we had finished there it was time for lunch. We wandered for a while, not seeming to come across anywhere at all to eat in the area, then a nice man stopped us (we obviously looked like confused tourists) and he told us about a lovely place just down the street. We were thankful and so very very hungry. After lunch we went to Times Square to buy tickets for a Broadway show. We got them for Phantom of the Opera that night. We didn't have enough time before the show to go far so we went to Madame Tussauds in Times Square as it was included in our NYPass. It wasn't very good but it filled the time.

When we got to the theatre we were surprised at how good our seats were, we were in the stalls, pretty close to the front and the show was great!

Once we got back to our apartment we went to the roof of our building. There was a really great view of Manhattan from there which was a nice surprise!

One more to go!
