Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Three)

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the next few weeks I'm going to share all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is going to be a seven part series, a post for each day. Day Three awaits!

Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Three)

Wednesday was possibly the best day, because it was the day I went to Broadway. Okay, I know I went to Broadway on Tuesday, but this time was better because I actually saw a show and it was amazing.

The show wasn't until 2pm, so the day started slow since we had such a busy day on Tuesday. We got a cheeky Dunkin' Donut and I got this insane frozen coffee:
This was a MEDIUM
It was very tasty, but an unmentionable number of calories (it was 900). We headed up towards broadway on the subway and stopped at Rockerfeller Center for some sightseeing.
We saw the nice flags and statue in the plaza:

As well as the Atlas Statue:

And NBC Studios:

And Radio City Music Hall:

And by then it was about time for the show. Buzzing, I headed to the Lyceum theatre and waited patiently (jk I was NOT patient) to be let into the auditorium. My view (pictured at the top) was awesome, and the show was just incredible. 
Being in the balcony, I had a few stairs to walk up, and they had these cool posters of lyrics from the show on each floor:



The show: Oh My God, it was amazing. I've listened to the cast recording many times, but nothing is the same as actually seeing those actors performing in front of you. The main actors, Will Roland; George Salazar; Stephanie Hsu, to name just a few, were unbelievably good. Like, I couldn't get over how much they brought to the roles and how much energy they had. You guys know I love the theatre, and shows, and I've seen many musicals on stage, but this was something else. I loved it. 

Following the show, we went and did some more touristing. Namely, the Nintendo store, which was super cool. Here are some pics:
I got this cute lil Kirby bc he is baby

The checkout counter was cute
It's a Mario





The bag they gave me was pretty cool too
The last thing we did was go get dinner. Being hungry and tired, we just went to TGI on 5th avenue, just round the corner from where we were. Our amazing dinner:
I think am enjoying my chips
Show day was a great day, and it was nice that it was a bit more chill (lol) and relaxed.

My post for Thursday will be up next week, so make sure to follow my socials to keep updated!

Curly Hair, What's in There?: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

One of my favourite series, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, is ending next week. So sad, I know. And the last episode was very dramatic. So, I'm going to explore the events and how I think the series is going to end. If you haven't seen it, the show is the story of Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom), a successful New York lawyer who decides to uproot her life to move to West Covina, California to follow a boy she dated at camp, Josh Chan (Vincent Rodriguez III). She gets a job at a law firm, makes friends and stalks Josh until she finds out he is actually engaged to Valencia (Gabrielle Ruiz), a girl he went to school with. Rebecca ends up going out with Josh's friend Greg (Santino Fontana/Skylar Astin- will explain later), who ends things with her to move and go to business school. Then, the law firm gets bought out and Rebecca gets a new boss, Nathaniel (Scott Michael Foster), who isn't the nicest guy. They have a thing but later split up as well. Eventually Rebecca decides that s...

Curly Hair, What's in There? The Haunting of Hill House

Curly Hair, What's in There?  is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. The Haunting of Hill House  I know, I'm a little bit behind the curve on this one. It's taken me a long time to get around to watching this Netflix original series, but boy was I glad when I did. I like horror and I like drama and this series has it all. It explores some really serious themes while at the same time being exciting and scary. The series is about the Crain family, their experience in the haunted Hill House, named after its first owners, and how it affects them for their whole lives. I have a lot of thoughts and opinions about this show, so be prepared. To keep it as simple as possible, I'm going to talk about my five favourite things about this show. This contains SPOILERS for The Haunting of Hill House 1. Olivia Crain Carla Gugino as Olivia Olivia is the mother of the C...
