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, Been There: The Louvre

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there.  Paris: The Louvre    So I went to the Louvre last week and I have some thoughts.  It was a nice day and outside, with the famous pyramids and the impressive building, it was a really nice welcome to the landmark. I mean, the whole thing of the Louvre is that it's all nice to look at and it definitely was. I mean, the armed police and street sellers trying to flog their tickets were not so enjoyable, but the rest of it was a lovely introduction to the spectacle.  It's very impressive inside as well, the entrance is like a cave and then there are different passages going to different places and it's really cool.  I will say that it's a little confusing. I had a map, but if you think I can find my way around with or without guidance you are sorely mistaken. I got lost pretty much instantly. I was wandering around statue...

Curly Hair, Been There: Disneyland Paris Summer of Superheroes

If you didn't already know, I live in Paris and I love all things Disney. So, naturally, I have an annual pass and go up there as much as I can. This summer, it's all things Marvel! I went yesterday to check out #StudioHero and review all of the super festivities (get it??) Disneyland Paris: Summer of Superheroes All of the superhero stuff is in the Studios Park, rather than the main park, but it's still really cool. You walk in and the first thing you see, before walking through the studio, is this massive Captain Marvel Statue:  And that's just the start. In the production courtyard, there are three more huge statues, of: The Hulk Black Panther And Iron Man. It's pretty cool to see all of this, and exciting to see your favourite heroes but bigger and better.  The decor isn't the end of the fun though! There's the opportunity to meet three big heroes: Captain Marvel, Captain America, and Spiderman. I met Captains Marve...
