Chapter 39: A Classic New York Adventure

The day turns out to be pretty damn awesome.

After Central Park, we visit the Museum of Natural History, Times Square, and then the Rockefeller Center. We ride all the way to the top of the Empire State Building, and when we come down, Alex takes me around the corner to a little bakery that has the most amazing cannolis I've ever tasted in my life. We eat so many that we're both too full for dinner, and even then, I'm wondering how many I might be able to fit in my purse and take back with me.

Even though it's a bit of a walk back to Alex's apartment from here, we decide to skip a cab and enjoy the beautiful evening. A soft summer breeze dances around us, making my dress flutter around my legs as the sun sinks behind the skyscrapers.

When we get to the edge of Central Park again, I stop. "Do you hear that?"

Alex pauses and listens. "They must be having a concert in the park tonight."
