The fifth day was quite straightforward and filled with queues... we started off by queuing for tickets to the La Cage aux Folles matinee show at the Times Square TKTS outlet that sells tickets for the day at 50% off. I really wanted to watch this show after reading about it on the Playbill. It didn't take as long as expected and we got the tickets at 1030am for the 2pm show (we started queuing at 930 and they start selling at 10).
Since we have some time to kill but not enough to go anywhere serious... we decided to go to Serendipity 3, we actually attempted this yesterday but the queue was too crazy...but since Serendipity opens at 11, we figured we could get there early and maybe miss the queue... well, we were half right and half wrong... there was a long queue already... but since most of the people left... we only ended up queuing for approx 20 minutes! Well.. Serendipity, filled with jostling people and Tiffany lampshades, was an experience in iconic dining...The food was okay, the frozen hot chocolate was yummy (althou P said it tasted like milo), the menu was interesting...and worth the queue maybe once in a lifetime. I won't go back if I have to queue again...
After the show, we went for dinner at a French restaurant that proves 3 course dining is something you should only do if you have a lot of time to kill...but the crabmeat crepe was delicious...so it was worth the rush we did for our coach back to Boston...which was the worst metro ride we had in our 5 days here... the metro line we wanted apparently didn't exist! And we got on an express line that missed our stop making us have to go back and forth like mice in a tunnel...but we managed to catch a coach just before it left (and thus didn't have to stand outside in the cold waiting), and we made good time home, reaching at the dot of midnight and caught the last T back to home sweet home...ending our eventful 5 days in New York...
