Bethenny Show

When my 4:30 alarm went off this morning at first I thought it was a car alarm. After quickly getting ready and hopping on a train, I was headed into the city my mom.

We arrived nice and early on the line for a taping of the Bethenny show! I only received confirmation for the tickets the night before so this was a very last minute trip. My mom was able to take off work to come with me. I bet the boyfriend was glad he didn't have to go with me since it was ALL women ;)

It took us both awhile to wake up. Luckily the weather stopped raining when we were waiting online outside! Lots of girls were celebrating their birthdays there.

Around 8 my hunger started to kick in. I brought along a chocolate peanut butter clif bar for breakfast.

The set was very personal and small compared to other tv show tapings I've been to. Bethenny really encourages and seems to want the audience's input.

America's Got Talent Experience

Troy and I headed into the city yesterday for America's Got Talent which was such a blast!

We hopped on an early train into the city and spotted my friend Kim on there too! Haha. She's in the middle.

To pick up our tickets we had to arrive at Radio City Hall around 3. We didn't have to come back until 7 so this left us plenty of time to eat and explore.

After hailing a cab the boyfriend and I headed to Times Square to venture around M&M world. Of course I was a sucker for all those "exclusive" NYC flavors so I had to buy some. They always know how to draw me in for chocolate haha!

Then it was time to eat! All of that walking made us hungrrrrrry. We decided on Virgil's since we both love BBQ and they have a gluten free menu.

But when we got there I was disappointed that their BBQ sauce is not gluten free. So my idea of eating juicy BBQ ribs quickly diminished. I have to say their salad was ginormous and much better than expected! There were avocado, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and grilled chicken. My favorite part was the bacon. It wasn't just pieces of bacon, but little shunks of it like squares. Tasty!
