Where: A Day in Times Square: Ripley’s Believe It or Not, The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, Masquerade Costume Shop, and dinner at PioPio

Today, we decided to do the tourist thing and spend the afternoon in Times Square. I usually avoid this area like the plague, but we actually had a lot of fun. I was able to score free tickets to Ripley’s, and I must say that place is freakin’ awesome! Robert Ripley collected some seriously weird stuff in his travels (shrunken heads, necklaces made out of mourning widow’s fingertips, and the skeleton of a two-headed lamb) and I ate up every minute of it. I also ate up every last bit of candy in that bag I’m holding in the first pic (courtesy of Ripley’s candy store).
Afterwards, we saw a great play at the 2econd Stage Theater. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, but it wound up being a really great performance. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen on stage before (in a good way).
Overall, hubby and I had a blast. However, I do have one unfortunate event to report…
We had a good hour to kill before the play started and decided to head to the waterfront for a short walk. When we were about a block away, we got caught in a really bad wind tunnel. The glasses I’m wearing in some of my photos got knocked right off my face and skittered halfway down the street. I retrieved them, but now they’re all scratched and dinged up! Phooey! Oh well, at least it wasn’t my Dolce’s…
