Central Park, Curling, Plays & Comedy

We've had more sleep-in/relaxing mornings than other Thanksgiving New York trips

when we've tried to pack so much in. 

So while Dan was in the gym and Chris was doing homework,

I got my bike from storage, bundled up and and rode two laps through Central Park.

We made a trip to Albee baby with Courtney and Michael to try out strollers, car seats 

and all things needed for Baby Girl P!

We decided not to go ice skating this year which was Chris' request,

so his back up idea was eating in an igloo.

We found "The Curling Cafe" at Bryant Park where you can reserve an igloo

and a "curling" track? lane? course? hold please... SHEET!

The food was mediocre, but it was to try something new and to have the sheet to ourselves.

(There were 7 or 8 igloos all with their own curling sheet.)

Afterward we perused the Bryant Park Christmas markets,

Then walked to dinner at a Brazilian restaurant,

where I had the black beans and meat stew I've been craving

ever since Colleen G. brought it at Chris and McKay's joint

mission farewells.

The parents all went to Delia Ephron's autobiographical play,

Left on Tenth with Peter Gallagher and Julianne Marguilles.

It was interesting, but I thought would be more engaging if they acted more of it 

rather than told the story from first person.

The kids went to a late night comedy club.
