Cheryl and I ventured out into the city on Saturday, which we were planning on doing all week. On the ferry ride over, we decided to just wander through Central Park, and later enter a Broadway lottery for Matilda the musical, two things Cheryl hadn’t done yet. We walked around Central Park for about three hours, going the furthest up and back we could in that time.

We lost the lottery. That was sad, of course, and Cheryl still hasn’t seen a Broadway show (this weekend, hopefully.) But we decided to do cross another thing off of our NYC bucket list: Junior’s. People talk about Junior’s constantly, it’s the typical tourist spot. And it’s right across from the Shubert Theatre, so the second we saw it, we both said we were hungry.

Junior’s is famous for its hot chocolate and cheesecake, so can you guess what we ordered for dessert? Hot chocolate and cheesecake.

Look at all that whipped cream.

Are tourists’ hunger in New York City affected by how famous a restaurant is? There are probably thousands of restaurants in the city, but Junior’s is popular, Cheryl and I were hungry, and it was cold. In the end, it was an AMAZING choice, but it made me wonder why we made that choice. Were we actually hungry, or did we just want to live out the tourist dream?
