Sunday: Tavern on the Green & Central Park

After a late night on Saturday - 2:30am, i think?! We slept in past 10am Sunday morning. We had late brunch reservations at Tavern on the Green at 11:45am. So we dressed, packed and left our bags with the bell desk. We caught a cab to Tavern and took a table in the main dining room. It's such an iconic NYC landmark. We would have eaten in the center courtyard, but it was actually quite warm and sunny. But we had a view of the courtyard with the floral Chinese lanterns and flowers galore.

We started with the crab cake for an appetizer. Andrea had a brie and blue crab quiche with salad. Leigh Ann ordered eggs Benedict. I chose brioche French toast. The French toast would have been a lot better to someone who liked raisins. But the quiche was delicious. And the eggs Benedict were so rich!

We wandered through the Park on our way back to the hotel. I just love Sundays in Central Park. It was an idyllic morning/afternoon. We returned to our hotel, picked up our bags and cabbed it to LaGuardia. Where we picked up the latest entertainment magazines and flew business class back to the ATL.

I can't imagine a more wonderful birthday. It had it all: incredible theatre, fantastic food, and fabulous friends... Happy 30th to me! It's been the best birthday of my life. Thank you - thank you - thank you, Brian! You are the best husband ever!
