Day #3 started with brunch at Max Brenner's, a chocolate restaraunt-Lisa and I endulged in waffles and fruit with syrup and chocolate sauce, while Jamie and Em had omlets and toast you could spread chocolate on-not bad. We also had to buy some chocolate to take home. This was definitely one of my favorite spots.
This would be my diet coke, which went un-refilled until the man brought us our check. Therefore his tip was not so great on my bill, a lesson I learned from my mom-if the coke is not flowing, neither is my cash.
Next we took a quick subway ride over to Canal Street, home of the knock-off purses. This subway pic was a typical site, Jamie reading the map to make sure we were going the right way, and the rest of us, well, resting comfortably having complete faith in Jamie-she was a great tour guide!
Canal Street was awesome-kind of reminded me of being in the Philippines-bargaining wtih the asians over purses-I prefer bargaining over the purses rather than actually having the purses. The only downside was I needed Joey and Mar and Rudy (our driver/bodyguards) to carry all of my stuff for me-Jamie, Lisa and Em weren't about to do it for me-even though I offered them a peso :o)
This was a constant thing for me on Canal Street-being on the phone and conversing with my mom and sister over what I ended up getting.
After our buying extravaganza we went back to the hotel to drop off our stuff. This is our combined loot. My bag did end up weighing 15 pounds more on the way home-no big deal. 
A Grey Papaya dog on the way to Central Park-it was a good dog-I think we each had two. 
Ah, Central Park-seriously that place is awesome! Next time I want to go running there. We only saw a small corner of it-Strawberry Fields, the fountain, the relationship bridge (I don't think it's really called that but in all the romantic NYC movies people discuss their relationships on the bridge) and Tavern on the Green. I suggested eating dinner there-but nobody took me up on it.....
After Central Park we took the subway over to Brooklyn for dinner at Grimmaldi's, which was quite the wait, but the pizza was really good-and well, authentic. After that we went to Magnolia Bakery yet again, and then we were inf or the night. Such a fun day!
