So, upon waiting up for the much coveted number my husband and I decided to enjoy New York, and here we found the infinitely famous timesquare. Times square lies at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh avenue, starts from west 42nd street extending up to west 47th street. It said to be the the "Crossroads of the World" and back in time it was known as Longacre Square. It was in April 1904 that it became the Times Square after the Times Building. Also in the said landmark the spectacular colorful New Year's Eve ball drop happens. Expect countless of people from different places coming together to watch this magnificent annual event. Unfortunately though Im already here that time I was not able to join the 2009 welcome because I am not familiar with the New York subway and yes my party pooper husband didn't want to join the said noise. huh!
Enough about the trivial things,first impression? Spectacular! I would never got tired roaming around even just sitting and merely looking at Times Square. It's all hustle and bustle. And the lights! Oh so many lights! Im like a kid finding this big lighted playground. Well we've seen alot of Broadway shows such as Mamma Mia, 9 to 10, Mary Poppins and yes Shrek the Musical (which I would love to see...)
Ripley's believe it or not was also there along side with equally famous house of wax by Madame Tussauds. And yes we get to see Dwayne Johnson in wax! lol

And yes we get to see Dwayne Johnson in wax! lol After an hour we got tired and hungry and what do we see? Its Mc Donalds ala broadway! Not the usual Mc Donalds establishment, it was more likely close to looking like a club. It was featured at Travel Channel once being one of the most famous Ronald Mc Donalds place. It was sorrounded with high ceiling light bulbs with lots of white screen featuring music videoes of known artist. You cant help but to say I'm definitely luvin it ;)
I particularly enjoy the M&M's world! It was alot fun being there. Aside of being practically surrounded by these deliciously colorful melts in your mouth not in your hand chocolate, it offers different collections and stuff in M&M style. I enjoy their what is your M&M mood color machine. Where in you would stand on it and the computer would find out what kind of M&M are you based on your mood and I got the Dark Green (mind you I was not on the Dark mood that time ;p)
All in all it was a wonderful distraction! And I do want to go back there again and again and again...
