TOYS 'R' US




Hey again!! I hope everyone is enjoying my blog for whoever is reading it, but I don't know about anyone else who is reading this but everyone once in a while I like to bring out the kid in me! People like to have fun and joke around and there is nothing wrong with wanting a blast from the past and enjoy that kid experience again.



front of Toys 'R' Us in Times Square



In New York City, there is the biggest Toys 'R' Us around located there. It is right in the middle of Times Square where everyone will go and mingle and want to take pictures. It's a great place to have a great time with friends and family and whoever you choose to go with. It is a really memorable spot and one of my favorite places to go. Whenever I go to the city I know and will have to go there. It is also beautiful at night when all of the lights are going and all of the billboards are lite up!



The Toys 'R' Us is three stories and there is everything that you can think of in there! No matter what kind of toy you are looking at you will always find it. There is an endless amount a Lego's, a huge T-Rex figure that moves its head, and one giant Ferris wheel inside that you can ride in any character that you want. There is also a whole entire video games section that is most of the bottom floor and so much to choose from.

My favorite part of Toys 'R' Us is the Candy land part. I have such a sweet tooth so every time I go to Toys 'R' Us I have to stop there and get some kind of candy. My favorite is anything chocolate or anything covered in chocolate!


There is one famous part that no matter if you like it or not every girl must go and take a picture and that is...Barbie's House! There is a whole entire Barbie section and there is Barbi's house there you can go in and there are all different kinds of collectible Barbies and you can go up the stairs and in the window have someone take a picture from down below because underneath the window is a huge Barbie sign that will be in the picture.

FRANK restaurant

In my last post I had talked about a wax museum. Today I will be talking about a restaurant that I really love to go to with my mom. Its a really small restaurant, but the food it amazing. It has been there for many, many years and it is a pretty popular place to eat. When you are looking for an inexpensive place to go and eat with your favorite people, I would suggest a place called FRANK restaurant.

There is a lot of history at this restaurant and my mom tells me about it everything it gets mentioned, or we go past it, or even if we are sitting and eating there ourselves. I have gone there many times with just me and my mom, I have gone with family, and I have also gone with a few of my friends.

It is a very Italian restaurant and has an assortment of mines and they serve family style platters. There is so much to choose from such as appetizers, salads, pastas, entrees and desserts. Everything that I have eaten there is so delicious and I love to go back time and time again. They are also not very pricey which makes everyone happier.
If you are ever looking to check out this restaurant you can find it at:
88 2nd Ave
New York, NY 10003
telephone: (212) 420-0202
FRANK restaurant also has a website if you are ever looking for more information and more about their history and such

Madame Tussaud

In my other posts I have been talking about cheaper things to do in New York City. Even tho there are a lot of people out there that want to save money there are also some things that you can save up money for.

There is a six floor wax museum called the Madame Tussaud's New York Wax Museum. You can go and get tickets that aren't too pricey, but it is something that you would want to do with friends and family. The tickets rage from about thirty to forty dollars for individual tickets, but they also have group packages. There are also all access passes that you can get and it includes a Cinema 4-D showing, Behind the Scenes - Making of a Wax Figure, and The Story - Madame Marie Tussauds. Those tickets are a little more expensive.

It is a fun time to have and you can take picture and also read up on all of these celebraties and atheltes. The six different floors all have different names for each kind of people such as the first floor which is called the Open Night Party to the last floor which is called It Happened in New York. There are all different type of celebritites on each floor and there are so many around.

If you can't meet your favorite actor, actress, band, singer, or athlete you sure can here at the museum. The wax figures are made so well and they look exactly like the real thing. Each one is so intricate and there is also one floor that you can also see how they make the wax figures and the process of creating them as you're on your way to the top.
