Call me crazy but New York was never on my list of places that I wanted to visit. I learned how foolish I would have been if I never visited. What a cool city with so much to do and it even has a romantic feel to it all. Due to my lack of NYC knowledge I tried planning a date but it was pretty much overruled. I had no objection once I heard the better plans. I flew in to New York in the morning and got into town around 6 o’clock and with no down time I got on the subway and headed to Jane’s place.

When I got to her place she had clue cards that said what we would be doing on our date. Our first activity was to head over to M&M World. M&M World was very cool but the best part of it was that it was just a great excuse to walk around time square. While I was there I was happy to be spending time with Jane but sad to know that there is so much more there to explore with her than I was going to have time for. Every direction you looked was something interesting to see or do.

The next clue directed us to the top of the Rock. For people like me that means the top of the Rockafeller Center. You know the place where New York has the outside skating and puts up the big Christmas Tree. We took a tour up to the top of the Rock and were greeted by a worker that told us how lucky we were because the sky had just completely cleared up and there was no one else up there. It was freezing at the top but it was just to romantic to pass up a good opportunity to lay one on her. Which was good cause it warmed us up for a little bit.

Next we went to a Mexican restaurant called Rosa Mexicano. It was really good Mexican food, especially their guacamole. After the food we went out and walked over to the opera and just kinda walked around. Once again no one was there and it is usually packed with people. We even snuck inside the opera building to look inside. After we left we saw the temple and I learned how the Prophet was inspired to buy the land a long time ago when the area there was ghetto. He received a lot of criticism for it but years later the land became prime real estate of New York. I love having inspired church leaders.

Back to the date. It was a really romantic time with Jane. We just click really easily. We joke around the same and life is just good when I am with her. Now add on top of that the romance of New York and I had a perfect date. I might just have to return to the concrete jungle where dreams are made of!
