On Tuesday, of Jodi and Jordan's trip, I actually didn't take any pictures! (GASP!) However, even though no pictures were taken it was still a great day. For lunch we went to Shake Shack, I LOVE this place. I am never disappointed by their cheese burgers and yummy concretes (really thick shakes), and this time was no different. Jordan really liked it too! So we were doing so well at proving how great NYC really is!
Then we went to the Bodies Exhibit where they have real bodies of people that have been preserved. We were able to see all parts of the body up close and personal in a way that was simply astonishing. To be honest, it was a little creepy, but since I really couldn't comprehend that they were real people I was able to handle it. My favorite part was showing the different stages that a baby goes through since conception to birth. To some it might be disturbing because they were real babies; but to me it was miraculous to see how fast a person is able to develop in only 9 months.
Of course there is a huge controversy about where the exhibit was able to get these bodies, since it was very obvious all the bodies were Asian. Apparently, all the bodies are unclaimed and from the Chinese police; however, not much is known more about them. Of course there is speculation that the bodies are prisoners that were executed by the Chinese government, but this cannot be verified.
After the Bodies Exhibit we went shopping at Century 21 and walked around Ground Zero. And this is about all we could take...we were already pooped and wanted to go home and rest before we went out to dinner.
For dinner we went to one of our favorite places to take peeps from out of town, Milon Indian Restaurant, down in the East Village. This place it always fun to take people since there is nothing like it ANYWHERE! With thousands of lights hanging from the ceiling and shiny paper covering the walls, nothing beats the atmosphere. Jordan really enjoyed it and especially had a great time when they played the birthday song for him (this restaurant does a great job at celebrating birthdays. Every time I go I say it is someones birthday. Jordan was the lucky winner this time).
After dinner we were stuffed but I had to have Jodi and Jordan taste the Cornflake Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookie from MomoFuku Milk Bar. There is nothing like it. I used to think this was the best cookie ever; however, they recently changed how the cookie is made. They used to make them thick and fluffy, now they are flat and thin. I think this really changed the overall goodness of the cookie. I am very very very disappointed. VERY.
I can't believe Jodi and Jordan have only been here 4 days! Time has really flown by.

I have loved reading all these trip posts. You guys had such a perfect New York week, I really think each day was so perfectly planned and fit so many classic, great, "new york" type things. So fun. Makes me want to get out there and do some of these things again myself. And we haven't done the bodies exhibit but I really want to! I love anatomy and physiology and I'm not grossed out by that kind of thing so I would love it. i never thought about where the bodies actually came from though (how horrible is that?), that's crazy there was some mystery surrounding it. I always assumed those people donated their bodies to science or something. Creeeepy.
