So the internet at the hotel didn't work so well the last couple of days in NYC, so here's a summary of the last three days of the trip. It turned out to be a long post but I hope you read it:)
The day my mother inlaw turned 60 didn't end at Bathtub Gin. Me and Amanda continued to Marie Crisis (http://www.yelp.com/biz/maries-crisis-new-york) . Don't really know how to explain this place. It's a bit rough on the eyes, but if you like broadway and like singing you'll love this place. There is a pianist who plays showtunes and everyone sings. I ended up singing Anthem from the musical Chess. Was so nervous so my heart almost jumped out of my chest. Haven't really sung infront of an audience or anyone who will listen in a while. We stayed there for an hour or so, before we continued to another bar the duplex (http://www.theduplex.com/site/) . Stayed for about an hour there aswell, but it couldn't compare to Marie Crisis. It wasn't a bad bar, a guy by a piano singing was the music for the first floor.
The day after we went to a broadway show, Phantom of the Opera. Not my first choice of musical, but my mother inlaw really wanted to see it because the most famous musical artist from Sweden acted in it. My review of this musical is that the female lead who played Christine ad a beautiful voice, but Peter Jöback the swedish guy couldn't really carry his part. He a very good singer, but not right for the part as the phantom.
Before we went home we also did Top of the Rock. If you are choosing between Top of the Rock or The Empire state to go up in choose Top of the Rock. You get an amazing view of the the empire state and central park.

So the restaurants we visited before heading back home to Sweden were:
Bocca di Bacco
A restaurant close to broadway, not crowded. Good if you haven't booked anything before a show. Good italian food but the concept wasn't anything special.
Todd's Mill
If this restaurant was situated in the UK I would call it a nicer pub. The food was alright nothing special. Very good desserts though.
La Esquina
This restaurant me and Emma visited last time around. It didn't dissapoint this time either, and was the most appreciated restaurant by the rest of thefamily. My favorite was Buddhakan cause I hadn't been there before.

The Strand rooftop bar
If you want a bar with a view over the Empire State this is it. Nice cocktails.
