00:00I think I'm wearing purple cream. So, hi.
00:12I just woke up. I don't know where Michael went. Let's go see.
00:25Hi. We made almond milk ice cubes yesterday.
00:36Turned out well. They actually look pretty good. You gonna put them in your coffee?
00:42I wasn't planning to, but I guess I can. We're on our way to the gym. It's a new gym
00:48I've
00:48never been to because our old gym closed for construction, so they moved us to this gym.
00:54Just going for a quick workout. Michael has been. How's the gym?
00:57It's good. He's got everything we need. Everything?
01:01Literally every single thing. Okay. Am I gonna have fun?
01:04We're gonna have a blast. Because I'm really hungry.
01:06I'm working on my handstands and I'm getting better, but I'm still only able to do it against a wall.
01:12I can't just do it in the middle of the room, but that is my 2018 goal.
01:18I want to be able to walk into this position and then just kick up slowly into a handstand like
01:30this.
01:35I can't do it. One, two, three.
01:43You can't go to the fence. We're done. Time for pancakes.
01:50So Michael and I have lived in New York City for four years. Three to four years.
01:56Yeah. And even though we live here, I feel like we've never done the real touristy holiday things that happen
02:03around the holiday times.
02:06Things like ice skating at Bryant Park or looking at the Rockefeller Christmas tree or going to Chelsea Market.
02:12He actually went to Chelsea Market for the first time last month.
02:16So I think that today we're going to play tourists in New York and see all of the holiday things
02:24that we can do in the city.
02:26Time for breakfast. The almond milk ice cubes were left out. They don't look too hot.
02:33It'll be fine. Just iced almond milk.
02:38Yeah, but isn't it going to go bad being in the air?
02:41Nah, we're good.
02:43I don't know about that.
02:45We need one and two thirds cups of mix to one and a half cups of water.
02:52All right, that's one.
02:55It's not what you use to measure solid stuff.
02:59What?
03:02We just talked about this.
03:03Michael said this is not what you use to measure solid stuff.
03:08This is just liquids?
03:10Yeah.
03:10Oh.
03:14Got it.
03:15I'm going to be honest with you. I just transferred the contents into the solids bucket.
03:21And it looks about the same to me. What do you think?
03:23I agree.
03:24So what do you have to say for yourself?
03:26It was a test.
03:28It was a test.
03:29All right, Mike. So now we add one and a half cups of water to this.
03:32If you want to go ahead and use the liquid measure.
03:36Okay.
03:37That's it.
03:47We believe Michael might have made a couple of them a little too thick.
03:52Notice how he filled up that snowman about halfway.
03:57Off we go.
04:02All right.
04:03So it's kind of more like a Christmas tree.
04:04Not bad.
04:07But it could be better.
04:08This is how they came out.
04:11Honestly, they taste pretty good, but they look weird.
04:15This one's the closest to the actual shape.
04:17It was a little too thick.
04:18Yeah.
04:18This is Frosty the Snowman.
04:20Not bad.
04:21But from now on, we're just going circles.
04:25Seems like the safest bet for a lot of reasons.
04:30We're on the way to Bryant Park.
04:33First stop to the Christmas markets and the ice skating rink that Michael's never been to before.
04:40I've walked past but never actually been into it.
04:43Yes.
04:43I'm truly a tourist.
04:44Truly tourist central right now.
04:47Oh look, Mike.
04:48We're here and we're going to Bryant Park.
04:55All right.
04:56We're going the right way.
05:03We made it and it's a Christmas wonderland in here.
05:09Check it out.
05:11Winter Village.
05:24It looks like there's not that long of a line.
05:28So I have a feeling we're going to get our wristbands, get on the ice rink and not have
05:32to wait.
05:33Which is so exciting.
05:34We could fall right away.
05:35We might fall.
05:36But I've heard a lot of people have to wait and there's no line.
05:40So this is great news.
05:52All right.
05:53We're on.
05:54Do you want to take a bath?
05:56Yeah.
06:06Oh no.
06:08I'm not allowed to do this.
06:10Not enough.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Oh man.
06:12So that was really fun.
06:13We got in trouble two times for having this camera on the ice.
06:17Which is probably smart.
06:19Overall it was fun and now we are on our way to eat some Italian food for lunch before we
06:25go to Rockefeller Center and see the big Christmas tree.
06:38We are about to round the corner.
06:43The tree should be right there.
06:47And...
06:53How does it feel to have made it to the tree?
06:56Feels good.
06:57Feels good.
06:57You know, I've worked all my life for this and all my hard work has paid off.
07:02You think?
07:02I think so.
07:03I think so.
07:04It's a little emotional but I'm keeping it together.
07:10Cool.
07:13Let's check out the rink.
07:14This is actually probably the nicest rink in the city I'd say.
07:20So this one is lifted up and there's a nice gold fountain.
07:28You can see all the people around it.
07:32Just left the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas tree.
07:35One of the biggest Christmas trees in the world.
07:38I think.
07:39And now we are on our way to stop three of our New York City holiday tour which is...
07:45Chelsea Market.
07:47We just got a text.
07:49We are officially going over to my friend Lauren's house for dinner.
07:53We've never been before but she and her fiance, Stan, recently got engaged.
08:00So the four of us are going to have a little double date.
08:03She's cooking us dinner and she just texted me that the entire meal is gluten free and vegan.
08:10Lots of plant based protein coming our way.
08:37We're here.
08:39We're here.
08:40We're here.
08:55We took an entire walk through Chelsea Market and we forgot to get a cookie, so we're going
09:01back.
09:02We found one.
09:03We got it.
09:05Chocolate chips, heated up, all warmed up.
09:12Oh yeah.
09:14We're trying to pick out a present to bring Magenta and Stan.
09:18He's Jewish and she's half Jewish, maybe the star.
09:22This is like holiday chocolates, but with Jewish holiday colors.
09:28That's right.
09:29I think this is the one.
09:30We've decided to go half Jewish colors, half Christmas colors, so we're going to get
09:37one of these treats.
09:38And we out.
09:40Got our bag to take over to Lauren's house tonight, and now we're off to our apartment
09:47to rest.
09:54The day's not even over.
09:57We're packing up a little picnic bag to bring to Lauren and Stan's.
10:02So far we've got this salami that we want to share with them.
10:08These little brownie bites that we made last night so that we can have them for dessert.
10:14We've got this garlic hot sauce that I'm donating to Lauren because I know she's going to like it.
10:23And then here's the chocolates we got at Chelsea Market.
10:27The little tree.
10:30And we are also bringing over a bottle of white wine.
10:35Just, you know, because we're adults.
10:39And now we are on the way to Queens.
10:42It's really hard to vlog in the rain, but we just left for Lauren's and it's raining.
10:46We're vlogging in the rain.
10:49It's just way too hard to vlog in the rain, so I'm going to have to shut you off.
10:54Hello.
10:55I have roasted vegetables.
10:58Hey Stan.
10:59Hi.
10:59So welcome to our gluten-free vegan dinner.
11:04Ooh.
11:05I made from my own brain, from scratch, a vegan chili.
11:10She like figured it out and decided that this is what it'll taste like on the subway.
11:14Yeah.
11:15Wow.
11:15Isn't that so fun?
11:16So it's filled with quinoa, lentils, carrots, jalapenos, garlic, onion, mushroom, kale.
11:25Oh my gosh.
11:27Sriracha is the secret ingredient.
11:29Don't worry.
11:30It's just little.
11:30Oh my God.
11:30Wait, is that glue?
11:31Right?
11:31I'm sure.
11:32Okay.
11:32Great.
11:33And then that's it.
11:34Vegetable broth.
11:35So there's no dairy and no meat.
11:38And this amazing garlic bread.
11:41Wait, I have band-aids on all my hands.
11:44You only have two, so.
11:46Only two hands.
11:47Two band-aids.
11:48Hey guys.
11:48I'm going to tell you.
11:49We're all together and we're playing Settlers of Catan.
11:54Has anyone ever played this game before?
11:56Because I just learned the rules.
11:59It is the actual rules.
12:00Have you learned the rules?
12:01I've been told the rules and I'm still a little confused.
12:05But I have all my houses and settlements.
12:07I have logs.
12:09Sorry, roads.
12:10Houses and settlements.
12:11And we have Sour Patch Kids.
12:13It seems like a trade will not work.
12:15Michael and Lucy are literally fighting.
12:18It's been great knowing you, but I do not work the game of Catan.
12:22We will say I'm trying to settle.
12:24We'll just come together for Settlers of Catan.
12:27The kid wants to give me a sheep in exchange for my wood.
12:31The problem is I'm good with sheep.
12:33Is she a good Settler of Catan?
12:36She's very frustrating.
12:37Can I just say, this is important.
12:38This is a good call by Lucy because her wood is blocked and she can't even collect wood right now.
12:42So she can't be trading that away.
12:44Can't be trading my wood.
12:44Stan's being too logical.
12:46It's 1248 AM.
12:48Who won Settlers of Catan?
12:51Stan won.
12:52Congrats on your big win.
12:54This means a lot.
12:55I would like to make an acceptance speech.
12:56Is this a good time?
12:57This is a good time.
12:57I would like to thank my mother because if she hadn't given birth to me, I wouldn't be
13:00here in this moment to have this huge accomplishment under my belt.
13:06I also have to say guys, I was straight up the village idiot the entire time.
13:11She was not.
13:12I was just the village idiot because I was new to the game and I just didn't understand
13:15yet.
13:16But I think next time, they're going down.
