...mind-boggling output. Now, in one show, we have the title song, "You're the Top," "It's DeLovely," "Friendship," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Blow, Gabriel, Blow," "Take Me Back to Manhattan," and lesser known though equally delightful gems like, "Let's Misbehave," and "Heaven Hop."

When you get out of the cab, you may want a more sedate break, so walk down to the circle at the Southeast end of Central Park, (59th and Fifth), and hop in a horsedrawn buggy. The ride is very romantic, and it is one of the only remnants of old New York that is still around. While you're there, hop across the street to F.A.O. Schwarz, the world-famous toy store.
