After Buster is finally convinced that his mother won't miss him as much as he thought | After Buster is finally convinced that his mother won't miss him as much as he thought, he decides to go to N.Y.C. with Arthur anyway. While D.W. and her parents go to see the play, Arthur and Buster explore New York City with Bo. First they go to Chinatown, but the car gets towed since Bo was parked illegally. Then they go to El Barrio and meet up with subway break dancers and a sidewalk chalk artist. Then they try to meet Los Viajeros at "The Point", a children's recreation center in the Bronx, but they get lost. They ask some girls if they know the way to "The Point" which they do find, but don't meet up with Los Viajeros because they aren't there. Suddenly, Arthur forgets he was supposed to see "Unicornucopia" with his family, which ends up being a good thing for him because it was a bad play. At the end of the episode, Arthur thanks Buster for a good time. | ||
