ABC7 News was at Macy's in Union Square on Friday as Make-A-Wish surprised Angelo Vicini.

The 15-year-old recently received a kidney transplant.
Angelo thought he was going to get a cooking lesson, but learned instead he was getting his big wish -- a cruise to Italy with his family.
"I'm so thankful for everything," he said. "I know some kids aren't as lucky as me. They don't get their wish to come true. I am just so grateful that i got my wish to come true."
Before the big surprise, Angelo got a quick cookie making lesson by a chef and then learned how to dirty up his apron.
The event took place at Macy's because the retailer raises money for Make-A-Wish. The company granted 50 wishes nationwide on Friday.
