Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens get mobbed by fans and paparazzi as they arrive at their NYC hotel after flying from Los Angeles on Monday evening. Costar BFF Ashley Tisdale was right behind! Of course, they are all in town to promote High School Musical 3: Senior Year, out Friday.

Tomorrow, Zac will be honored as “Star of the Year” at Us Weekly‘s Hot Hollywood party. Congrats, Zefron!
