We finally got here after a 3:45 min delay in Dallas on Friday. Took a cab to the Manhattan Club instead of the train to save time. I must say that it was totally worth the wait. After having been here for just under 2 days, I can say definitively that I love New York.
Right now I am in the box office line for West Side Story after having got 50% off tickets for Mamma Mia for today's 2 pm Matinee. More in a minute.
Update: Got 10th row center orchestra seats for Wed Matinee for West Side Story. Woo Hoo!!
Yesterday was a bit rainy and dreery. Today, it's fantastic weather. We met with Holly yesterday lunch at Carnegie Deli (don't worry, we still have Katz' Deli on the list of must dos). I had to get my Pastrami fix immediately satiated and since it was so close, it was a no brainer. Had a potato pancake and of course a cheesecake. Ran 10 miles on the tread mill to burn off the excess calories. Then, went down to Little Italy to get my Pizza fix at Lombardis. Mmm, mmm good. I love thin crust pizza with toasty crust. Pepperoni with roasted red pepper pie and tomato mozzerella salad. Got our weekly subway passes and made it back to the MC at around 11:30. Great first day.
Today, we went out and walked around. Started out with a strawberry and banana crepe from one of the weekend broadway vendors. Just finished a sausage and peppers getting ready to go see Mamma Mia. Mom had an apple and strawberry crepe and a chicken gyro.
Decided to skip Jersey Boys and try to see Burn the Floor which is a dance show with Anya and Pasha from "so you think you can dance." It looks like 50% off tickets are readily available for this show.
We will be heading over to the US Open on Tuesday and will probably do mostly night events since those are the daily featured matches.
Can't wait for the rest of the week. More food, more entertainment, more running to burn off the calories.
The Manhattan Club is awesome. Very nice room. 2 bathrooms are a plus. Best location I can possibly imagine. I need to figure out how to get here a lot more often.
I Love New York.
