We were up at 8:30, walked around the corner to the deli for breakfast, and were checked out and by the curb at 10:15 for our 10:20 Golden Touch transfer from the hotel to Newark. There was one couple in the van when we got in, and we picked up one other couple up near … Read more
We got up and at ’em at around 10:30 or 11 today. Joe ran to the deli around the corner and got us coffee and a bagel to split, just to jump-start us, as we’d planned to have breakfast when we got to South Street Seaport. The best laid plans… As soon as we got … Read more
We had a lazy morning this morning, not getting up until about noon. This may be the city that doesn’t sleep, but we sure did! After grabbing breakfast at what’s become our favorite deli, just around the corner, we took the train down to South Street Seaport, which is where the “lower Manhattan” TKTS booth … Read more
After grabbing a quick breakfast at the deli around the corner from our hotel, we took the train up to 59th, where we exited up to the street at the entrance to Central Park. Here’s Joe there: There was a lot of hustle and bustle in the park. At the beginning of our walk, an … Read more
I picked up Joe at 7:00, we made our 8:45 flight without incident, and the flight was uneventful. We tried to buy Bloody Mary’s on the plane, but they didn’t serve alcohol before 11:00, and they didn’t have any vodka anyway. We had a playful time with the flight attendant at least. She didn’t look … Read more
We woke up at about 9:30, and passed on the complimentary hotel breakfast, particularly because after we finished our breakfast yesterday, we noticed their 81.5 sanitary rating. We packed up, and checked out between 11 and 11:30, and got on the road, where we hit some gawd-awful bumper-to-bumper-for-no-reason-traffic for about 45 minutes. We stopped at … Read more

We had room service for four this morning. Irene took everyone’s order, and then we all laughed while she sounded like Meg Ryan‘s character in When Harry Met Sally giving the order to room service on the phone. During breakfast, we listened to the first 10 minutes of the Kid Logic episode of TAL, which … Read more
Susan and I got up at about 10:00 feeling much less “sparkley” than we did when we went to bed. Since I had treated for lunch and dinner yesterday, Susan had insisted on treating me to room service this morning. At 10:30, realizing breakfast room service stopped at 11:00, we called in our order. When … Read more
I had a luxurious sleep in this morning, waking up at 11:00, making myself a pot of coffee in the room, and checking in online. I had a late checkout at 1:00, and cabbed it six or so miles down the road to the Adolphus Hotel, where I met my friend Irene‘s sister. We had … Read more
