NYC

My friend Sharon had her friend Jen visiting from from Indiana so we all went on Megabus to NYC to see a Broadway show.  After waiting in line at TKTS and finding out that the least expensive Broadway show was still $67 we decided we'd walk to the Cinderella box office and see what they had.

As you can see, we were able to get tickets for $45.  Yes, it was in the nosebleed section, but the theater is small, and we could see just fine!

It was Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella and it was wonderful.  The costume changes were amazing!  Not your "Disney" version of Cinderella, but fantastic none the less!

We walked all over the place.  The M&M store, the Hershey store, FAO Schwarz, the HUGE Apple store (Sharon's Mother Ship), 5th Avenue, and some souvenir stores.  I think we walked Jen's feet off!

Our meals were a mixed bag.  Our lunch at BenAsh Delicatessen wasn't good.  My burger was OK, but Jen and Sharon's turkey sandwiches were really disappointing.  And for the price we paid everything should have been fantastic! Oh the other hand our dinner at Bill's Bar and Burger was great!  But in NYC with so many good places to eat it's too bad we had bad food at all!

We took Amtrak home since we weren't sure we'd be out of a matinee in time to go home on the Megabus.  And besides, we wanted more time in the city.  It worked out well.  We ended up getting back to the Rensselaer train station about 11:20pm, which put us home around midnight.

What a fun day!  Thanks for taking me with you Sharon and Jen!
