Visiting New York City – Day 1

2 Comments

New York tip #1 – Bring comfortable shoes!

We walked almost 10k today before 4pm!  I know….crazy!  So far we’ve gone to FAO Schwartz, Tiffany’s, Rockefeller Center, Top of the Rock, the TKTS booth.  We’ve done LOTS of people watching & walked, walked, walked.  Now we’re having a rest before going out to a dinner & a Broadway show.  We’re seeing “Memphis”.  We were on the fence because there were so many great options.  One of the security guards at the TKTS line told everyone to go see Memphis.  He was so emphatic about it that I decided that was what we should see (since Nana made me choose!).  It was sooooo awesome!  It’s the best Broadway show I have ever seen (I’ve seen 4 on Broadway) hands down.  We’re going to go back tomorrow to thank him for the great recommendation.

Well, it’s the end of the day & it seems like we’ve been here a week already.  Tomorrow we have our big city tour so it should be fun though possibly tiring.  Hopefully I’ll have more pictures to post tomorrow.

Times Square – We were in the TKTS line @ this point
Times Square – Still in TKTS line.  It only took us 1 1/2 hours to get tickets.  We saved 50% by standing in line.  So we saved about $130.  I think it’s worth it.  The people watching was very entertaining so the time flew by.

Looks like so much FUN! Thanks for sharing your pictures!

One day I'll go to New York. Like Marilyn said, I'll just live vicariously through your blog for now. :)
