Wow...after my last travel experience to Iceland with cancelled flights, and lost luggage - our travel day today was perfect!! All flights on time, short lineups, and our luggage arrived with us! Maybe the travel gods felt sorry for me?
Arrived at our hotel, threw our bags in our rooms, and heading out to explore. Our hotel is just down the street from the Ed Sullivan theatre - home of the the Late Show with David Letterman. I love Dave...have watched him since the 80s. I was hoping to get tickets to his show, but he isn't taping tomorrow or Friday. We walked by the theatre...then noticed some activity on the street. It turned out that they were blocking off the street so Dave could play tennis with Serena Williams! OMG...we got front row standing view of the event! They "played tennis" for a few minutes, then served a few balls into the Hello Deli window until it broke...lol. The show airs tomorrow, so watch it, and look for us in the front row of the crowd. Dave hit me with a tennis ball....my life is now complete :)
Walked down to Times Square to sight see, people watch and find a restaurant. Soooo busy...wall to wall people - have to get used to pushing through crowds. Lots of lights, noise and bustle! Bought some tickets for a comedy club, and a city pass for the Hop On-Hop Off bus for 3 days. Had a nice supper...some wine (finally) and shopped at some street kiosks. Got a plastic cover for my ipad, so if I drop it (again) it should bounce instead of dent.
Capped off the night with a glass of wine in our room (of course) - can't wait for day 2!
