So the last post covered a short period over a long post. I’m going to try to do the opposite this time.

Recovering from the first day, spent whole day in room sleeping and finally woke up and ordered some terrific indian delivery.

This morning (afternoon) when we went out, we visited the Lower East Side/East Village for what pretty much all reviews call the city’s best smoked salmon at Russ and Daughters.

Had tickets for tonight’s show of Evil Dead: The Musical, so we went to Kmart to get some cheap clothes as we had second row center seats in the “splatter zone” If you’re not sure what that means, we’ll tell you later. Read the rest of this entry »

We haven’t seen Jack Bauer yet, but it’s felt like a season-long adventure. There’s just so much to take in all at once. We’ve seen so much culture and diversity in a short period of time, it’s almost overwhelming.

Our flight was delayed an hour because of weather conditions at LGA. Weather conditions between ATL and there weren’t so hot either. Haven’t felt that much turbulence since Brad left Jen for that chick from Hackers. Finally made it to the city, but we have a 30 minute delay before we landed. And we land. And we have another 20 minute delay before the gate is open.

By the time we get our luggage and get out the door, we figure we’ll just hail a cab and head to the hotel. Not quite. There’s a taxi stand so we head toward the light. We then realize the line of people beside us weren’t just waiting. They were waiting for the same taxi stand. Another 30 minutes. We finally deciphered the address for the taxi driver, and were on our way.

The taxi ride wasn’t as exciting as hoped - riding with Adam is more of a thrill ride, honestly. We arrived at the hotel without event, just a little traffic and rain (are you sure we’re not still in Atlanta?) Read the rest of this entry »

We’re going to be spending two glorious weeks in the fashion, culture, and pretty-much-everything-else capital of the US. (In case that wasn’t clear, we’re heading to New York City.)

As we’ll be there over Thanksgiving, we’ll try to wave at everyone from the parade. Yeah, we get up that early. To stand in the cold. For several hours.

Adam’s never been and I’ve never been outside a group, so it should be both interesting and exciting for both of us. And in the middle of November, probably pretty chilly as well.

We’ll be staying at two different boutique hotels while we’re there, situated in different areas of Manhattan to get as much of the full experience as possible.
