The City That Never Sleeps
I am, as I type this, sitting in our room at the Hotel Pennsylvania. We AmTraked it from C'peper to NYC today, leaving around 9:45am and arriving around 3:30pm.
After checking in, we headed out to explore the city. We're only a block from Macy's, so we cruised around there. Then we walked down to Time Square. Had pizza (NY pizza--YUM) in a little hole-in-the-wall pizzeria (it was de-lish). We found and walked past the Lunt-Fontaine Theatre, which is where the show is tomorrow, and we made reservations at Sophia's for dinner prior to the show. And we stopped in the big Hershey store. Both Macy's and Hershey's are decked out for Christmas.
Lots of walking, LOTS of people. Ya gotta stay in physical contact with your companion, or you'll lose sight of each other really quickly. Lots of walking against the signals, and for a city where "no one" drives cars, there are a freakin' lot of cars. And car horns.
It's really kind of overwhelming. Almost sensory overload. It's pretty exciting.
