Well, I made it to NYC, yeah. My flights were fine and I took an airport shuttle to my guest house (Efuru guest house
http://www.efuru-nyc.com/) and I had dinner at a really nice restaurant called Native (the soup was fantastic) They don't have a website, but here's what other people are saying about them:

Tomorrow I'm going to spend some time at the New York Public Library, Grand Central station, and probably hit some interesting bookstores.
There's a subway station not far away and so far so good. Things are excellent. I Heart NY
