Wow. My first remote post from my laptop! I can't believe I managed to do this and was not too lazy. Actually, it was pretty easy.
We made it to New York unscathed. C loved the choo-choos. She still doesn't know there is a choo-choo distinction between a real train and the subway. So that's good.
After we checked in, we just wandered around Times Square for the overstimulation factor. Even on a rainy day it's a mad scene. We went into the Toys R Us (sorry, I don't seem to have a backwards "R" on my keyboard, strange that) in Times Square with the operational ferris wheel. We were sort of regretting that as soon as we got in there. It was scary-busy and if you are the type who avoids malls at the holidays, you might have had a panic attack. We retreated quickly.
Before that I had stopped to get a tea on our way over and this place had a whole convaluted way of making it where they set this whole mixed up brew on top of a container and set a timer. When the times up, they press a button to filter the whole thing and then the guy pours it into your cup. It was so theatrical, but I have to admit that I was impressed. I love this about New York. Even your average place on the corner has to have a gimmick to compete.
We had a really nice dinner at this place in Hell's Kitchen. There was a baby at the table next to us and C enjoyed flirting with him during the dinner. She even ate some stuff.
It's been a nice day and a nice escape. Back with more tomorrow.
