This is acelatherapy in action. Nice seats, extra leg room, foot rests, curtains, and overhead compartments just like on a plane. It even smells good. Oh, and not crowded on this particular Wednesday morning, either. Score!
More bonus points awaited when I checked in to the hotel:
Ohmyluckystarsabove! This was my room. MINE! I felt so grown up and didn't want to leave. Oh my. Super comfy furniture, exquisite details, superior service, and an oh-so-mumfy bed. If you are ever in NYC and need to stay near Times Square, check this place out. You won't want to leave this slice of heaven on earth.
I couldn't resist just one more hotel picture. This leaded glass window was the backdrop for cocktail hour before dinner. Oh, and dinner...YUM!...Branzino "Saltimbocca" and heirloom tomato salad with a bit of chocolate tart and homemade vanilla gelato for dessert. (As I reach for the napkin to wipe away the drool...)
Yes, yes. The business part of the trip included a dinner at the hotel with 20 or so folks. Why not stay there as well? Natch.
My meetings the following morning were canceled so I found myself meandering down 5th Avenue for a while. Well, if you can call a walk from 53rd to 38th in summer heat a "meander."
And then over to the financial district:
I quickly discovered why it's called the financial district. One needs to have SeRiOuS finances to park there!
Some lovin' and snuggles with this little dude were all free, though:
Argh! I was so busy providing some Crazy Aunt Jess love that I forgot to pick up the camera until the end. After a couple hours of hanging with me he was tie-erred! Aw.
Honestly, I was plum tuckered out, too. It had been a long 28 hours and I was anxious to get on the train and head home. Within minutes though I was scheming about how to get back to that hotel. Maybe TWO nights next time!
