With the City of New York.
How can I have gone 40 plus years and never have set foot in that place before yesterday? Seriously...I need to have my head examined. From the instant we came out of the Lincoln Tunnel and began making our way into Manhattan, I was a goner.
I had bought a coupon on Groupon a few weeks ago, that gave us to round-trip tickets to New York on Hunt Valley Motor Coach for $50.00. I wanted to go before Christmas, just because I'd heard that the city is all decked out in holiday cheer this time of year, but Saturday's were excluded from the offer, so I picked a Sunday as our day. We left out of Pikesville at 6:30am and pulled into the city by 10am. The bus had a nice crowd, but wasn't full which was nice. Was a very pleasant ride, and we chatted with a mother and son who made the trip on a regular basis so her son can see his doctor as he has cancer. They were filled with information about the city, what to do, where to go, etc.
We pulled into the corner of 46th & 8th. It was grey and drizzling, but that didn't dampen my mood. We had decided to walk to the MET, and as we rounded the corner into Times Square I was overcome with joy. The lights and the traffic and the people...it was dizzying!
(Lunch break is over - more later...and pictures!)
