It was harrowing for me, but not for Gary, driving into New York City. I would not suggest it to anyone. Once at our motel, we didn't use it (you have to pay $70 dollars a night just to park it).
One thing I wanted to do was go to the One World Trade Center that honors the 9/11 victims. It is sobering to be at the actual sites and to visual the chaos and loss of that day.
We also went to a Rockettes performance, but to be honest I was so tired that I slept through some of it. That was a new experience for me to fall asleep during a show, as I usually can't fall asleep in bed.
Jennie, the daughter of our friend's the Adairs, treated us to a meal in their very ritzy restaurant in the flat iron district.
The food was amazing, and it was fun to see her family. They live 2 blocks from their restaurant and don't even own a car. There is no where to park if you live in NYC. I asked her how she went grocery shopping and they order all the groceries through a service. If they need to get somewhere in a car they order a car service that you can rent by the hour. There rent is $9,000 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment. It is hard to fathom all that, but it is the norm if you live in New York City.

I love NYC, but I cannot believe that Gary actually drove in the city. That is something Greg and I said we would never do. I really want to go back to the 9/11 memorial. Greg an I were there before it was finished. And....to top it off great food, a Yankees game, fun with friends and more.. What an adventure
