Weekend in NYC
Well, it wasn't a complete weekend in NYC! Just a Saturday night!
Brock and I headed up to NYC on Saturday afternoon to take in dinner and a show! Leda stayed home with Aunt Karen and did a little girl bonding (no QVC, but jewelry was apparently discussed!).
We stayed at the Hotel Belleclaire on the Upper West Side - nice little hotel...one of those hotels that is just that - a place to sleep! No restaurant or bar (but there's one right around the corner) and if you are lucky, you can get a private room...we had reserved one, but apparently, due to a busted pipe, they were unfortunately a little on the full side with less than the normal number of rooms, and apparently we lost out on our private room...so, we had to share a bathroom with two other rooms...ended up not being a big deal, we never saw our "bathroom mates" and never had to wait for the bathroom! And, we saved $110!
Took the VERY HOT subway down to the theater district and had a little dinner at Ruby Foo's. We had dinner at Ruby Foo's 3 1/2 years ago when a large group of us headed up for a weekend. We like Ruby Foo's but it's much better with a large group of people (LOTS of food!). After dinner, we took a walk down to the theater - Times Square is a mad house - I am not too sure I enjoy it - it's just too crowded. It started to rain a little bit, but just for a minute or two, and then we were at the theater - we went to see Spamalot!
What a GREAT show! It's "lovingly ripped off" of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie. It's hysterical! Tim Curry played King Arthur and was awesome! Of course, somewhere in the middle of Act I, I for some reason had "Frank N. Furter" running through my head - have NO idea why! ;-) It really was a fun show - we enjoyed it!
After the show, another walk up Broadway to a little bar for a beer, then back to the hotel for bed.
We got up and packed and back home by 11:30! Karen and Leda where no worst for the wear, and we were happy to be home. But, heading off to NYC is fun! We really need to try and do it more often!
And, may I suggest, go see Spamalot! ;-) Just watch out for the Killer Rabbits! ;-)
