I last blogged about the Tripper Bus to NYC, but didn't say much about the trip itself. So now some catch up.
The main purpose of the trip was to catch up with some friends from grad school. It was a short trip though (arriving late on Friday and leaving at noon on Sunday), so that didn't leave much time to do anything. We did want to see a Broadway show though. As we stood in line at the TKTS booth in Times Square Saturday morning, we were debating what to see. We asked around some local folks & when two guys back to back recommended A Little Night Music, we decided to go see that. To kill time until the afternoon show, we went to the top of the Empire State Building. Well, given the long lines to the attraction, we barely made it back in time for the show. We probably spent 1 hour standing in line and 15 minutes at the top, if that. I should've known better....
The show was a nice way to get out of the heat for a few hours mid-day. We got great orchestra seats for half-price. The star of A Little Night Music was Bernadette Peters, which was another reason why we wanted to see the show. It was a great show, but not sure I would've given it the raving reviews those guys did. Then again, they were gay, so that might explain things a bit.
The rest of the evening was spent wandering from bar to restaurant to bars. Bars haven't been my thing recently. It's a bit hard to believe that when I used to live in NYC I used to go to the bars with colleagues couple times a week, staying out until well past midnight, stumbling into work the next morning still. Certainly none of that going on these days. Yeah, it's a bit boring but my body says tough - no drinking. Oh well. Probably best to stick to healthy hobbies anyways :)
