New York City (April 2018)
My spouse and I visited New
York City for the weekend in mid-April 2018. Originally, we had planned to
visit the Hudson River Valley (to see Storm King), but when we were making
those plans, we also developed a “Plan B” in case the weather wasn’t
cooperative to visit the outdoor sculpture park. Our Plan B was to visit NYC,
and in preparation, we submitted our names for some of the Broadway lotteries.
The weather was predicted to be favorable, so our Storm King plan was a go. But
on the day of our departure, we learned that we had scored $45 lottery tickets
to see both parts of Angels in America. So we quickly changed plans and visited
NYC. We ate at Danji (where we had dined previously in May 2016), McHale’s, and
Nobu Fifty-Seven. And we saw Angels in America, Parts I and II, which each last
four hours. We had a 2-hour break between parts, and each part offered two
15-minute intermissions. We were at the theatre from 1:00 pm until 11:00 pm! It
was a “dark” and “heavy” show, but enjoyable to see Nathan Lane and Andrew
Garfield. The following day, we won tickets to see Escape to Margaritaville, a
musical that incorporates Jimmy Buffet songs – the light, fun show was just the
right counterpoint to the play that we saw the day before. We stayed at the
Hilton Midtown so that we could try another Hilton property in the city (we
still have quite a few to go!). We had a great spring weekend in the city!
