New York City (January 2020)

My spouse and I visited New York City in mid-January 2020 over the long Martin Luther King holiday weekend. We stayed for two nights on the Lower East Side at the Sixty LES. Although we liked our spacious junior suite, we felt that the hotel might have been a little youthful for us (or alternatively, that we were too old for it!). We were finally able to visit two museums across the bridge in Williamsburg, Brooklyn: the City Reliquary (what a snooze!) and the MOFAD: Museum of Food and Design (only slightly better); however, we did have a great Peruvian-Mexican lunch at the Llama Inn nearby. Although we had planned to see another Brooklyn museum on Sunday, we awoke to find out that we had won Broadway lottery tickets for the new Alanis Morrisette musical Jagged Little Pill at the Broadhurst Theatre (which we loved!), so we trekked to Midtown and had lunch at Dos Caminos Times Square before the show. For dinners, we ate two excellent meals at Contra and Prune, both near the hotel. But never ones to miss an opportunity for good New York deli (plus it was just around the corner from where we stayed), we finished off the trip with a visit to Katz’s Deli before departing for home. We had a great first year 2020 visit to NYC!
