So I guess twice the price would be double of what half as much had cost. Which may have been a deal at any price yet none the less expensive. Needn't say more.

Moulin Rouge (just her)
Mrs. Doubtfire (just her)
Plaza Suite (both of us)
Hadestown (both of us)
Music Man (both of us, daughter and her boyfriend)
The Book of Mormon because Jagged Little Pill was canceled [both of us (2nd time), daughter and her boyfriend]
Couple nice dinners scheduled with all of us. The Kitchen Table at The Modern and One Dine at One World
More later
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Museum of Modern Art.
Metropolitan Opera
In answer to the OP- Early to bed, and rise up to the occasion. No different to Thailand I suppose.
Might be interesting to see if a TG enjoyed a Katz deli sandwich though. Then walk her thru' Chinatown- it's close by.
^Been to Chinatown. She wasn’t impressed.
April in Thailand can be awful and it is a good time to leave, unless you have a job or family that might want to limit your time away.
Whatshername arrived in New York today (for about a month). We’ll be joining her later.
About the 6 different plays above. We had scheduled a trip to New York in 2020. Two or three plays and one concert (Beth Hart). Covid cancelled our plans and we’re making up for it this trip. Still required to show proof of vaccinations and have to wear a mask.
Early morning Coney Island (picture taken from the subway). She said there were a few hundred people there.
Hardly anyone on the subway.
It's quite Russian there you know. People be scared to go, or their Russian Blue will be confiscated.
Years ago wahtshername got a picture with the Fearless Girl standing in front of the Charging Bull. Fearless Girl was later moved.
But she found her again.
You know all the best places.
Bit 'nicer'- maybe hang out with the suits for a while at South Street seaport, from about 4pm to when you head for dinner. Got about as much soul as a soulless thing, but it's a bit toney and I think a TG might like it, especially if told she's hanging out with bankers in a (the?) major world financial capital.
Puttin' on the Ritz? One of those dark wood panelled, traditional American steak houses. Smith & Wollensky? Or maybe that ultraJewish place (rude waiters, great steaks) in Brooklyn. Assuming she likes steak of course. And you don't mind paying.
Oh, and the Circle line cruise around Manhattan island is one of NYC' few great bargains. Best way to see the Statue of Liberty too.
Having worked in Manhattan most of my life, I usually could not wait to get out of there. But for someone visiting there for the first time, or been there only a few times I can see the attraction.
May I suggest a car rental and a ride north of the city?
West side highway to the GW bridge, then about an hour's ride north on the The Palisades Parkway (first exit after the bridge).
The ride itself is very nice, especially this time of the year. at The end of the parkway, at the circle, follow the signs for Bear mountain state park . You will not regret it.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
She left early this morning for the Empire State building to watch the sunrise. Hoping to get better pictures when we all are there with her next week.
Her first play this trip. Moulin Rouge
But first Covid related information.
The theater will email mail you a request to get there early where they will check for proof of Covid vaccinations. She just showed a picture on her phone of her CDC card and a matching ID (name). On her phone was also her ticket QR code.
Whatshername’s review (edited)
Enjoyed the show and if she has friends visiting, she’ll take them to this play.
Costumes, Settings/Scenes, Actors/Actresses are wonderful. Especially the main female character.

She has guests coming and she started to fill the refrig.
When we started visiting they were just a hole-in-the-wall (W 74th St), with at least 20 to 40 people standing in line to get in.
They’ve grown.
She went to see Mrs. Doubtfire this afternoon.
But first,….I received a note today reminding me what would be required when attending a play in New York……
Mrs. Doubtfire review........
Quoting her: So good & funny. I really enjoyed the show.
Laughed a lot
She also told me if you are not wearing your mask properly (even during the play) you’ll be asked to correct it.
Your lady is a real culture vulture! Good for her.
^She does enjoy the arts. I can’t remember which, France or Italy. We were given permission by a museum; to enter early (our guide was an art graduate), and she enjoyed having the museum to herself.
She wasn’t feeling bad but just wanted to check herself after spending so much time with different groups of people.
She has been trying to enjoy the city (unusually cold and windy) the past couple days.
Time and temp
Roosevelt Island
And some Street Art.

This week we went to see 'Plaza Suite'
I like Matthew Broderick and have seen him before in another play. Plaza Suite was a pretty good play but maybe not as good as the first play we saw him in.
Went by The Summit to get a couple pictures
We are all here with her now. Our first dinner out. The Kitchen Table.

What a lovely trip.
I guess less is more.
Jeepers.
There's a few up-sari opportunities on that balcony!
That was 1 of 10 (whatshername's pictures/drinks).
They are warned.........
Is there a recommended dress code?
Guests are required to wear a shirt and shoes at all times while on the premises. Offensive or threatening language and messaging on apparel is not permitted.
Due to the nature of the space and presence of reflective and transparent flooring materials, we recommend wearing pants, shorts, or tights to enjoy the full SUMMIT experience. For guests uncomfortable walking on reflective surfaces, we do offer a non-reflective privacy path throughout the space.
Yet there were more than a few wearing skirts.
Couple of restaurants we were able to visit while everyone was here.
Gabriel Kreuther – Excellent food
and One Dine
Food is fine, but you’re going for the view. They aren’t offering a Key Lime (pie) in a glass any longer so I will no longer visit.
Extra. Whatshername noticed New York legalized pot last year and she saw all the new shops that had opened up. She wanted to try it for the first time. I was a bit surprised at the cost. When I was young, an ounce was 20.00.
Off to the park. I thought she might be more comfortable in this type of environment.
Result,…she told me that was her first and last time smoking pot. She only smoked one third of a joint.
I trust the other 2/3 didn't go to waste.
Having not read one response on this thread I will jump in and say, finger her twat on the subway. Is that the way the thread is leaning?
Having read the thread i'll say, well done Landreth a nice stroll and room for lots more, tis got a lot to see.
SL, Keep it coming! Really great stuff!
