A weekend in New York

TravelNYC It was Saint Patrick's weekend and the start of our spring breaks, so Suzanne and I decided to spend a few days in New York getting a break from our daily lives. Sarah ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161906 was on the phone and so hardly noticed. Claire ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161907 seemed ok with the idea. Jane ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161908 was happy to finish her book as Jess ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161909 burned a CD ROM and Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161910 read the newspaper. Meanwhile, Meredith and Ben ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161911 were playing indoor balloon volleyball over the chairs as Benjamin got revved up ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161912 for a slam.

Next thing, we knew, we were in New York looking at the Ernst and Young building ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161913 and Suzanne was conversing with the old Jewish tailor ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161914 who represented the garment industry. Along the way to the hotel, we passed these people buying green hats ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161915 and this mall based on Toys R Us ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161916 which is apparently not doing a good business.

We got to the hotel and took this white picture of the room ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161917 followed by this picture of the blue lights behind the bed ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161918 (no wonder they won the Interiors Magazine award!) and these pictures of the view -- across ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161919 and down. ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161920 This was the view from the door into our bedroom ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161921 and these were the waters ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161922 they left for us. Not to mention, the picture ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161923 on the living room wall and the sink ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161924 in the bathroom with the samples of lotions, potions, notions. ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161925

We left the hotel to walk to the theater ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161926 and got close enough ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161927 to see the reviews.

After the play, we went to Suzan Glazer's apartment for some hors d'oeuvres ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161928 which caused Suzanne to put on her Saint Patrick's green ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161929 to match the napkins ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161930 and the famous Irish gefilte fish balls ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161931 and the champagne bottle ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161932 that we all signed. After a few group pictures ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161933 ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161934 ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161935 we headed to the restaurant where picture taking was not possible except for these obligatory photos of the signs in the bathroom for my collection. ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161936 ../../../Sabbat/03.16-18.02NewYork//P3161937
