A garden in the city
Caught the ferry over to New York around 9 and then the subway to Times Square where we then walked up 7th Avenue, intending to buy some tickets to a show or musical. Brenda ran across two people who were hawking tickets on the street which is something you find quite often in New York. We were going to see what was on sale at Times Square but the lines are usually long and you take your chance with what you can get. In any case we went to their office and order two tickets for Tuesday night to the musical “Baby, It’s You” which we thought would be good. Based on the story of the woman who discovered the Shirelles among other groups. Lots of songs by the Shirelles and others.
After that we continued walking around, went over to the Empire State Building where I got into the line up to go up. Brenda decided she didn’t want to go up and was going to go around the corner to the Starbucks and wait for me. I got into the line up, went through security which was like at the airport and then waited and waited to buy a ticket. Finally gave up and came back downstairs to find Brenda waiting for me on a bench right outside the Empire State Building. She couldn’t find Starbucks which right around the corner.
We grabbed our hop on/hop off bus since the ticket we purchased yesterday was good for two days and went for another ride around the downtown. Nice way to get off your feet and see the city again. Different announcer and different point of view. After the ride we walked past the Museum of Modern Art and discovered the Museum of Folk Art which had a special display of quilts. Unfortunately it was closed today, but we decided to return tomorrow as one of Brenda’s interests is quilts.
