Oh, Hello New York City!

The time has come…I’m in New York! Everything seems to be going rather swell. Last night I got an email at 8pm from JetBlue telling me my flight was canceled and rescheduled for late today…of course that wouldn’t fly with me. I was able to catch another packed flight at 6am to JFK. The flight went well, I got two cups of OJ and Doritos! I took the AirTrain to Jamaica station where I took the E line for almost an hour to 14^th street. I believe the subway system turned 110 years old today...and it sure smelled like it! I got a metrocard from the machine and put $15 in for my $11 cost but lucky me $7 in coin dollars came back. The Jane Hotel is only a few blocks away but I went in a few circles until I figured out that the streets go in numerical order…duh! The staff at the Jane Hotel have been friendly and held my bag while I walked around Greenwich area. I got a sangria tea from David’s Tea and headed back to the hotel to check-in. The room is tiny as expected but quaint and just about all I need for 3 nights. Theres a rooftop bar and inside club as well! I dropped my bags off and took a walk along Highline Park where I got a really yummy iced coffee to wake me up. It was way too crowded but the trail was nicely done. I ended up walking all the way to Times square! WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE! It was an interesting site nonetheless and I suppose something one must experience in NY. It was pretty overwhelming and I really didn’t know what to do with myself! I got a slice of pizza and sat down outside. Yummy as well! I found the Majestic theatre and then made my way to the Elektra theatre for 50 Shades the musical! There was a neat bar inside the theatre so I took myself on a date and bought myself a delicious expensive cosmopolitan drink. To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend the musical. I have a good sense of humor and love a dirty joke, but this was extremely cheesy. I left pretty fast and caught a subway back to the hotel. Its very windy! Now I'm getting ready to shower and check out the rooftop bar before bed. Lady Liberty Ferry early in the am!
