THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL FOR MY BIRTHDAY WISHES!!! The city was fun---typical NYC, crowds of people, lots of traffic, good food, great plays and entertainment, but tiring. We left here about 3, got to the city about 5:30 due to the traffic, and tried to get into our favorite restaurant, Carmine's, with no luck.....no reservations, and an hour and a half to two hour wait......NO THANKS!! Went to Carley-O's, had a great dinner and then set off to the Gershwin theater for the play. All of a sudden in the middle of NYC I hear very loudly, "EVELYN," turn around and it's a couple I taught with for 30 years who retired 2 years ago......only in NY, what fun.
The play was good, we walked around the city to walk off dinner and then headed out to find the parking garage where we parked at 5:30......are you all ready for this one???? From 5:30 when we parked, to 11:15 when we deparked, they charged..............$46.....only in NYC!!! That's why we only go in there once or twice a year!!! The next time we'll definitely take the train and do a matinee.
But, it was a great birthday, and we're going out to dinner out here tonight. Thank you all for all my well wishes, it has been a great birthday celebration, and the first one for this old, retired lady.
