New York City Thoughts 1

It takes 5 hours to fly from Halifax to London England. Due to a flight cancellation and subsequent rebook, it took us 7 hours to fly to NYC. Given we'd left for the airport at 445am and we had theater tickets for that night, it was a very long day.

I apologise New Yorkers, but LaGuardia Airport is a pit. UPDATE: The ARRIVALS level is a complete pit - the departure level is quite nice.

Last evening, at 7th Ave and 52nd(maybe) saw this actor. She was crossing 7th, umbrella in hand (as NYC was - and is - having rolling not-quite thunderstorms) ... she looked fantastic.

I know we've only been here less than 24 hours but we're yet to meet anyone who I'd call genuinely rude. (Of course, I'm not exactly Mr Tact myself.) A couple of people have been a little brusque but no one's cussed me out.

Walking back from the theatre (Avenue Q) last night was interesting. It was about 1030pm and Time's Square was packed with people just sitting, watching the giant electronic billboards. The walk back to the hotel was very pleasant. It was reasonably cool and the sidewalks weren't overly crowded so you could walk at your own pace.

Today, the Whitney and the Apple Store for sure. Oh, and tickets to "The 39 Steps."
