NeoPatrick,
Thanks for the update. I'm sorry to hear about the Olympic. We've had many a fine breakfast there over the last 9-10 years.

Yes, it is personal tragedy to walk one block out of one's way.

Wow, IMDonehere. "personal tragedy"? That's how you interpret "certainly worth it"?

No scaffolding - apparently more updating due for restaurant and such. This morning I went to the 9-11 memorial and rode the Staten Island ferry. Right now I'm in the cafe in the Met looking across a snowy Central Park having salmon and a champagne cocktail Tonight - Kinky Boots . . Did I mention, DAMN its cold !!!

I hope you can make it to the Doughnut Plant. Heavenly doughnuts. There is one on the LES as well as in Chelsea.

Dean and DeLuca in Rock Center carries them, too, but only weekdays, not weekends.

Did the Dean and Deluca in Rockefeller Center move to a nearby location?

When Keith and I walked by this summer after coming home from Venice, there was a Bouchon Bakery in that location--across from the Today Show. The windows were painted over so we couldn't see inside.

We were going to get a coffee but when we saw the new Bouchon, we went to a Cafe Europa on 6th Ave instead.

It is on 48th street IIRC. B/W 5th and 6th.

If it is tomorrow that you plan to fly home, I hope you have a plan B. Even if flights get out from NY, the planes that come through Atlanta may not. Best of luck!

Yeah I know about the storm. A plan B doesn't help much since all the options will be similarly impacted. So I'm just waiting til tomorrow AM to see how things and I'll just go w/ the flow.

I'm supposed to fly out of LGA through Dallas . . .

It is supposed to hit NYC overnight. Hope it slows down and waits til mid day or is mostly rain/ sleet here.

If it is inevitable, enjoy NY and get reservations at restaurants where they are cancelled.

Thursday's weather is going to be treacherous and as someone pointed out, who knows where your plane has started it's travel.

Looks like pretty much all flights this morning and most this afternoon from LGA have been cancelled. Alternative plan?

We're headed into NYC tomorrow by train, bus, car, or horse drawn sleigh for our three nights first anniversary weekend. We're going to get there somehow, I swear!

So far my flight is still scheduled but my guess it will be cancelled too. The 'turn over' is supposed to be around noon-ish so if it does change to mostly rain then, some flights late this afternoon may go.

But the hotel has given me late check out and I can keep the same room (at the same super duper rate -yay!) if I need it. But tomorrow may be as bad as today since more snow is due over night.

So far haven't hear from AA.

If those three beautiful Huskies my neighbor walks by my house every morning come up missing tomorrow, you'll know where they went!

Good luck, janis, although I can think of far worse things than being stuck in NYC for an extra day. If you are, head to TKTS. Yesterday there was NO line at all, and I scored a 5th row orchestra seat for Beautiful which was great, by the way.

Thinking of you and hope you get home today.

Just saw the Today Show. Awk! I don't see how you are even going to get out to the airport. Stay warm and safe.

I wonder why Dean and Deluca moved?

Is the new space larger? Does it have a second floor?

It is so strange that Bouchon Bakery had its windows painted over. We would have checked it out but had no idea if they had seating.

What a nightmare it all is.

I see three of the four LGA to DFW American flights this afternoon are on time. The fourth was cancelled. Good luck, janis.

Following, loved the breakfast recs for next time I'm in the city. And I always enjoy seeing Thin on a thread (Hi, Thin, recommender-of-my-most-memorable-meal-ever!).

Worried about Janis getting home! Janis, did you make it okay?

Am sitting at home in my jammies

Loooooong day - and long story. Ended up on a DFW flight that diverted through Nashville. AA recommended I get on an earlier flight because they might close the airport again before my 4:50 flight. I was in First and they got me standby on the 12:55 flight - last FC seat. But after they closed the door and were spraying the plane w/ de icer, etc -- the pilot comes on the PA and says -- "In case you are wondering why we are going to Nashville . . . Because the runway is so short due to the ice and snow we can either leave 46 of you here and have a full load of fuel . . . OR we can get you all to Dallas - But we only have enough fuel to get to Nashville where we'll fuel up and proceed to DFW. And no, the door is closed so you can't get off now."

Glad you made it home safe and sound!
