We're back! What a trip!

Great trip to NYC from 18th-21st. The London was a bit of a disappointment. On three seperate occasions they had told me we would have twin beds in one room of our two bedroom suite. Of course they did not. They did have a crib in the room which we did not ask for and there was no frig which we had requested. The Michealangelo had offered to try and get me what I needed when I cancelled, but since I thought I had it at the London, I declined. Did speak to a manager at the London the next day to tell him
how disappointed I was. They knocked 300 off the daily rate for the first night, but we still wound up with a $3000 bill for three nights. Marseille was excellent.
Phantom was great. The Rockettes were boring after the first two numbers. Harvey and Hairspray were phenomanal. Carnegie deli was awful. The smell of the BR is still in my clothes. Food was soso. TOTG
was beautiful and since breafast is hard to screwup it tasted good,too.
Weather was hell, we all got home safely if not on time. Thanks for all of your help. More later about some secret places we found.

br is bathroom, sorry thats old nurses shorthand and Tavern on the green was something I had seen here as TOTG. Anyway, while we were at Rockefeller Center we saw a proposal on the ice. This one of our favorite places to sit rink side and have coffee or take out and watch the skaters. We got cupcakes from Magnolia and had a great Martini in the bar at St. Regis where we witnessed another proposal. In spite of the room complications I will say that the entire staff at the London was well trained and on their toes about customer service. We met James Brown, the CBS pregame show host outside of the hotel and he was
wonderful asking our names, shaking hands, introducing his niece to us. We thought we saw Dennis Leary at
Carnegie, but he was in VIP. Hope he didn't have to use the bathroom.
Thanks.
