How do you spend 24 hours in NYC? For some, they would do much more than I did. However, I did get a little beauty sleep and work in between things. I'll post pictures on facebook when I get home to get connected since I forgot the important "cord" - no wifi camera to PC here yet!
Monday evening I arrived and found a great discounted orchestra section ticket to "In The Heights" which is a must see if you like musicals. (Thank you Kimpton hotel concierge and the codes!) On my way to the theater, I walked past the "Tent" at Bryant Park housing Mercedes Benz Fashion Week - and prestigious list of recognizable names showing their Fall 2009 lines. Schwag bags everywhere, tall skinny people, and lots of limos but who could tell who I was looking at with everyone bundled up as if it was cold in New York this time of year? http://www.mbfashionweek.com/newyork/fall2009/schedule/
It was contemporary mixing salsa and rap with a little fun and good neighborhood feel musical. The audience provided standing ovations, so I guess I wasn't the only one in the sold out show to like it. For those addicted to "Rent", it's not about 525,600 minutes in a year, but rather 96,000 dollars in a lottery ticket in the Barrio :)
From there it was off to enjoy a cocktail and appetizer at the Blue Fin and wander home to the hotel at 70 Park Avenue from the lights of Times Square. Here's a Swatch Ad and a toast to the Year of the Ox.
Tuesday started with a little work and alot of walking and museum where I spent the better part of the day at The Met. Wow, how do you describe so much history and fabulous exhibits? Pictures forthcoming. I popped into the Guggenheim since it was in the area, but decided I was museumed out and walked and wandered back to the hotel. As I walked along Central Park, I kept thinking - why all these people wandering around? Out of jobs, why then all the shopping bags? Oh - NYC is "on sale" and it is!
Back for a little work and on to meet Dave for dinner at the Oyster Bar in the bottom of Grand Central Station. We had a great reasonably priced dinner and toured the subway tracks for fun before heading off to wander the streets. Now - preparations are underway for a full business day tomorrow - good night!

Sorry I got your text so late the other day. Sounds like you did just fine though!
You really do need a Wi-Fi SD card!
