Kinky Boots on Broadway!
Kinky Boots on Broadway!
Hiya!
Greetings from the BIG APPLE!
It’s great to be back.
Talk about the city that never sleeps!
We had a monkey of a time getting through JFK customs and passport control last night. Two and a half hours in a very hot, crowded, tunnel-like corridor.
No info, no help for the elderly, nothing.
And all over the walls there were posters saying
WELCOME! BIEN VENIDA! WILLKOMMEN!
Bloody useless springs to mind.
Then we got accosted by a sleezy looking character right outside the terminal, hustling for a taxi fare.
Just what you need after a 7 hour flight
and a 2 1/2 hour endurance test.
The good news is I’ve been here before
and I know better than to get into an independent cab.
I had 2 questions for him.
“Yellow Cab? ” No, black cab.
“How much to Manhattan?” $100 + toll fares + tip
On your bike matey!
YELLOW TAXI EVERY TIME.
$59 + tip
If you ever make the trip to New York, bear this in mind.
I know a lot of Brits get scorched that way.
Grace was already waiting at the hotel.
It was sooooo good to see her.
She looks so well and happy.
So what’s on the menu today?
The Stardust Diner, where the waiters sing,
and then
Our hotel is just round the corner,
literally a five minute walk!
one minute from Times Square
two minutes from what they call Restaurant Row.
If you ever want a reasonably priced, very lovely hotel
in Midtown Manhattan,
smack bang in the middle of theatreland,
I will be happy to share the details with you.
But now Paul and I are off to explore early morning New York
and then hook up with Gracie .
Comfy shoes on and off we go !!!
Kinky boots for the evening!!
Love & Hugs,
Barb
