Excellent report Travel Dave and it was a pleasure to finally meet your and your lovely wife Larrie.
I can third the opinion that if you can take advantage of a Marriott Concierge Lounge DO IT! Good selection of foods and drink, an dthat view of TIMES Square.
Yes, the Marquis on Times Sq. is a giant often crowded hotel. But escape to this Lounge if you can. I'm honored that Travel Dave and Larrie would let me join them! THANKS!
OMNI! And you got CABARET tickets!! I had to wait a year to get mine!!!
