Sunday in the City
When we visited a few weeks ago, we had pretty much narrowed our search to the Upper East Side... and one apartment in particular, on East 77th. So we decided to stay at nearby The Mark, spend time in the neighborhood and see how we felt three days later. While
Mrs. SFO777 was getting ready for the day, I headed out for some fresh air. Up Madison...
... then west on 78th...
To Park Avenue and Central Park.
Then back on East 77th to the hotel.
A little later, with
Mrs. SFO777, north on Madison and back over to Central Park.
It was a perfect 65 degree spring day and we decided to just sit, relax and enjoy the park and the great people watching.
Oh come on sweetie, it's only a little bird.
Awww.
And back to The Mark where we met our Pedicab driver Bobby for the scenic ride to Times Square and West 45th theater district.
To the Hirschfeld Theatre.
And the Sunday matinée of the wonderful Kinky Boots.
What a fabulous show. No pics during the performance but I snuck one during the finale.
After relaxing back at the hotel and enjoyed SFO777Jr's gift of champagne and strawberries, we headed down to 23rd Street in the Flatiron district and The Clocktower Restaurant which is located in the New York EDITION hotel.
The hotel bar in the lobby...
... and upstairs to the retro decor restaurant, from restauranteur Stephen Starr and Michelin-star British chef Jason Atherton.
OK, gotta love the tableware.
A great meal and a quick 20 minutes later. our Uber driver dropped us off at our hotel some 54 blocks up Madison.
