2022 was finally a memorable birthday for me after the previous two spent at home under some sort of COVID restrictions. 2020 was a full lockdown, and 2021 was when venues where still at limited capacity. And actually my birthday was a Wednesday and most hospitality venues like cafes were closed midweek.
Today was another early start, Kathryn was up and we opened my cards and presents at about 6:30am. I popped up to the rooftop for a bit.
We were down by 9am to get breakfast at the Hole in the Wall. I had eggs again and Kathryn had waffles. I thought about waffles but was worried that I would get indigestion. They were actually really sweet, but Kathryn let me have a little bit that she couldn't eat.
Kathyrn had let me choose what to do today. I was keen to do some shopping, so we headed over to Soho to look for some trainers to buy. To walk over really doesn't take that long. It was a little chilly but it was still quite warm in the sun. Unfortunately the shopping isn't as good as it used to be and we came away empty handed. We did walk back to Eataly and get some things for lunch and alater (cakes, bread, pizza). I had the other 1/2 of my bagel for lunch from yesterday.
We sat out on the rooftop area for a while until the shadows from the skyscraper blocked the light. We had tomatoe sauces with grilled vegetable and some lovely fresh pasta for dinner. Then we left to get to Broadway to see Hamilton. Incidentally, other than the airport, this would be the only time we would get the subway all week.
We arrived at about 6:30pm and joined the queue. Thankfully we didn't have to wait long to get it. It was dark, but warm and dry so it wasn't too bad waiting outside for a bit. We had great seats on the boxes to the side of the stage. They were listed as 'restricted view', but actually it was far from it, the views were great. Plus, we didn't have to sit with anyway, we had to box all to ourselves. So, it was just a bit more pleasant from that perspective.
The show finished at about 10pm. We had a little trouble getting back, but managed it eventually. I thought there was some sort of works going on that was disrupting our train, but actually I think it was fine. It was a little scary, but there was actually police all around. We road the E train back to the World Trade Center and walked the last little bit from there.
The weather look set to change tomorrow and it supposed to be rainy/stormy and warm. This is because a ex-hurruciane is come up the coast.
