6 Kids, 3 cats, 1 dog, Mom, and Dad

Went to NY or It ain't so bad.

I had a customer appointment yesterday at 2pm. They are located on Park Avenue and my company's office is on 5th Avenue in downtown New York City.

I drove down the night before and stayed in a hotel just outside the city. It was a long ride down and by the time I got there I checked in, ate in the hotel, and went to bed.

In the morning I got up and decided to drive into the city. It was really not that bad. Once you get into the city the streets and avenues are laid out in a logical fashion so it is easy to get around.

I parked in a garage right near the 5th Ave. office at around 9am and when I liberated my car at 5:30pm it cost me only $24!

The sales person that I was supporting on this trip took me to lunch and we went to the 21 Club and had lunch off of the Prix Fixe menu, a 3-course meal, for only $33 each!

I had a marinated mushroom salad, rosemary chicken, and Crème Brule. Unfortunately, we had to then visit the customer so I couldn't have a drink or check out their wine list.

I drove through the city, ate at the 21 club, took a taxi, and rode the subway all in one day. I got home at around 11pm last night and collapsed into bed after a long and exhausting day.

I'd like to visit the city when I have time to just hang out and do touristy things, ya know?
