Now In New York City, Saw Jersey Boys

We drove from Maine to New York City yesterday for the second half of our vacation week. We're renting a beautiful one-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side.

After we got settled, we took a subway downtown and got tickets to Jersey Boys at TKTS, the half-price ticket booth in Times Square. We grabbed a slice of pizza before the show, ate it, and went to our next-to-last row balcony seat.

Shane loved the show, but it was not my favorite. It wasn't really a musical as much as monologues of the band members telling the story of the Four Seasons as they re-enacted the songs.  It was fun to hear the songs, but the story wasn't that interesting to me. I did buy a piece of cheesecake on the way home last night, which was awesome.

This morning I had to move the car. We found an amazing parking spot on the street we are staying when we got here yesterday, but the street sweeper was coming between 9 and 10:30.  So I moved the car to a garage and then I went for a run in Central Park.  On the way back from my run, I saw the sweeper come and how everyone else waited in their cars and pulled out and rotated around so they wouldn't lose their space. Live and learn.
