Having lounged in Freeport for several days, enjoying the friendship and family time that events like marriages can spawn for as long as we could, it was time to take to road again.
We started later than planned (are you seeing the pattern yet, dear reader?) and barreled down I-95 South through a touch of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and finally into New York City, New York.
Emily had found a deal on the Westin on Times Square, normally $500 a night, for 1/5th that a night for four nights. Flash, busy, surrounded by neon and LCD and cement and glass, the hotel was definitely in the center of things.
We met up with Emily's college friends Shannon and Delinda, both now financial slicers-n-dicers in Manhattan, who took us to the pride of Hell's Kitchen, Forty-forth and X, a boutique American cuisine restaurant with fantastic fried chicken and mac-n-cheese. We enjoyed a few drinks at the hotel bar, a mere walk away, and turned in for the night.
