This morning we left Providence, RI and drove 3 hours to New York City. The traffic was minimal and we found our hotel without any incident. New York is awesome and I have been on sensory overload all day. When we arrived at our hotel, Broadway at Times Square, we checked our luggage, parked our car and hit the streets running. After acquiring our Gray Line bus tickets we booked a tour on The Ride, a special bus that has the seats facing the sidewalk with guides that both informed and entertained the passengers. Many laughs!!

After our bus trip we headed back to see if we could pick up some discounted Broadway tickets. We finally decided on King Charles III at the Music Box Theater because it was the Premier tonight and perhaps we would see someone famous in attendance. What a wonderful experience for my first Broadway play in NYC. We also saw George Takei, Sulu from Star Trek, on the Red Carpet. After the play we ate at Johnny's and had cheesecake to top off a perfect first day in New York.
