Brian got the room via Priceline and we ended up at the Hudson Hotel near Columbus Circle. There was no signage on the front of the building!
Just inside the front door was a very small lobby that led to these escalators up to the main lobby.
This is the view from the lobby on to the terrace behind the front desk
The lobby bar is apparently a trendy hot spot for the Paris Hilton's of the world
The room was small but very nice; well worth the price we paid on Priceline.
The curtain in this picture can be pulled aside to see the shower
The bathroom was trendy but very small
This is the shower on the other side of the curtain; there was glass between the shower and bedroom
We took a tour of Radio City Music Hall and got to go on stage. This picture is a little fuzzy since it was taken without a flash. You can see the 3 balconies at the back of the theater.
This is the scene from the top balcony. The acoustics were amazing! We could hear the tour clearly on the stage without any sound system.
Jean poses inside the theater at Radio City Music Hall. There is no "back stage" so the performers have to come out the small curtains on the side walls behind Jean.
Jean brought out her old Flashette days and did a kick line on stage at RCMH
This is a famous dining room table in Roxy's apartment inside Radio City Music Hall
Jean and Brian pose with a real Rockette!
Obnoxious ads are the norm in Times Square...this one for Toys 'R Us
Macy's department store is bigger than most malls!
Ground zero was a very humbling site. Construction has begun on the replacement buildings, new train hub, and memorials.
Taxis are everywhere in Manhattan
Brian in front of the rink at Rockefeller Center (good timing on the picture!)

This was inside the M&M store. Those colorful towers are filled with M&Ms for you to create your color assortment.
This fountain in Central Park is a popular setting for movies.

You forget you are in the middle of a large city when you walk through Central Park
This was a walking bridge over the pond near the fountain
Jean's favorite store, Tiffanys
I was told that pictures are not allowed inside the store shortly after taking this picture
Brian in Times Square
Jean in Times Square shortly after getting relief for her feet
A tourist legend - the Naked Cowboy
As you can see he's wearing underwear and poses with several tourists. He never got to sing more than a couple words before someone else posed for a picture.
We returned to the theater to get some photos...this is the sign outside the theater.
This is the clock in the lobby of the theater
Mamma Mia! is one of our other favorite shows with the theater right on Broadway
Advertising is everywhere in this picture looking south on Broadway toward Times Square
Traffic cops are also a common site in NYC
This picture taken from the plane is a view of the old and new Yankee Stadium
