Yesterday was a lovely day in the city. I arrived at 8:45am and began my day promptly by buying an unlimited MTA card. I hopped on the subway and walked around Times Square, 5th Avenue, and Rockefeller Plaza. I was a bit disappointed because they didn't have the Christmas tree full erected.
Actually, I was walking toward Times Square Church, which had a 10am service that I wanted to attend. But something unexpected happened, I passed Radio City Music Hall and there were crowds of people lining up for a show. I didn't pay much attention to why until I walked by the doors. A man was on the street corner selling a ticket. At first I passed him, but I got curious and went back to ask what the show was for and how much he wanted for the ticket. He asked for $45, so I countered with $35. The ticket was for a 10am show, The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular. I had seen ads for the show on the train, but I never actually thought of seeing the show myself. Yep, so I saw the Rockettes. All I can say is that it was the most phenomenal Christmas show I've ever seen in my life and the most beautiful music. The orchestra was amazing.
After the Rockettes, I met a friend for lunch in China town on Mott and Canal St. After that, I went to Battery Park, Wall St., Ground Zero, and Greenwich Village. It was a beautiful day. Now I'm on my way to Boston. I have a bus to catch at 8:30am.
