My husband, daughter, and I just spent a few days in New York City. For anyone interested, here are a few pics. Sorry about the size, I don't know how to size them so that they're smaller.
I know people post on here from time to time asking about where to stay when visiting NYC. Well, we thought we'd try something different this time, so instead of staying in the city or driving in and out from New Jersey, we stayed at the Sheraton Suites on the Hudson.
The hotel is right outside the Lincoln Tunnel in Weehawken, New Jersey. The price is a lot less expensive than NYC hotels, there is no fee for parking, and the rooms are fairly large with a sitting area, mini-fridge and microwave.
We were on the 10th floor and this is the view from our window, looking across the Hudson to NYC. Beautiful!
This is the view from the ferry landing, which is literally just steps from the hotel's front door.
The ferry arriving to take us across. The boat ride takes less than ten minutes, but I was hoping it would be longer. It's a very relaxing way to travel in and out of the city!
We took the elevator to the "Top of the Rock". This is a view of Central Park.
View from the opposite side. The Top of the Rock tour included a lot of historical photos along the way, and a few short film clips about the history of Rockefeller Center and the NBC Studios. The views from the upper observation deck were magnificent!
Some of the famous Rockettes out on the street. They were filming for something, not sure what.
We saw Willie Nelson's tour bus parked outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre where they were taping a show and I snapped a picture of him as he came out of the theatre! Hillary Clinton was due to arrive about the same time, but we didn't stick around. There were tons of police officers and security personnel and a large crowd of people, so I doubt we would've seen much.
We ate at Bubba Gump's and had an awesome view of Times Square. DD17 loves the movie, Forrest Gump, so we had to eat there!
This was our main reason for visiting NYC this time- to see the Broadway production of Grease. IT WAS TERRIFIC!!!!!! We watched the audition show that was on tv last spring and we were pulling for Max Crumm to win the part of Danny Zucco. He did, and he is absolutely perfect for the part. Max has a lot of stage presence and he sure can dance!
The ferry coming to take us back to the New Jersey side. This one had an upper deck which made my trip complete. I loved riding on the outside deck.
This was taken as the sun was setting. A beautiful picture to end our last day!

) as we wait for the ferry.
No, I didn't look for any discounts. Almost as soon as Max won the role, I went online to get tickets.
