We are supposed to have wireless here in our apartment and the guy said they were going to install a router but nothing yet. It makes it inconvenient, we have to hang around a Starbucks or check at restaurants. Except for that our apartment is fine. Not big, but nothing is here. The guy said it has been redone and we are only the second group to rent it.
One other drawback, five flights of stairs.
We are in a great location, not too far from Time Square. Not that we spend much time there (it's over the top) but not far from the subway either and there are streets and streets of restaurants around here. Our street is pretty quiet, mostly walk-up apartment buildings.
Went through Central to the metropolitan Museum on Sunday, realizes we didn't want to walk the 40 or so blocks back and bought transit passes. Even so there is still a lot of walking so between that and the stairs we are getting lots of exercise.
Anne came into town on Sunday, went back Monday. We are going to New Haven today to spend the day with her and she will be back Thursday or Friday to hang out with us.
It's all going very well, haven't lost anyone yet. Have taken wrong trains occasionally but that's easy to fix.
We were going to go to Ellis Island and the statue on Monday but they are closed due to damage from Hurricane Sandy. So we went shopping. Jude took us to a place called Century 21 which is like a huge Winners but all designer stuff. We exited with quite a few purchases.
Yesterday went to lower east side for a super tour at the Tenement Museum. Stopped for a drink after then went on the Staten Island ferry. It's free! Since we couldn't go to the statue this was the next best thing.
Later: took the train to New Haven to spend a day with Anne. We are at her place now waiting for the rain to subside.
