<\/a><\/p>\nI arrived around 4:30 to our hotel, The Hudson Hotel<\/a> on W 58th Street near Columbus Circle (does that sound fancy or what?? Ok, ok, I\u2019ll stop).<\/p>\n David and I felt super swanky at The Hudson. It\u2019s quite a nice hotel, just checkout the lobby, and it\u2019s a happening night spot! The have several bars, a 15th floor terrace bar and an outdoor area called Tequila Park that is packed full by happy hour every evening.<\/p>\n (Picture taken in the morning due to said crowds)<\/p>\n We checked into our room and were updated to a superior room.<\/p>\n Wow. NYC hotels are a whole new (tiny) world! The room was small, but well-aligned, clean and all we needed for the weekend. The AC was flowing and the mattress was comfortable. What else do you need a room for besides sleeping anyway?<\/p>\n The bathroom followed suit. It was \u201dcozy\u201d (that\u2019s what realtors use for the word small, right?), but felt crisp and clean (most important to me!).<\/p>\n To my total surprise, I had a special delivery waiting for me.<\/p>\n My incredibly sweet friends, Alexis and Christen, had sent beautiful flowers and cupcakes from Magnolia bakery to my room! I was overwhelmed with their thoughtfulness and we dug right into the (AMAZING) cupcakes while we were getting ready for the night out.<\/p>\n Once we were all dolled up, we walked down towards Time Square and our dinner reservations at The View Restaurant<\/a>.<\/p>\n The entire restaurant rotated, providing us with incredible views of the city at sunset.<\/p>\n During our dinner, we got in a full rotation and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the city from this viewpoint. However, the food\u2026<\/p>\n though beautifully plated, was simply not good. It was bland and lacked texture. My filet was more similar to pot-roast in texture and taste than a filet. I would recommend The View for grabbing a drink, but eat elsewhere!<\/p>\n No matter, we were having a great time and I was too excited about the show to care much about the food.<\/p>\n After dinner we headed straight for Gershwin Theater to see WICKED<\/a>!!!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
