We left Newark around 3:00 pm. We found out the difference between 99th street and W 99th St. the hard way: one is in Brooklyn, the other in Manhattan. People were super friendly and helpful, and we saw a quaint corner of Brooklyn in the process! What would we do without GPS and cell phones? I don't know. So, a 40 minute trip from Newark to Manhattan took us about two hours, with traffic and tolls. The trip was lovely, though!
We are staying in Manhattan on the Upper West Side, thanks to the generous hospitality of Jim's friend, Wesley. She showed us around the neighbourhood and we took her out to dinner at her local favourite Sushi place.
We were pooped from running around with kids and waking up early this morning, so we decided to call it an early night (it's twenty to midnight and I am still typing/uploading photos :S) and we'll hit the ground running from Times Square tomorrow morning, NY bagel in hand.
