Really too bad because the first long-term job I had in NY was in the Ticket Operations division at Carnegie Hall. That's one of the only places I've worked where going out for a drink after work was pretty normal - our usual hangout was a dive called Ye Olde Tripple Inn but recalling that crowd, I am pretty sure that if there had still been a tiki bar in the Plaza, we would have splurged at least a few times! bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-38372103937496446492013-12-30T10:57:30.530-05:002013-12-30T10:57:30.530-05:00okay okay okay...re the Plaza, you never went to T...okay okay okay...re the Plaza, you never went to Trader Vics? No Pina Coladas or Zombies? No rubbing elbows with a werewolf?<br /><br />Meanwhile I'm hoping to windsurf tomorrow if I can talk a few fools into joining me.

I'd sort of hop... It is fun, despite the crowds. I'd sort of hoped that going the day after Christmas would mean smaller crowds but that did not happen!<br /><br />Good luck Katy - I hope she sends pictures and a bit of a description - that would be something different to read about on the Bursledon Blog. <br /><br />I have to say that our favorite year so far was the year we ended up picking a particularly icy cold day to go - that really discouraged a lot of people and getting around was much, much easier. But we do enjoy this even when there are crowds - always neat to see what the designers come up with.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-47949969677098088992013-12-28T23:42:24.940-05:002013-12-28T23:42:24.940-05:00Just when those of us who have abandoned the city&...Just when those of us who have abandoned the city's crowds, chaos, traffic, graffiti, noise, smells, and perils are certain that we have made the only sane choice, retreating to the bland safety of the burbs, and that nothing could make the daily sacrifices of urban living worth it, you go and post something like this.<br><br>O Dockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674140306304705852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-85127161776449944312013-12-28T14:04:15.058-05:002013-12-28T14:04:15.058-05:00I'm a bit the same about London, not that I go...I'm a bit the same about London, not that I go window shopping but it's nice to walk through Covent Garden or Oxford Street in the run up to Christmas. <br /><br />Daughter Katy is in New York with her boyfriend for new year so guess they will be joining the crowds in Time square!Bursledon Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14020592383830135476noreply@blogger.com
