New York City


One year ago today I whisked my sweetheart away on a chariot to be enthralled in the scenic countryside of Manhattan. When I say chariot I of course am referring to the china town bus that goes from DC to NYC for about an Andrew Jackson ($20 dollar bill people!). It was an amazing surprise and a wonderful anniversary present. We got down from the bus and went immediately to our hotel right in the heart of time square. We stayed at the luxurious Marriott marquis with an amazing view of the square. We got the room absolutely free because we had saved up our hotels.com reward points! We just got rewarded another free night, where will we go? Back on point...We through our bags on the bed, boarded the subway and sped off to the Bronx to catch the Bronx bombers in action. The new Yankee Stadium is iconic! I was in awe at the splendor of this gigantic sports arena. We scored $40 tickets from a scalper for $10 each. It was a great game filled with home runs, hot dogs, and pin-stripes!
Mander really wanted to see a play while we were there, she absolutely loves Broadway! We went to the lottery for the wicked tickets everyday, but never were so lucky! However, on the Sunday before we left, we went over to the Lion King theater to see if anyone might have some extra tickets...we were in luck! one guy, two tickets, fourth row! What a find. We got them for half price. It was an amazing weekend. You can always find some killer deals, even in the most expensive city in the United States.
