My Short New York Vacation is Over

We took a few days for a short vacation in New York City and now it’s back to selling real estate in Daytona Beach. I wasn’t completely cut off from clients and staff, but I managed only a few hours each day on the phone.

From what we could see, the New York restaurant, show and club scene are not experiencing any economic problems. We tried to eat at the Manhattan Ocean Club, but weren’t able to get a reservation at a decent time. Shows likes Jersey Boys are commanding $140.00 and up for a ticket (too much) and the streets are crowded with New Yorkers and tourists.

There were a lot of foreign tourists taking advantage of the strong Euro. You can walk blocks hearing no English. The streets are crowded and the city is vibrant. The city is still clean and safe and there was a big police presence in the Time Square Area. We love the city and have spent a lot of time there. My husband worked in New York for seven years and I miss the city and the pace and energy.

We did have a great meal at Palm Too and found out that they have a restaurant in Orlando on Universal Blvd. We saw 39 Steps on Broadway that was very interesting and good. Four actors play 150 parts in a really fast paced show. We also went to a taping of three shows for “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.” That was very interesting, but long. We started at 10:15 and got out of there at 3:45. Still it was a fun way to spend a day.

Three nights go quickly and we got back into town about 5:30. I’ll be out tomorrow showing houses and condos. I’m happy to be back to Daytona Beach, but part of me is still in New York.
