3 days in the City - day 1

We've lived on Long Island since 1990 and have not, in that time period, spent the night in New York. Recently an old friend of ours offered us her apartment on the upper West side while she was out travelling. With my teaching duties and so on, we figured out that we could do two nights starting Thursday. Also, our friend told us that she had tickets to the first regular performance of "My Fair Lady" at Lincoln Center for Thursday, and we were welcome to use them. Since Lincoln Center was across the street, that sounded pretty good. Also, the performance starred Kelsey Grammer and Brian Dennehy, and we had never been to Lincoln Center, so it actually sounded fabulous.
