DAY 1: 6:00am wake-up call & we’re off! The first 3 1/2 hours was pretty uneventful. Kids mostly slept while we drove to the boarder and headed towards NYC. Our first stop was shortly after 10:00am at Waterloo Premium Outlet in Seneca County, NY. We did a bit of shopping and had a bite to eat and we were off again. It was a perfect March day for driving - above seasonal temperatures, clear skies and no traffic at all - beautiful! We had to make 3 more stops before getting into NYC and we ALMOST made it the entire way without any kid getting sick but the last hour was just too much for M3. What was suppose to be a 10 minute drive thru Lincoln tunnel to our hotel on 8th Ave & 35th St lasted 45 minutes. Fortunately M2 (or maybe unfortunately for M2) had a plastic bag ready when the cheesy bacon fries came hurling out.
The hotel, while quite dated, is a two room suite with two double beds, a pull out sofa bed, and two full bathrooms to accommodate the 5 of us. And the price, by NY standards, is considered very reasonable. But the hallways, carpet, walls & washrooms just look old and in need of a fresh update. I think if we visit again I would splurge and pay for a newer hotel.
It was almost 8:00pm before we ventured out to find some dinner. There are many good options to choose from and we only walked 3-4 blocks. We settled for ramen at Tabata. Not bad, but the consensus was Sansotei back home was still better.
