November 8, 2019 New York City


Girls trip to NYC.
Amtrak round-trip transportation to NYC from Roanoke, Va.
A perfect weekend to get in the Christmas spirit..... and NYC does it NYC style!
We snoozed on the train.

The departure from the train was smooth.
Abby was the expert in using the UBER app. (which we used exclusively). Cheaper, and quicker than subway or cabs. Because we all had luggage, our first UBER ride took us to our hotel.
Hotel Henri at 37 West 24th Street (Chelsea, Manhattan is on the West Side and is primarily residential, but has many retail businesses, resturants, park, delis).
Our second UBER ride delivered us to ROCKEFELLER CENTER.
An easy walk took us to Radio City Music Hall where we were able to take advantage of the BACKSTAGE TOUR of the majestic historic Hall...... in preparation for the following day when we would be seeing  the Christmas Spectacular Starring The Radio City Rockettes.
Here is a little bit of history, aka the Showplace of the Nation. →→ Radio City Music Hall
The lobbies, the grand foyer, the auditorium, and of course, a special interview with one of the Rockettes. WOW....








The carpet, the costumes, the chandeliers, the murals... and housing 5,960 seat ..... extensively renovated in 1999.
After the tour, we ventured back to Rockefeller Center........... NYC's historic landmark for dining and shopping in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. We walked, walked, and walked some more, before getting our 3rd UBER ride back to the hotel. Included in our walking was a stop at Delis 48, a quick, delicious, and inexpensive dinner.



Day was done................ and so were we!!!!!
