Concrete Streets Where Dreams Are Made of

When I checked into my original hotel last night after a full day of work and some cheesy sightseeing (Empire State Building, which was like an amusement park ride inside, Rockefeller Center, minus the ice skaters, and Saks Fifth Avenue, on 5th Avenue), I was pleased to learn that my room was in fact ready. And that room was the Penthouse Suite. Please note that I am paying $350 a night. Nowhere close to penthouse prices, especially in New York City. But I'll take it! A huge, very comfortable king size bed, fluffy robes, chandelier and wraparound deck with lounge chairs and a great view. Seriously?? Sad that I'm only staying there for two nights. But I'll take a few nights as a VIP any day!
