NYC Trip 2026 - Day 5/Juniors Restaurant And Heading Home

 

We awoke to another sunny and warm day in NYC. I'm grateful we only dealt with rain one evening the entire trip. You may remember we have had to flee NYC on more than one occasion due to bad weather (snow and rain). This time - other than being kind of hot at times - we had no real weather issues.

 

Our flight wasn't until later in the afternoon, so we visited Juniors for lunch...

 

 

The food at Juniors is just pretty good. The turkey on my sandwich was a bit dry unfortunately. Doug and Bri felt the thousand island for their sandwiches was a bit sweet for them. Bri loved her hot chocolate. Our server was very nice and attentive.

 

Bri did get a piece of cheesecake to go (their cheesecake is delish). Our food portions huge, so we had to leave a lot of food behind because we were going home that day. I felt so badly about that!

 

We packed up and grabbed a car from the hotel to get to the airport.

 

Passing the Lena Horne Theater (where Six plays) as we were leaving the city...

 

We got the Newark airport with plenty of time.

 

We hung out in the Delta lounge until our flight..

 

Our flight home was smooth. The only blip was trying to get out of the airport parking garage because there was an issue with the payment machine and the gate to let us leave. We were stuck in a line of cars in the garage for about 15 minutes - I am grateful it wasn't even longer.

 

 So - that was our NYC 2026 trip!

I was very nervous in the weeks leading up to the trip. I have a lot of travel PTSD/anxiety due to all the negative incidents that I have experienced on numerous trips. I just really wanted to feel good during this trip. And I did! Being able to walk normally again and not have my stomach burning and squeezing all the time is everything. I hope this lasts for a while.

 

 I say we won't return to NYC again for a while. But I am not sure my Broadway girl will allow that to happen. We shall see! Until next time!
