NYC Trip 2022 - Day 1/W Hotel And Times Square

We flew into Newark from Atlanta on Saturday, Sept 17th. We had a morning flight, so that got us into NYC in the early afternoon. 

The flight was really smooth - no issues at all...

This is the Firehouse Subs we decided to grab lunch at in the airport before we took an Uber to NYC. They screwed up our sandwiches pretty nicely, but we just laughed about it. What are you gonna do?

The drive to the hotel from the airport was pretty easy too (we were quite surprised about that being a Saturday afternoon)...

Entrance and lobby to the W Hotel...

Our room wasn't ready yet because we arrived early, so we left our bags at the front desk and went to explore Times Square for a while...

Briana bought a little stuffed bear at the Line Friends (Korean) store in Times Square.

And I don't know who this girl is (below), but she was working it for the camera!

After walking around and soaking in the sights (which was fun but crowded!), we headed back to our hotel where our room still wasn't ready. Because we had a suite reserved (there are so few in the hotel) and we think the people before us checked out late, it was way past the time it should have been ready. 

After waiting for a long while, we finally got to brought to our room. And it was on the 50th floor! That is the highest we've ever been there...

What a view!

So, we had tickets to "Top Of The Rock" and then dinner reservations to celebrate Bri's 16th (belated) birthday. We freshened up and headed out toward Rockefeller Center...

30 Rock is so incredibly tall. We were excited to get to the top of it.

More on that next...
