Richard Rogers theatre was for Hamilton tickets. I’ve never heard any of the music, but everyone says it’s amazing and worth the $$. Since we were 2nd in line for cancellation tickets, we enjoyed our pizza and rest for an hour after exploring midtown. The other couple there ended up being cousins with our friend and ward members, Simone and Steven Howe’s cousin. After our pizza was gone and we were ready to go again, we gave up on the wait for Hamilton tickets and set out for tickets to other shows. We circled back by the theatre 5 hours later and saw the same couple there, still first in line, waiting! And 2 hours later we ran into them as we headed into the play that goes wrong. They were getting tickets for the following day, and after 7 hours of waiting, had scored excellent seats to Hamilton. But at a cost of $235 each! They were exctatuc and we were quietly glad we had given up on that line early in the day.
June is pride month in the city. There were rainbows everywhere. On buildings, in every store window display, on people. The kids would have loved this! It really helped balance the overall general dirtiness of Times Square.
A pic of that for the kids, too. There’s just a lot of garbage everywhere. Both mornings, I picked up an extra bagel and cream cheese to go, to offer to the people on the streets perpetually searching through the trash cans. Surprisingly, my offer was refused every time.
Another funny sight in Times Square. There are no trees, so the cement benches are covered in bush patterns to look like box woods. 😂😂 I took these pics very early in the morning. That’s why there aren’t many people in them. Later in the day, it was a sea of bodies.
We tried to see Harry Potter, but even rush tickets were over $400 each. Nope!
Summer solstice yoga in the street.
FDNY standing out front by the engines giving autographs to tourists.

The mothership calling me home!
The best bagels in NYC
In general, I dislike Times Square. The energy is fun for 5 minutes, and it’s a necessary evil in order to get to broadway shows, but people in costumes aggressively trying to hug people for a picture then harassing them for money? That brings out my “stiff arm” and “do not touch me” side just as aggressively. I love Arkansas, fresh air, wildlife, and greenspace.
We spent too much time in the Nintendo store in the plaza for two adults with no children. I destroyed Aaron at Mariokart.
Dinner was delicious and worth the line. The play was amazing and our favorite thing of the whole New York Trip. Other than the pizzas. Alllll the pizzas! They’re the best! We walked 11.5 miles on Friday on 2 hours of airport bench sleep.

Needless to say, we crashed hard when when we finally called it a night at 1am!
