We successfully escaped from the Playground room at The Escape Game in New York! It was a fun room with a wide variety of puzzles to solve. It took a while for us to get momentum, but with some time (and some clues) we got going and escaped with exactly 1 minute on the clock! Room 49!
Seeking some respite from the constant rain we decided to see Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. at the Regal Cinemas in Battery Park. It turns out in Manhattan movie theaters go up several floors. Tammy had fond memories of reading this book, and the movie was really good too.
Walking the High Line is now a tradition for any trip to New York. We hoped to find a break in the rain to make the walk but no break was to be found. We ended up getting off the path at Chelsea Market to explore and have lunch.
Other times on the High Line: 2012, 2018, 2023 (Tyler and I), 2023 (Tammy and I), and 2023 (Family).
Mazie gave a short recital at B&H Photo Video.
