I was just at W57 over the weekend and had a great time in NYC, as usual. My flight was early and I hopped on the AirTrain and E subway train to 7th and 53rd. I was meeting friends from Oregon, and we all ended up on the same AirTrain. What are the odds?! They arrived into Terminal 2 and I arrived into Terminal 7. Great timing! They were staying at the Courtyard Marriott, not too far away. We met for dinner at Trattoria Del'Arte on 7th at 57th (part of the Elevated Rewards discount program and one of my favorite places). I went to Whole Foods first for a few items and also to the Neil Simon Theatre to pick up our Cher Show tickets (fun and entertaining show, by the way!) before dinner. Everything is so close and convenient!
Weather was *super* cold and clear. I saw four other shows--The Jungle at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn (great), To Kill a Mockingbird at the Shubert (riveting and so well done), Waverly Gallery at the Golden (Elaine May broke my heart and deserves a Tony, she gives a must-see performance), and Lifespan of a Fact at Studio 54 (front row with Daniel Radcliffe right there! Great acting, somewhat tedious story, but done well).
I can't wait to go back. Love the W57 location, rooms, and staff. Debating whether I should dare try for the end of January/early February. I hear that the weather is awful. But there are so many shows I have to see...
Oh, I often eat at Astro Restaurant for breakfast and did not realize that they are part of Elevated Rewards, too! I could have been saving $2 earlier!
