My brother has an apartment in New York, and he was out of town, so we took it over for the week! He lives on the upper west side which is a nice area. If you were coming to stay in a hotel and wanted to do broadway I recommend you just try and get a place downtown Manhattan near the district. It is very easy here, however to get around on the subway. It takes us about 10 min to 42nd street, I am on 81st between broadway and amsterdam. We saw Mary Poppins with the kids Wednesday night, it was amazing, but I hear that Wicked is one of the big deals here. We might consider tickets for tonight for that as well. I LOVE NEW YORK!
