A few weeks ago, I checked my United Premier status. I realized that after decades of having Premier status, I was about to lose my status. No Premier check-in line? I had to pay for checked bags? No Economy Plus? I cannot think of anything worst, I needed to take a few trips before the end of the year and I love New York, flights were reasonable, weather this time of year is not too hot and not too cold and I would earn a lot of miles. Off to New York City it was.
It was an early morning to get an 6:00 AM flight. I landed at Newark, NY around 2:30 PM and took the train to Penn Station. By the time we got settled in, it was time for dinner. We decided on Boqueria, a Spanish tapas restaurant in the lobby of the AC hotel which we stayed in the last time we went to NYC.
Sophon is a Nintendo fan while I am an Xbox fan. Every time we go to NYC we go to the one and only Nintendo world store in the Rockefeller center. Although I am an Xbox person, I love the Nintendo store. Sophon picked up a new t-shirt in addition to purchasing a replacement t-shirt for one of the t-shirts that he was worn out. We played a few games on the big screen and then headed out..
As we left the Nintendo store, I pointed out to Sophon that Glenn Close was walking down the sidewalk towards us. I figured she was headed into the NBC building, Sophon was convinced she was going to the Nintendo store. She was much shorter than I would have imagined but she looked like a million dollars and had a lot of charisma. You couldn’t help walk past her and not notice her!
