NYC Daytripping...WOW Experience

Had a long, but very fun daytrip this past Wednesday in NYC. I love New York, but never enjoy the "pushy people" and attitudes of the New Yorkers. Boy was I ever surprised by this trip. My husband and I went with another couple from our church who are from NY so they really knew the ropes... so we let them plan the whole day. Of all the things to do, we chose this time to see a Yankee game, nice dinner and squeeze in a broadway play...and of course my first time on the Megabus. The Megabus experience was really great...esp. the price...$37.00 round trip for my husband and I. Comfortable, clean BR, perfect temperature...not one negative thing at all. Even the people on the subway, smiled, offered up there seats and actually made eye contact!
My first trip to the new stadium is where the WOWS continued. People walking up asking"How may I help you",..."Hello Welcome to Yankee Stadium...at every level. Our seats ($75.0o ea) were totally shaded, under cover and very comfortable. Good thing for that price! Arriving early so my husband and I could see the museum and Hall of Fame...we rushed to get in what we could before gametime. As we approached the line for the Hall, one usher said , "sorry line is closed", but another female usher said "Are you from out of town....then go ahead". While I was looking at all of the signed baseballs, I was asked if I needed help finding a ball. An usher greeted us and pulled the seat out for us. A young man in the 7th inning just stopped by to ask if we needed anything and how our day was!!! At that point I had to check what city I was in and pinch myself. The only bad part was the girl who sold me my lelmonade (rude, curt and no eye contact), and witnessing Alex Rodriquez (whom I loathe) hit his 600th HR! Only the 7th player in MLB to do so...the good news is that the lemonade was fresh squeezed ($5.00) and I got to be part of MLB history. I am so impressed by the fans...they love their Yankees, and let them know every opportunity from singing songs to each player upon introduction to, applauding every strike, out or hit! And the stadium is sold out every game!
We had a lovely Mexican dinner at Tolouache's, tequila shots and dessert on the house, then a wonderful time at the Kerr Theatre for "A Little Night Music"...which we had to leave 10 minutes fbefore the ending to catch the Megabus Home. Even the bus facillitator allowed us to board way before any one else, because my friend was older and walked with a cane. The crown in line (from D.C.) bboed and hissed, and the facillitator said "I don't know what you all do in D. C. but here on the NY Megabus we let handicapped people and seniors board first. I was very proud of him!
So...I've turned the corner on dissing NYC people...they were lovely and I can't wait till next trip so I can see if they keep up the good work!
