Ok. Today was simply amazing. But I am going to start at the beginning.
DAY 1
Tuesday morning, we woke up at 3 AM at the LAX Doubletree. We were at the airport by 4AM, and in the air at 6:00 AM. The flight was supposed to take just over 5 1/2 hours. However to our surprise the pilot announced that due to an exceptional tail wind, we would arrive an hour early at JFK. To this point we were already commenting on how everything was going so smoothly. Almost eerily so. We arrived in style at the Marriott Marquis, and met Amy at the Front Desk. I quickly worked my charm, and she upgraded us to a corner room, with floor to ceiling windows, that offered an incredible view of Times Square. Well after cleaning up and unpacking, we left the hotel to enjoy dinner at an incredible place called Junior's. This place is terrific. Sergio ordered Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes with gravy. The meatloaf was ok, but the mashed potatoes were so good, that you almost feel guilty eating them. I still dont know what they put in them, but it was heaven on a plate. I ordered a Corned Beef and Pastrami Sandwich. It was delicious and had an ample supply of meat. I will try to place pictures of the food below this. After we ate dinner, we headed off to see our first broadway show, In the Heights. It was so much better than we could have hoped for. We were hooked on this city after the first night. Afterwards, we explored a bit of Times Square, and enjoyed a late night buffet in the revolving restaraunt atop our hotel on the 48th floor. The restaraunt revolved, offering a view of the city, that was very nice. We headed back to the hotel and passed out from exhaustion around 1 AM. More to come for Day 2!!!

The food looks good. What is sticking out of the mashed potatoes? It looks like a fried fish tail. I'd say that was the secret ingredient, but you probably noticed it.
