There are many ways to “do” New York City — this has been my fanciest yet.

I’ve been frequenting the big city since my mid-teens because I love theatre and New York, New York is a helluva town for just that. When I was in school, I would take the overnight bus from Toronto, stay at a hostel, and eat only bagels. Now, decades later, I prefer the flight and nice hotel combo but still dive face-first into whole wheat everything with chive schmear — I also can appreciate finer dining.
