For dinner Thursday night, Donna took me to a nice Indian restaurant in her old neighborhood in the Village. We had some Samosas for appetizer. I ordered the Vegetable Curry. Deelish! Donna ordered some kind of lamb dish, I think.

After dinner, we went to see Stomp! Oh. My. Gosh. IT was great! I had some idea of the rhythmic nature of it, but I had no idea how much more it was to just see it in person. The expressions and body gestures made the performance even greater! Donna's feet caught the bug and was doing some stomping on our way home.

My feet were so sore this night. Donna got us a cab and we rode back to the hotel that way. This is the outside of Grand Central Station, which we passed on the way.

The hotel that night was a nice surprise from Donna. She managed to score us a deluxe room at The Pod. This one had a double bed with a private shower and bathroom. Our first two nights in NYC we stayed at the Pod in a bunk bed room with share showers and bathrooms down the hall. Our third night we had to switch hotels because the Pod was booked up. We stayed at Hotel 31, which was quite old and a bit scary. Donna was having great troubles dealing with the mis-matched wallpaper on the walls, and the burgundy window blinds. The bathroom was also down the hall, but rather than sparkly mod fixtures like the Pod, this one had an old tub, scary stained toilet, and those same burgundy blinds. We were happy to check out at 7am that morning and move our bags back to the Pod for our final night in NYC.
