This was a weeklong pre-16th birthday trip to NYC with my daughter.
Having lived in Queens many years ago, I knew we had to be based in Manhattan to maximize our time.
Ruth’s home fit the bill perfectly — safe, private, on the 2nd Ave line and so many more prosaic details I could expand upon. But that’d be boring!
In essence, the incredible memories created on this very special trip began the moment our hostess graciously greeted us into her home.
Thank you, Ruth.
