For my first visit to New York, it was a great experience. Even though it was a very busy time for their family, they made time to make me feel welcome. I had the opportunity to watch Alicia's husband perform with other musicians at a local place "Shine" and I enjoyed some great tapas and a walk on the high line with Alicia one evening. As I was out and about most of the time, it was easy to explore New York as it was only one block away from the Subway and the #1 train. It was really nice to have my own bathroom, a beautiful view of the Hudson River and a separate entrance right across from my room.
