We went to a matinee in order to see the one play we hoped to be special. It involved actors and life-sized puppets of horses and ended up being emotional, convincing and beautifully done. The theater in Lincoln Center was small and intimate and we all loved the experience.
Coming out of the theater and keen for more, we phoned to try to buy last minute tickets to the Lion King for one last play. It was sold out except for three scattered tickets - $200 each. We decided to give it a miss and just enjoy the memory of War Horse.
We then submerged into the subway to try to get up into Harlem to see the Cathedral of St John the Divine - the largest cathedral in North America. The guide book said it was closed at 7:00. We got there at 6:30 to find the doors locked - new hours. We tried to walk around it but were discouraged by security. Still got an impression of its incredible size and appearance. It was begun in 1892 and is still only two-thirds finished. During its history, the style changed from Roman to Gothic. The north and south transepts have not been built yet but once the funds are raised, it will take another fifty years to complete and then be the largest Cathedral in the world.
It was getting dark by then so we again headed for the subway to find a New York Deli for supper - ended up to be nothing special - had hamburgers and spaghetti.
We left the restaurant late as always for the subway, train, and bus home with one more day to go....
