The week before last I took a little break and flew to Connecticut to visit my daughter. She lives in New Haven and from there we took the train into New York City for a mother/daughter weekend.
We had a blast! We stayed at the Paramount Hotel in the theater district. It was a tiny room with twin beds, but it was clean and affordable, by NYC standards. We were walking distance to everything we had planned for the weekend.
We decided on the trip to NYC because we wanted to see the off-broadway production of "Sideways". We are both big fans of the movie and were curious to see how it translated on stage.
The theater was small and intimate. Every seat was great and we enjoyed the show.
We ended the night with a bottle of wine at a sweet little French restaurant, Le Rivage. The bartender and waiters all spoke French and French music played quietly in the background. The dinner crowd was gone, and it was the perfect place to unwind after our long day.
