Ill try to be brief...
I hadn't been to Manhattan since 1980 where I spent 2 weeks
peering out a little glass window in the back of a NYC EMS truck as part of
NEU's Paramedic program. Boy, how the city has cleaned up, seems very safe
and New Yorkers smile and are even pleasant. Salute' Mayor Giuliani!
We spent a wild and whacky 4 days in Manhattan's famed
Pennsylvania Hotel (Amtrak vacation from the Cape *cheap too!). Didn't even
need a cab once. Had a blast on the tour -I won an autographed pin and a
|Yada, Yada, Yada| bumpersticker. We laff'd our cans off for nearly 4 hours.
Met devoted Seinfans from Europe and Australia. The K-man, Bobby (The
Armenian Comedian) and Mario (bus driver) were all gracious and
accomodating.
I expected an old Partridge Family schoolbus but was surprised
to see a sparkling clean luxury coach with plush seats and closed circuit
monitors thruout. The tour of the show locations including Kenny's snippets
and wonderful trivia questions (So bone up) -with many prizes was fabulous
and the 'built-in' tour of Manhattan was an added bonus! Had to have seen
over 25 show related sites alone.
We all went back to Kenny's apt bldg for delicious NY
pizza -Didn't have to stick our hands in 350* ovens, soda and a surprise for
desert (fork optional). Where Kenny answered all our questions calling the
tour 'LIFE imitating ART imitating LIFE' or something close to that and
provided advice on other things to see in that fabulous city.
Hard to sum up the day but it was almost like being on the show
or as my son put it "Dad, that was a tour about nothing." :) We all look
forward to going back to NYC and certainly on the tour next Spring.Bravo Kenny, Steve, Cheryl and Mike Falletti Yarmouth Port, Ma.
