A Busy Weekend in New York

Apparently I wasn't the only one who decided to visit New York this weekend! Just a few things were happening this weekend in New York, including -- the US Open, September 11th Memorial, New York Fashion Week, Broadway on Broadway showing live musicals in the middle of Times Square, MTV's VMA Awards (which seemed to create the most havoc in the city), and just to wrap things up, Obama made an appearance on Wall Street on Monday and shut down JFK airport on his way out.

New York does seem to be in the middle of all the action and it's never more apparent until you're right in the middle of it! I met a friend in Times Square for the Broadway on Broadway event, which brought in all the season's Broadway productions for a free live concert for thousands of guests. As part of the finale, confetti was shot high into the air over Times Square. It looked like colorful snow raining down through the high rises. As we left the show, we continued to see confetti for blocks away from Times Square. I can now imagine what New Year's is like in the Square....and the post-celebration clean-up that ensues!
