My company's CEO was going to be presenting at a conference in New York City, so I convinced my boss, the CFO, that I needed to go to see how the roadshow team does their work. After all, I head off to London once a year to give presentations, so it seemed logical that I should see in person how the leader of our company goes about delivering our story.
And because I really wanted to go to New York City for a few days before that.
I invited my mother along.
She had never been. So I thought it would be fun to show her the city and have a little mother-daughter time with a few musicals anchoring each day's activities.
Our itinerary was jam packed. But not as much as my mother's luggage.
Day 1: Dinner at Barbuto, Book of Mormon musical (which was AWESOME!), my mom's first subway ride, and Times Square (to which my mother said "oh, this is it?"
That same evening, I met up with colleagues for a drink as they arrived into town and then next morning started early with meetings.
I wanted my mom to really have a NYC experience - lots of walking, crazy cab ride, subway ride, good food, broadway show - and I think I succeeded in putting together an itinerary that was entertaining, touristy with a touch of local flare, and manageable. I can't wait to go back! I love visiting New York City!
