What an incredible day!! We had a lunch date with my college friend and roommate, Ashley, who was in town from San Fransisco. Jonathan and I walked to the train station and got tickets. Turned out the train was 45 minutes late!! But, we finally managed to get onboard. Then, we took the subway (E train) and walked a couple of blocks to the Waldorf. What a hotel! I have definitely been there before, but I'm not sure why. We found Ash and asked the concierge for a family-friendly recommendation for lunch. He sent us to a hoity-toity French restaurant, but we decided to give it a try since it was way too cold to be outside. Jonathan was simply amazing. There were business meetings going on all around us, and lots of snears initially. But, I'm not sure anyone knew he was actually there. He barely made a peep for 1.5 hrs! Once he finally did get restless, we packed ourselves up, walked back to the Waldorf, got Ash's bags, and jumped into a cab. It was only about 3 blocks for us, but it was nice to be warm! Then, we took the E train back to Penn Station and the train back home. And, still, Jonathan was absolutely perfect even though we were well beyond his nap time. I was so proud of him.
