Day 7: Lincoln Centre

Staying in a hotel on Times Square can be a pain with all the tourists making it slow to walk the short distance from the subway but it makes the whole of New York accessible from a single subway ride without the need for change. So, we took the short ride uptown to the Lincoln Centre to collect our tickets to War Horse. We were very early to reduce the possibility of anything ruining our last evening so sat in the cafe among a crowd of New York septegenarians waiting for the Opera. The accents were all old time Hollywood (possibly even Woody Allen) and not the voices we hear generally on the streets. One of them asks if the seats by us are free so we nod and also clear our drinks from his side of the table. The man responds with a reply that seemed so in character, "I only need the seat, not the whole table". I laughed.
