Location of Friday evening concert, St. Paul the Apostle Church.
The excitement on the buses really started to build as soon as we could see the New York City Skyline!
Checking 200 people into a hotel takes some time, but once room keys were handed out and luggage was sorted, the singers were free to go out to dinner and/or do some sight seeing. The temperature was mild and there are many restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, so small groups headed out. Decisions, decisions! Food selections varied from food cart lamb kabobs, to Thai food, to New York Pizza, to Little Italy Italian, to a trendy Mexican outdoor cafe. Some singers went exploring the area and found the church, St. Paul the Apostle, where they will be singing tomorrow, and Lincoln Center, where they will be singing on Sunday. Singers were warned not to stay up too late, as the call times are early. Chamber Choir is first to rehearse tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. (which will feel like 6 a.m.!)
