In New York again...

[madbaker]

In the Waldorf this time. Definitely old architecture, of course; 12 foot ceilings in the rooms, although the rooms are small and my view is the set of rooms across the way. Nice art deco elevators and a mail slot built into the door.

The flight was unexceptional, which is good. I used my frequent flier miles to upgrade to first class so I actually got food and legroom... I was one of the first off the plane, which in the cosmic karma scheme of things meant that I got my luggage nearly last. Oh well.

Dinner at the hotel steakhouse; quite good. Not as stodgy as some of the NY steakhouses I went to two weeks ago. I ended up chatting with the 75-year-old sitting next to me, which was more entertaining than I might have thought.

I realized that I forgot to pack my deodorant. I should be able to find a drugstore nearby (I wouldn't necessarily bet that the Waldorf has anything as downscale as deodorant...)

To bed soon, I think. I miss the wife and cat.

I'd bet they do; it's one of those necessary personal grooming items that hotels keep in stock, like spare shaving kits, and such. Of course, you'll probably be paying the equivilant of a room service price for it. Either that, or it'll be complimentary. The fancier hotels will waver between the two extremes.

I'd agree, and I'd bet (depending on who's paying the bill) it would be free. Or, $5 for a tiny sample-size deodorant. Like $6 for a 12 oz bottle of water.
