We took the train from Lancaster to Penn Station. It was great!
Here's Mommy in Times Square. When they arrived, it was a drizzly sort of day, not wonderful for sightseeing, so they decided to do a show. Mommy stood in line at the TKTS booth while Daddy checked into the hotel, which was awesomely just 100 yards away! (PS. the M&Ms store was just across the street too!) Daddy was able to check in, drop our luggage and make it back just as Mommy got to the ticket window. 
After feasting on some cheese and crackers in the gorgeous hotel room, they headed out to the matinee. They were early... just early enough to stop at the bar next to the theater for a pre-show drink.
They saw Guys and Dolls. For Mommy it had Lauren Graham from "The Gilmore Girls" as Adelaide and for Daddy, Nathan Detroit was played by Oliver Platt, who did a extended guest star turn on "The West Wing". So it was a win-win and a good show to boot!
Dinner: They decided to eat the girls college funds at this steakhouse. :) Steak for two: 1.5 inch thick porterhouse that was just amazing. And there were waitstaff everywhere! Daddy got up to use the facilities and someone immediately swooped in to fold his napkin. Very yummy!
But the fun thing was getting there. The rain had stopped and it was a beautiful night for a walk. They saw Bryant Park where crews were dismantling the tents from Fashion Week, the Public Library and Grand Central Station. And they took the time to find a hidden gem the concierge told them about. Inside Grand Central is a little wine bar called Campbell's Apartment, that was an office of a friend of Vanderbilt when the station was built. It was gorgeous!
