Did my pre-flight planning on Friday night, and the weather looked ok to head up to NYC on Saturday morning. After researching all the options, I decided the easiest and least hassle would be to go to Teterboro (fees weren't too bad). Unfortunately, the weather was MVFR in many areas, so we wouldn't be doing the Hudson SFRA on the way in, but I hoped that we could catch it on our departure. We filed IFR and set off for NYC. NY Approach wasn't terribly busy and I had a pretty easy approach and landing at Teterboro. Teterboro wasn't very busy on this particular day and tower and ground were even combined up. The staff at Meridian were super friendly. I looked at the Progs again and decided we'd stay 2 nights, so we booked a place near Times Square and we quickly got an Uber into the city. We had a wonderful time walking around NYC and saw two Broadway shows. (Phantom, my wife's favorite, and the Harry Potter show) We took it easy in NYC since my wife's company is based there and we visit often enough, but it was beautiful weather and we had a great time. We ended our trip at the Top of the Rock at sunset, which was a great view.
