Today Show Plaza

I've been a big fan of the Today Show since high school.  Since we were staying in Midtown, there way no reason not to get over to stand in the Plaza for a Meet and Greet.  It was fun to get a glimpse of the behind the scenes set up, and see the Today Show Hosts in person.

It was a relatively quiet morning in February, so there wasn't a lot of people there, which was rare. 

Unfortunately, Matt Lauer was gone for the day, but Carl Quintanilla from CNBC was filling in with Ann Curry.  Ann's always a favorite since was was a former Oregon Duck, having graduated from The University of Oregon.  Carl gives a good interview on his morning show, 'Squawk on the Street.'

After their segments, the hosts were generous with their time, and mingled with the crowd.  I was surprised at how tiny Ann was, and how high her heels were!

Nice to scratch that off the Bucket List.
