So the move went spectacularly. Traffic coming to the Bronx was miserable (seriously the worst I've seen in a while). And it wasn't a problem in the city, is was all well before even approaching the Tappan Zee Bridge. But exhausted we made it to the new place.
The next day (Monday) was stressful but everything worked out great. The ABF people arrived with my crates at 9:45 am, and within five minutes the movers were there. The worry was that the crates wouldn't arrive until noon and the movers would be waiting around forever, making me pay overtime charges. But that didn't happen and right when they finished (half an hour early, and sweatier than I'd seen anyone in a while--thank God we didn't do it, given the fifth floor walk-up issue).
Now I'm largely unpacked, and there's a few things I really still need to get, but it's all good. Tonight we took a break from the week of unpacking (after dealing with this in Rochester) and went to see A Little Night Music on Broadway. This revival used to have Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones but now it has Elaine Stritch and Bernadette Peters. It was pretty awesome (as is most of Sondheim's stuff), and a great deal because we got student tickets (thankfully C's ID has an ID that expires in 2013) for $27 a piece.
One thing to get used to is living so far from the theater district. Via subway (and bus) it's about an hour, and would probably be longer during late nights. Once I get settled on campus I'll probably start taking their van that goes between the Bronx campus and Lincoln center, as it's only 30 minutes, and generally runs fairly frequently.
Alrighty, perhaps a little more unpacking before bed.
