Same here. Actually we stayed in this hotel just once, but I've stood in that (Broadway) TKTS line that was in the lobby of one of the Towers (South Tower?) more times that I can remember.
We stayed in this Marriott some time around 1995. This may sound crazy, but I was worried about staying there at the time because of the 1993 terrorist bombing. I was always afraid that area - including the Marriott - would be hit again in some way, because the huge Twin Towers seemed like such a big target... and there's the Marriott in between the two of them. I never envisioned what ended up happening on 9/11/01 though...
Oh my gosh, you too? At the time I had a subscription to weekly Variety and it listed the shows that were playing and had reviews of them. When we'd fly to NY I'd take the latest issue with me and we'd go through it as we stood in line. It was on the mezzanine of 1WTC (the north tower). Sometimes the line was so long we'd give up and go back the next time we had a break (we were there on business in the south tower). We got to see some great shows and some real stinkers, too. :-)
