The woman had my sympathy, since there were only two clerks processing licences that day – my fiancĂ©e and I spent less time on our Porter flight from Toronto to Newark, N.J., than we did at City Hall.

Where to Stay
The Loews Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue) is two blocks from Central Park and nearby to hair salons and florists. The Ritz-Carlton in Battery Park (Two West Street) is minutes from the new bureau and has a wedding concierge on staff.
Adjust yourselves accordingly.
