On Friday at 2:00 PM, 52 hours before the wedding, Lily discovers Ted's list of things he wants to do in New York before he moves to Chicago.
At some point during their conversation, Lily and Robin reveal that they broke a 30-year-old Glen McKenna Ted reserved for his drink with Barney during a sword fight and tried faking whatever is left.
When they see Robin's great-grandparents are still ready to jump on each other even after 60 years of marriage, they stop worrying that their relationship will become dull and argumentative and decide to face their relatives.
Max Nicholson of IGN gave the episode a 7.0/10 rating claiming it "included a funny and sweet subplot for Ted and Lily, and not much else.
"[2] Popculturology's Bill Kuchman said, "Between last week's episodes and "Last Time in New York," Season 9 of HIMYM has felt less than a tight storyline and more like a series of vignettes punctuated by heartstring-tugging closing scenes.
