Ross, Holly and I rode the train north toward the Cloisters, stopping along the way at a Dominican bakery for egg sandwiches, pastries, and hot, milky coffee. We wandered up and down wooded hills before finally coming up to the Cloisters. Pictures to be posted later - this was wonderful.
Hours later we found the train again and parted ways; Ross and I rode the train downtown to the Empire State Building and stood in at least seven different lines on the way to the top. So much of the original building is covered up with cheap facades! Just to efficiently shuttle tourists through. But still, kick-ass. Pictures to follow.
Then a celebratory beer, and a walk to the MoMA, which is free on Fridays between 4 and 8 p.m. It was very busy, but very amazing. Pictures later! How things have changed at museums - they all let you take pictures, but no flash, and no video. But people are using flash and video anyway. Ah well. Marvelous show of design - incredible display of chairs and objects. Light installations. Photography show is amazing. Also lots of modern art that makes me snort with disgust and think, "Why am I not doing that? Cause I could do way better!"
Holly and Noah joined us and we all went to an Italian place for dinner. By the time we got back to their apartment we were nearly ready for sleep - but first, sweet-potato pies and mango ice cream!
