Today I was looking forward to visiting the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). I'd carefully planned to do this on the Monday, thinking it would be nice an quiet. Turns out it's heaving.
We don't stay long as we find the crowds too distracting. I went to the photography section. There were inspirational pictures by Bill Brandt and Richard Avedon. The picture below, taken from the design section looking down on the sculpture garden was taken just after seeing photos by them.
We then walked over to Bloomingdale's. Becky wanted to see why it was so well known and to look for a little gift for the boys. It's not that kind of shop. We take the subway down to our next choice of place to see, Chinatown. Walking through this district and taking in Little Italy on the way to the Lower East side and finally on to Greenwich village was probably the highlight of our trip. The place is full of larger than life characters and cool shops. We stop at the Tenement museum and Peanut Butter and Co. as well as watching the basketball in one of the public courts. The day finished well with happy hour at a recommended Tex Mex restaurant. Margaritas, beers, tequila's and tacos seated at the bar. Then home to bed in preparation for our early flight home the next day.
