| After a smooth bus ride into NYC, Onions and I spent the evening walking along the Brooklyn Bridge and the Promenade. Here's a picture of the Manhattan Bridge with the Empire State Building in the background. |
 |
| Listening to my podcasts in China, I heard about the new burger place called the Shake Shack. We tried out the burgers (REAL MEAT, at least I think) and the shakes and concretes. I can see why it's a popular spot. |
 |
| Manhattan Twilight |
 |
| New York Bagel, a first. He liked his first bagel. |
 |
| An afternoon was spent at the Met. We toured (tried to at least) the entire first level. |
 |
| That's dedication to getting the perfect shot! |
 |
| Having studied Art History in Italy....I had a lot of context for the Egyptian, Greek and Renaissance art. Egyptian here. |
 |
| Temple of Dendur |
 |
| Canova, my favorite sculptor. |
 |
| The rear view might be even better. |
 |
| Rodin's "The Burghers of Calais" |
 |
| Not really a painting or modern painting fan, but I connected to this painting. |
 |
| After a morning and afternoon in the Met, we spent an hour walking around Central Park. |
 |
| We were lucky to catch my friend Jennifer for an hour at her house. |
 |
| The view from her home on 5th Avenue |
 |
| We ended the day with a twilight cruise around the tip of Manhattan. Here's the new World Trade Center. |
 |
| Onions first pretzel....he wasn't a fan. Our final stop of the day was Chinese food in Chinatown. Unfortunately, we were hungry and just popped into the first restaurant we found....bad call. |
