A Week In The Big Apple — 2 years ago
Sorry it’s taken me a while to write about our week in NYC, but part of the time I’ve been uploading around 180 pictures of the city to my Flickr account, and I’ve also written several blog entries about it starting with this one.
Highlights included: (1) going up the Empire State Building by day and by night to take some pictures I’m really pleased with; (2) visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art (where they actually let you take photos of the artworks as long as you don’t use flash); (3) going to see Mel Brooks’ musical “The Producers” for half price; (4) visiting the American Museum of Natural History and the Rose Center for Earth and Space; (5) visiting Brooklyn Bridge, the Ground Zero site and Central Park.
Slight disappointments were: (1) how small our Manhattan hotel room was (despite the hotel being the dearest we’d ever stayed in); (2) visiting the Guggenheim Museum (didn’t get a good look at the outside of the building because it’s being renovated; staff were stuffy and unhelpful; can’t take a lot of what passes as modern art seriously).
Overall though was a great week and I would go back again, though probably not for several years.
