Fun Day NYC Touristness

Just decided to go on up and see the Met. Took the subway up to 81st Street and then wandered for half an hour through Central Park to the Museum. I especially wanted to look at the paintings and zoomed in on the Modern Art Collection. Do take a look at the page and see some of the art. I especially think of Cali with this one (okay, with any Matisse piece - and there are many in that collection). There was a special exhibit of Diane Arbus' photography which was awesome! We spent about 2hrs at the museum and then decided to find us some food. Jim thought there was a great little vegetarian restaurant on 86th St and Lexington so we walked the 15 minutes over there.. and over some more... and a bit more... So then we found a nice looking Greek restaurant to go to and had some yummy bread, red pepper something or other, shared greek salad, and a lovely fish dish with feta and peppers and onions and veggies.

After we ate we wandered over to the East River and walked along the pathway down to the 59th Street Bridge and then in to Lexington. At that point we grabbed a cab home and caught the final Next Top Model and American Idol. I feel it has been a full day *wink*

In other news, I've never actually eaten dates before other than in something. Sounds rather unimportant except that Jim bought a container of dates and ate one only to have the thought "ohmygod, these are as good as date squares.. if not better because I'm not eating dessert, I'm eating fruit!" Why couldn't I have figured this out before? So yeah, my new dessert. Good think I come to these big cities to figure out high culture stuff like the fact I love dates.

Go wild girl.
