Wednesday was a busy day in New York. We started out riding into Port Authority and walking up to Rockefeller Center where we saw NBC studios, the GE building, and Radio City Music Hall. Jon had his picture taken at Dunder Mifflin, and we looked for Tracey Morgan and Tina Fey but they weren’t around.
We made our way to the MoMA just after it opened. It has six floors with installations and exhibits of photography, architecture, painting, sculpture, digital media, printing and book making. We really enjoyed seeing Picasso’s works and those of Matisse, Warhol, and Van Gogh. The digital media only had a handful of exhibits but were some of the most interesting and enjoyable. I think computers are going to bring art into a new realm of interactive exhibits that can change and adapt to the viewer. It’s exciting to see the beginnings of this at the MoMA.
We ate lunch at a place that was probably a chain with an utterly forgettable name like “Le Bistro,” but it was really good and full of folks on their lunch break so I feel like it was a good decision. They had stations with make your own salad, sushi, Chinese food, hot and cold sandwiches, and pizza.
The rest of the day was transportation themed. We went to Grand Central Station, Times Square, and Port Authority. We found ourselves trapped by traffic in Newark, so we hung out at the hotel until things cleared out a bit on the George Washington Bridge. We got a good start on the drive home and stopped near Hartford, Conn. Thursday we head back to New Hampshire and to the puppies!
