NYC, Day Five

Mother's Day.

First one without my mother.

But I got to spend it with my baby boy. 

He treated us to brunch at a little place in his neighborhood.

Then we went to The Museum of the Moving Image.

(just as a side note - it was windy, rained and was in the 40s all day)

Life mask and dental plumper - Marlon Brando in The Godfather (1972)

  Is your first lunch box in there? Mine's not. I've never seen mine anywhere and I always look when I see a collection. 

 They had a special exhibit dedicated to Jim Henson

This is only a small portion of the Muppets that were on display.

After the museum we walked around the neighborhood and looked in some of the little shops before going back to our hotel to dry out.

Then we went to watch Game of Thrones with friends of Jason. 

I personally have never seen an episode and spent the time playing on my phone but I could hear them over my earbuds - they were into it!

That's then end of day five. 

Only one more day to go.

NYC - Day Four

Day four we were on our own and had two destinations to make before meeting back up with Jason so we hit the subway.

Destination number one!

Cool wooden escalators.

After Macy's we walked to destination number two.

This guy jumped and yelled just as I walked by - scared the crap out of me.

Lots of cool buildings. They were taking wedding photos outside this beautiful church.

This building just happened to be next door to destination number two. 

Destination number two! Spent quite a bit of time here just looking - I did come out with a small box. 

More walking

and more cool buildings.

I've always been fascinated by this building when I see it on tv or in the movies.

And that's where we met back up with baby boy.

Then we met up with a friend of Jason's for dinner - I don't remember the restaurant but they had this cool light fixture.

After dinner, we went to a play at the Hudson Theatre.

That made for a full day. 

Back to the subway and back to our hotel.

NYC, Day Three, part two

After Central Park we headed to The Met

 

There is so much to see there

We spent several hours 

and still did not see it all

 

   

In addition to the normal 'museum' displays

 

 there was the just strange stuff

yes?

There was a special exhibit dedicated to rock 'n roll

notice the price of tickets to see The Beatles! 

Then there was this little guy outside. He (slowly) made his way across the street and back.

Lots of pictures, I know, and I'm only posting a few of the many we took!

Sorry about the last ones being wonky - they looked right in my preview. Hopefully these will be better!

More to come!

NYC, Day Three, Part One

Day three started with brunch outside - this cute little couple on a bench was across the street from the where we ate.

After brunch we headed to Central Park

It's hard to believe this is right in the middle of the city

Lots of bridges in the park 

It started to rain on us

so we ducked in under this bridge - it came with entertainment

                                                

We only saw a small portion of the park. 

Someday we will have to return and explore more!

More photos to come - I'm trying not to overload any single post.
