Day Four in NYC - 9/24

Today we decided to sleep late and enjoy our apartment a bit. We are on the first floor overlooking Michael and Catherine's garden outside their apartment on the ground floor.




We headed out around noon and took the subway up to the Upper East Side.


We had lunch at Candle Cafe. I had the Seitan with Quinoa and Steamed Greens with mole sauce and Ben had Focaccia and a huge salad.


After lunch it was only a short walk west to the Metropolitan Museum of Art which covers over 2 acres of land on 5th Avenue and is right on the edge of Central Park. The mansions along 5th Avenue overlooking Central Park are simply amazing. We were definitely in a nice neighborhood.

The Met is so overwhelming. A person could spend a month there and not see everything. We took the hour long Museum Highlights tour which was just perfect. Unfortunately, many of the photos just did not turn out well but here are a few.




After the tour we headed up to the museum's rooftop garden and shot some photos of the city from up there. The green fluffy stuff is tops of trees in Central Park which backs up to the museum.




This evening I took another class at Yamuna Studio in Greenwich


while Ben checked out a local pizza joint. Greenwich Village is easily becoming our favorite part of the city and fortunately just a short walk south from Chelsea.
The forecast for tomorrow is cooler fall weather and we hope to spend the day in Central Park.
