Like I said in the previous post, I’m sharing more of our time at MoMA.

There were some items that I was blown away that were on display. Like this one, its basically four colored panels.

This is made from newspaper clippings, pretty cool.

Performance 4 is the name of this ongoing exhibition. It started as blank room (4 walls) and an employee of MoMA writes the name, height, and date of visit of any visitor. From far away it just looks like chicken scratch, but you see thousands of names. In the second photo you can see it a little closer. The line was fairly long and my feet were hurting so we didn’t participate but I knew I’d be in that black mess.

Compressed cardboard lounge chair. I was more than willing to take a load off on this thing.

Not only did we do all that I’ve blogged about, but we also went to see Next to Normal on Broadway. I liked it, fun music, although a heavy topic (mom w/bipolar disorder). That rounds out the total of Broadway plays to 5. I’m hoping to make that number much higher before we leave the east.

This is a little late as it was almost two weeks ago, but I wanted to come back and revisit our second day in NYC.

Our room at the Best Western President Hotel. It was just perfect for us until we fell asleep that night. Our window was on the side of the street and right next door to the fire department. We got woken up several times from firetrucks or the garbage truck. The joys of staying in NYC.

We took the subway over to Grand Central Station. It was my first experience there and its more than breathtaking.

After Grand Central, we went to the Museum of Modern Art. The first three photos are from an exhibit Projects 90: Song Dong. Its all the items that came from his mother’s house, collected over 50 years, including the hut structure. It was incredible to see all of it laying out.

I’m going to be posting more photos from MoMA tomorrow.

A lastly we stopped at Crumbs Bakery. Red Velvet Cupcake. YUM!!

Anthony & I are currently in NYC for two days. We decided this on a whim last week and here we are. Just a few from today. We went down Wall Street, rode the Staten Island Ferry, walked around Times Square, had dinner at Schnippers (great sloppy joes across from the Port Authority Bus Station), and saw Next to Normal. A few photos from today. Tomorrow its suppose to be rainy so we’re gonna do the Museum of Modern Art.
