Thurs 5th November

Freaky German propaganda poster.
Warhol.
Salvadore Dali- small painting.
More Warhol.
Not sure who did this.
Or this.
View from Moma.

We went to Moma- the buildings design was great-lots of areas overlooking other floors giving the person looking down vertigo. Anyway we saw some pretty famous artwork.
After this we headed to St Patricks Cathedral for a look.
On from here to the Rockefeller Centre, and saw a few people on the ice rink.
It was quite cold today.

Tuesday 3rd November

A building that was owned by a famous banker- he also published a newspaper that would print photos of men who left there wives which was often enough to get the men to go back.
Picture of an old movie theatre waiting to be refurbished.
Guss's pickles- soon to be leaving the LES.

We went to the Lower East Side Tenement Museam and went on a walking tour of the area for about 90 mins. Immigrants thru the years would shift into this area and live in high density buildings- it was a good tour.

Monday 2nd November

Quite cold.

Saturday 31st Ocober

This is the Tarrytown Hall by the station.
A spiders web- can you see it?
Di and Carol all dressed up.
Greg and Di all Dressed up- don't ask me who I'm dressed up as tho.


I didn't get to see the All Blacks game but we won.
We caught the train to Nyack. It was my first time at Grand Central Station - very nice.
The ride up to Nyack was nice.
So we went to the the Halloween Parade in Nyack- as you can see we got dressed up for the occasion which many people did- I have a new found respect for actors or people who wear wigs as it was really uncomfortable and weird to wear! The parade itself was kinda lame in a funny kinda way- not many floats and they even had people walking in it who were spruiking themselves to be elected in the local elections. Not to worry as Ben had warned us.
The weather was mild tho a little damp. We went back to Carol's and took our wigs off and walked back to Nyack and went to this nice restaurant for dinner.
All up it was a nice night.

Friday 30th October

went to... Broadway and Soho...caught the subway to Broadway & Lafayette and walked down Broadway.
It was really busy, A Friday arvo seemed like Xmas on George Street. The intention was to have a look around Soho but we mostly checked out Uniqlo and Topshop which were really packed!
I'd had hoped to check out Uniqlo for a while and it was pretty good- packed with heaps of people stocking up on basics like jeans, tees and cashmere tops at good prices. I got a pair of work chinos and two basic tees.
We grabbed a bite and walked along Broome Street towards the West Village and home.
Since it was Friday we went out for dinner at a nearby place called Safran for dinner. It was a little more swanky than we thought but that didn't matter as we had a nice dinner- i had boneless roasted duck and Di had shrimp and grapefruit salad and roast duck rolls.
