They had a massive armor exhibit at the met. It was so neat to see all the differences in helmets. Only one of hundreds of body suits gad that protrusion. Wonder what it says about the owner? I would think you wouldn't want to make a target out of it by drawing attention to it.

What kind of advertisement is that for an ass?

The chelsea market had so many awesome food shops including a seafood market that had a multitude of oysters you could get shucked on the spot.

I didn't love it like the met but it was interesting. Part of it was that we went when it was free and a madhouse.

I had seen many of the peices before which also made it not as exciting and I'm not a huge fan of paintings in general.

I definately prefer design amd art with more of a physical purpose. Say architecture, furniture, clothing etc. That beind said I really liked the picture if the men fighting.

At thr met they had this wax fruit centerpeice from the 1800s. It was so interesting to see the fruit was anything but perfect. With my experience from the pear tree, I can tell you that bruised, super ripe, juicy fruit tastes the best. But imagine if this was made now. People would instead think it was disgusting. In fact, I bet most people would through fruit that looked like that out. According to the placard, the fruit was all actually cast from real fruit.

Yesterday I needed a wool hat and scarf. Today I am barefoot and shirtless out in the sun.

Last night we went to times square. I cannot believe how big some of the video screens are. I didn't even know they made high def video screens at that size.

There were so many people. The giant QA codes were cool because you could scan them from blocks away. At least with my phone you could.

Strangely the giant ads were for godaddy. For such a huge tourist attraction you would think a company that provides a service that applies to more general or consumer needs would have wanted that space.

Who goes to the square and decides they need a domain or some server space? I mean even I didn't.

@hodown and I went to Quality Meats in manhattan last night. The food was so amazing. Sadly I only took one pic of two food items - mint and butter edamame and beef bone marrow. We also had a giant bouquet of sea food with lobster, shrimp, crab, oysters and raw clams. It was a fantastic beginning to the trip.

Funny story. At the airport I had to pee and was running to the baggage area. Then my phone buzzed and I started paying attention to my phone and ended up in the middle of a bathroom. When I finally looked up because I didn't see the urinals I realized I was like 30 feet into a crowded women's room and all of the women were staring at me. I ran out fast.
