Last night I walked myself from the village to long island city at 4am. It was only 5 miles from Manhattan, across the two bridges through Brooklyn. I was kind of terrified when I got to the first bridge, not knowing what was on the other side but I quickly started to feel more confident. I had to just remind myself how much less scary it is then so many of the other places I wandered around. In all it took about 2 hours.

The met had so much awesome furniture. @matthew would have loved it.

Across from MOMA PS1 there is a massive graffitti zone. There is already a Whitney tribute.

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.
