New York City: Day Three

Day Three started at Cartier. I mean, is there a better place to start?

Great building. Sorry about the sideways pictures...I don't think the comp knows what to do with vertical pictures. I love this thing. Oh side note: all the teachers at Wilmington, Yours Truly included, are getting MacBooks for the year. To take home and use and blog on ;) and use and HAVE AROUND for general use. Nice-uh. So there, To-She-Ba haters.



Drop into St. Patrick's Church (in a strapless dress...what a cow)...



Street shot. I then got hit by this biker. Wicked.



Love love love this picture of a museum patron. Oh, we went to the MoMA this day...stunning.



They were exhibiting this amazing display about the Vietnam war. I love the multi-media art.



I also love the old standard: Matisse.



Radio City Music Hall.



...followed by a pop into Magnolia Bakery. It was wicked. They had a Carrie Cupcake (which, of course, we couldn't resist) and a devilish Red Velvet that we picked up too.



Enjoying on the subway (we even made THAT possible)...



...and peering on remnants of the Carrie...



Love this display of Helvitica font. Isn't pop culture remarkable?



Le Trois on le metro (I'm getting ready for a mini-holiday in Paris, can you tell?)...



Then we popped on the...





...for free! We saw the NYC skyline and The Statue...it was pretty wicked. And a lovely day outside to boot...who could ask for anything more?



...that was a strange sight though. On the pier was written, "AT THE SAME MOMENT". Any thoughts on what that means?

Les Filles...



C'est moi!



Laura, demonstrating her favourite cooling off pose...



As close as I could get to the Statue of Liberty...



There we are!




I love this shot. It's so Sex and the City...the Waldorf Astoria and the Chrysler Building at dusk.



Ah yes, then we subway-ed it over to Brooklyn. It was hot under that ground. REALLY hot. Alicia was laughing at me hard because I was sweating as much as I was. It was pretty embarrassing. But soon after, we were cooled off by the air con, and off to visit Anat. Here's the courthouse...



..which we then followed up with an amazing dinner at Noodle Pudding. Though the policeman at the Staten Island Ferry told us it was far too touristy, we quite liked it and the friendly staff who loaded us up on free desserts (after three bottles of wine). Nice.







Winding up the night...



Reminiscing about law school days with "the egg"...



...our host...



...Yours Truly...



...oh the laughs that followed were rich.



What a great end to a great night...



Thursday was our last day...I'll get around to posting about it in its entirety.

Have a great day!
