New York, New York. I took a one day trip last week to NYC.
I took an early train with Mr. Fun who goes to the office about once a week. I look like "take your munchkin to work day". We come from the boonies of CT and the train fills up more as we get closer.
Does your starbucks sound like this first thing in the morning? Are we in a club? They shout the names through their masks and you can not hear them. lololol
The Plaza outside his building was beautiful.
First Stop: Moma ( I really wanted to go to the Met but they are closed on Tues & Weds).
Favorite Paintings of the Day.
I took myself to lunch on the 6th floor terrace. I had a little sparrow for a friend.
I watched the famous Delacroix Clock with dancing animals. I've always loved this famous clock.
Next Up: Central Park Zoo
Beautiful flowers in the zoo.
I strolled through Central Park - past The Mall Literary Walk.
Grand Central Station Celestial Ceiling. Off for home on the choo choo again.
Thanks for visiting New York, New York with me!
I visited the Lincoln Center Folk Art Museum Gallery. On display: Weathervanes.
Beautiful Flowers at Lincoln Center.
I met Rich for dinner at one of our upper west side favorites, Fiorello's.
Mmmmmm delicious after 9 miles of walking!
I hope you are getting out and about and staying safe and well.

Wonderful to mix it up a bit! Love your view of NYC this morning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us with you!!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you had a sparrow visit you for lunch. Did your Mom love NY too? So special. Thanks for the tour. Glad you had fun.
ReplyDeleteYou make a great tour guide 😀
ReplyDeleteI was born in NYC and lived there until I was about 13. There is nothing to compare to NYC. We lived close to Central Park and I loved walking there. Thank you for sharing a little bit of memory with me.
ReplyDeleteOhhh thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us !! 🥰
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful day, Barb. I thoroughly enjoyed tagging along--the art, the flowers, the birds, the clock, the weathervanes, the GCS ceiling. I have never been to NYC, though my son lived there for a time (and loved it). And 9 miles of walking--good for you! Am currently in a walking boot and can't even walk a mile a day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun filled day! I would have loved to tag along in person rather than just in pictures! Great weather too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day you had--chock full of wonderful sights and sounds--I so enjoyed tagging along...thnx;)))
ReplyDeletehugs, Julierose
Looks like you had a wonderful day! That fish reminds me of the one in Cherie Payne's Sweet Land of Liberty quilt. I always wondered why she put a fish in it. Now I know, it's a weathervane. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your fun day in NY! I've been to NY many, many, many times over the years and actually lived there for a few weeks while I did a clinical rotation at St. Vincents Hospital in Greenwich Village when I was in med school. Our son lives in Brooklyn so we try to get there regularly. I LOVE visiting NY! We often eat at Fiorellos if we are attending a concert at Lincoln Center. Now I'm itching to go again soon!!!
ReplyDeleteWow what a busy day you had, and I'm not surprised you walked 9 miles. You certainly did your daily steps for the day! Lol! Love the Delacroix Clock, and the flowers. All in all a lovely day out. Was that a Martini you had at dinner? I have never tried one, I'm a wine girl. :))
ReplyDeleteThat was a big day. Thanks for the beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us out with you for a beautiful day in NY. A visit to all of these places is certainly on my bucketlist.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful visit. I am so glad you had a great time. I just told my husband last week that I wanted to go to NYC. Thanks for sharing your photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! I bet Rich enjoyed the company on the ride. We loved our trip to NYC in June. I've gone back several times and scrolled through our photos we took. Everyone needs to go at least once in a lifetime. How fortunate you are to be close enough to get there easy.

It's been YEARS since I've been to The City! What a lovely day, Barb. Thanks for taking us along!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love NYC. I've never had a day exactly like this there. You saw a lot of nature. It looked like a mindful day, just perfect. So nice to be able to train in.
ReplyDeleteLoved following you around NYC. You really had a diverse day. I was there 53 years ago. Maybe I should go back! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteLoved traveling vicariously with you. You certainly put in your steps and earned your dinner.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day! I love the Folk Art Museum!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great day. Thanks for taking me along.
ReplyDeleteOh to travel again - lucky you! Thanks for the tour - armchair travel will have to do for now. Take care and stay safe!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along on a fun outing...so much beauty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely visit you had! I bet you slept a little on the train ride home.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you for taking us along! You sure did accomplish a lot in one day by yourself. I'm from western New York State, but I've never been to NYC and I've never heard of that clock. I enjoyed the video.

Hey Barb, thanks for including us in your NY day trip! Your photos are wonderful. I like the ones where you are peeking in from the side, especially the ones including Frida. Such a wonderful rich getaway, and you didn’t even have to drive!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. It's seems crazy to go to New York city for a day! But you're so close, lucky you : )
ReplyDeleteMy kind of day....how lovely for you to get out and have such a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun. So many places visited in one day. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Enjoy the day rest at home. ;^)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun-filled day! You covered a lot of territory and I thoroughly enjoyed your pics. How did that sparrow find you??? Not sure what that means but so glad he stopped by :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I will get there soon! I hope...
ReplyDeleteI feel like I was with you-- I must admit to missing NYC sometimes!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great day, although exhausting.
thanks for sharing all the sights!

wow...nice to be that close....a week in NYC has always been a dream trip of mine...so many things i would like to see...
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us along, I would never go to such a big city myself. Love the artwork!
ReplyDeleteMiss NYC so much. After our move from CT to NV I dream about returning in the fall
ReplyDeleteThanks for my day out ....
ReplyDeleteI watched the entirety of the dancing animals--didn't know about this, and now I'm putting it on my list for next time I come to New York. Thanks for a fun day out!
