Hi Everyone,
We tried to blog last night but got to the cafe 3 minutes after it closed. Day 4 was a lot of fun. We went to the American Museum of Natural History and spent several hours wandering around the museum. It was very enjoyable, except for the long line to get in (even though we had City Passes! The pay line was going faster than our "speed right through" line!)
From the museum, we headed towards Midtown to meet up with our friend Jess and her boyfriend Nick. This is our friend that we made while on the island of Capri in Italy. She had just graduated from College and was touring Europe by herself. Ironically enough, she met her boyfriend Nick in Italy - he lives in Arizona, and was also touring Europe. They are still together and doing the long distance thing quite well. We feel a kinship with them as that is how we got our start - meeting in Japan and dating long distance for 2 years.
We enjoyed a fabulous, fun meal with them at an Italian restaurant called Serafina. After dinner, Eric and I headed to Time Square. It wasn't nearly as crowded as it had been on the weekend. We were on the hunt for the cheesey souveniers my brother wants us to bring back for him.
Today has been a very rainy day. We didn't leave the hotel until almost 12:30 pm - hoping to wait out the rain. Funny enough - Bravo was showing repeats of Top Chef Season 1. Funny, because we are headed to winner Harold's restaurant right now. We are about 1/2 hour early, and our subway let out right by an internet cafe.
So anyway...we left around 12:30 and went for a rainy walk through Central Park - a part we hadn't visited yet - around a big resevoir - it was beautiful. We went to the Gougenheim Museum, which is my least favorite museum (I don't really get modern art.) But we had free passes, so we wanted to use them. It was crowded and annoying, and put a damper on my good mood from the walk.
But Eric was a good sport and indulged me in another walk to to some shopping (just one store) but it was still fun.
So now we're off to our big dinner date. I hope the food is great so that we can give Perilla a good review. Oh - I forgot to mention that we had lunch today at a great pizza spot called Pinch - Pizza by the Inch. They have yummy pizza, but also mac and cheese of all sorts of varieties, served in small cast iron skillets. It was very yummy! Ok we're off to our next adventure. Hope you are all well!
