Today was a Friday, so while Mark and Sandra worked, we walked up 5th Avenue and through a tiny corner of Central Park on our way to the Frick museum. Sorry, no pictures allowed, but it is one of my favorite museums in New York.
One artist watching another. Hint: One is a life size statue.
There is a gem shop on 5th Avenue that is more like a museum: rocks, fossils, meteorites, gems, etc, etc.
An example of things on display. That is a bat in the upper right hand corner.
New York is the place to go for fashion. We saw some pretty wild stuff.
New York City tax dollars at work. Trump Tower is protected by the police and massive concrete barriers, but you can still walk in.
That evening, we met back up with Mark and Sandra and took the water taxi over to Queens to check out a microbrewery. This picture was taken from the ferry (water taxi) landing, and the noise was deafening. Following a fatal crash, helicopters can no longer land on buildings in Manhattan. I feel sorry for these rich guys who now have to make their way to the waterfront just to catch a ride. Hey, it's rush hour on a Friday evening; gotta get back to the Hamptons. We took the water taxi, and had a great rime. By the way, the hospital where Mark and Sandra work, along with their appartment, is in the background of the above picture.
