S&A NYC - Day 3

Hi!

So, I definitely wanted to sleep later today. But I've been setting the alarm for 9am so that we don't sleep all day. We can sleep when we get home from NYC. Most things don't open until 10am, so there's no point in getting up any earlier.

Today we were going to do Andrew's thing! He wanted to see Alex Grey's paintings - an artist he likes. Likes = IS OBSESSED WITH. So, off we trekked from 46th street where our hotel is down to 14th street. On the way we stopped by:

• Toys 'R Us - Ferris Wheel INSIDE
• Macy's - It's just a really big The Bay
• Madison Square Garden - It's just a really big arena

We got to the art gallery and found out that it opened an hour later than the website said - they had just changed the hours recently. So, we went to find a place to sit and ended up here:

Union Square Park


So then we went back to the art gallery. There were only 2 room and a hallway full of paintings. The gallery is just a temporary location while the artist builds a new location, so not all his paintings are there. So, they had a movie playing where he goes through all his paintings and explains them and it showed them in a lot of detail. They had chairs to sit in on the floor and we sat and watched the movie which was about an hour long. So, that was a nice addition to looking at the paintings. We probably wouldn't have spent very long in there if it was just the paintings, so it was nice that the trip was worth it. We spent a few hours in there in all.

Then we wandered back to the hotel, going a different way. Along the way we stumbled upon:

The Empire State Building - we could see the top part that's pointy from farther away, but not from the base of it, which is where this picture is taken from.

And yet another Ghostbusters scene location - the public library!


We went to TGI Fridays for supper. It sucked. I highly don't recommend it. I non-recommend it.

We also wandered over to Grand Central Station - which is actually Grand Central Terminal. Andrew did say the line and it was funny.

Anyway, by this point we were tired of walking, tired of the crowds, and headed back to the hotel room to rest up for our last day in NYC.
