New York Part Three

I don't seem to have the energy to post some pictures tonight or sort through them but for the benefit of those of you playing along at home, here's what we did today. Reluctantly drug ourselves out of bed, got some bagels at H&H Bagels ("the best bagels in new york" - well, maybe), took the subway, involving several wrong ways and wrong stops, met up with a food tour of Greenwich Village. Enjoyed hearing the history and eating the food along the way. Be glad you don't live in Greenwhich Village where a modest 300 sq. foot apartment rents for $2000 per month! Then we met up with Elizabeth's friend Nat. He took us to his Dad's apartment on Broadway, in the West Village. Elizabeth also knows his Dad, from IDEA. He has a PhD in Drama and has written books on Clowns. Their apartment was a riot, including built in ramps for the cats to climb around on. After that we headed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is huge and extensive and has every kind of art from all over the world. After 2 hours we were exhausted and had only seen a small part of it. We took the subway back to our hotel and Elizabeth went to a comedy show with Nat and I enjoyed walking around and reading by myself. Tomorrow is our last day to see New York.
