Museum of Modern Art, NYC

The renovated MOMA is a great place to view architecture, people and art. Go visit.

NYC Street

Wandering the streets of NYC is always so engaging with the colors, structures, shadows and people.

I Miss NYC

Here is one of my favorite places which closed in 2016 but apparently lives on as a web based mail order deli.

More Wandering

To just wander the streets of NYC is one of my greatest  pleasures.

The Cosmic Diner

There are many gem-like places to eat in NYC, some elegant and fancy and others plain but with excellent food. We found that our “regular ” meals were best taken at the Cosmic Diner. The food is great there, the service excellent and the prices reasonable. Try it when you are in NYC.

The Cloisters, Some Artifacts

The religious artifacts in the Cloisters collection are wonderful works of art. One can cruise through for a quick round of enjoyment or stand in front of one piece for hours. Either way is good.

The Met’s Front Steps

I love just hanging around someplace on the Met’s front steps and watch the world go by. The buildings and the steps provide a perfect stage.

Light, Shadows and Visions

This group of images has contrasts, forms and occasionally odd juxtapositions which black and white enhances.

Spaces

The first three images are NYC spaces with interesting mirrors, movement and activities.The forth image is from Owings, SC in back of an abandoned commercial building. It has  a feeling of calmness and shows a quit beauty

 

 

Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art

The Rubin Museum in NYC is a place to see objects of Himalayan art beautifully curated and exhibited. After we wandered around the exhibits, I was drawn to the stairway and just waited around for thins to happen and subtly they did. The curves, patterns, and light and shadow balances were most inviting.

More Museum of the City of New York

The Museum of the City of New York is a great museum which offers excellent exhibits including a great picture journey of NYC from the earliest days when inhabited by the Lenni Lenape indians to the present. I have seen these for other cities and this is the best. The is a display of lights as one enters which is excellent and changes as you walk around it and a steep stairway with posters. The statue is one of two on the facade. This one is Dewitt Clinton and the other is Alexander Hamilton.

The Subway

The NYC subways are a wonderful sound, visual and human mixture which no one should   miss.

Night Cityscapes

These pictures were taken on the way back to our hotel from Columbus Circle which is a short but productive walk.

The People Watching Marches On

Nothing occurs to me at the moment to say, except enjoy. 

Ya Gotta Eat

After a while one has to get off the street to eat and Patsy’s, located in Midtown West Manhattan, is one of my new favorite Italian restaurants in NYC.     

More NYC, Daytime People-Watching

We parked ourselves at Columbus Circle and just watched folks go about their business. What a great way to spend some quality time.   

NYC Streets

Wandering the streets of NY is like listening to modern music, full of beauty, color, patterns, dissonance, myriads of small stories and vignettes. I am ready to go back.

The Subway Ride

These images represent for me the democracy and convenience of the NYC subways which are now relatively clean and as safe as any other form of travel. Try it, you’ll like it.
