just arrived in the city

View from Our Room., originally uploaded by mind on fire.

Survived rail/subway transfers at rush hour. Learning that New Yorkers don’t move out of the way–not in the market, not on the sidewalk, not so you can push the buttons in the elevator. A gross exaggeration to be sure, but I’m trying to figure out how to navigate like the locals do…We’re situated just a few blocks from Times Square, from MOMA, from Rockefeller Center.

This is fun, people.

    If you have the time, go to the Van Gogh exhibit at MOMA. A friend and I took the bus down from Boston earlier this month just to see it (4.5 hours each way – we couldn’t afford to stay over) and it was worth it! Regular admission covers the exhibit (it’s pricey, $20 for 1 adult), but you need to get a timed entry ticket to get in.

    Enjoy NYC!
