After sleeping in very late today (it was a miracle I got up at all after last night's adventure) I left Nathan's place on my own around 5. Took the E train to Manhattan and walked over to MoMA. Oh my GOD it was fantastic! It's free on Fridays from 4pm-8pm, so I had to rush myself a bit, but it was worth it. Crowded as hell though. Oh gosh I can't even begin to explain how incredible it was to see some of those pieces in person. I won't make any attempt to transcend the cliches of an art student in a modern museum, but it was just like the history books. Every corner, another priceless piece. I was taken aback to see how many people didn't even realize the pieces they were ignoring. I was floored. Still am. I stayed late and wondered off to Central Park around 8:30.
For fear of the weight I did not carry my slr downtown with me, I did however drain the battery on my phone taking pictures at MoMA. I wandered along the southeast side of Central Park and it was absolutely beautiful. I will wait until day time to travel through it, but from what I understand it's a neat place to get lost in. Stumbled into this little diner called Viand. BEST egg sandwich I've ever had in my life. The people were friendly and funny too. Very much enjoyed that dinner. Then I just strolled down 5th Avenue and peeked into shops until I eventually found my way back to the 5th/53rd train stop. Made it straight home! Good day. And holy crap am I tired.
