NYC Day Five
Marcos decided that in order to keep his job that he should work today. I guess I can’t blame him as it was Monday afterall. Plus he was leaving that night for a flight to the UK. That meant that Ali and I could enjoy some breakfast while out and about. We chose a cute little place nearby called ’Eat Here Now’. The food was traditional breakfast/diner type food but very good; highly recommend it.
Then it was off to MoMA (or as Marcos insisted I write it: mOmA)… the Museum of Modern Art. A visit to MoMA could easily occupy an entire day; we rushed a little bit and spent a little over four hours there.
We met up with Marcos for dinner at the proper sushi restaurant, Fusha Sushi, before his flight to the UK later that night. The sushi at Fusha Sushi was much better than the other restaurant we landed at on Saturday night. After saying bye to Marcos, Ali and I headed down to the Baker Street pub for drinks. Then we decided to head downtown to get some pictures of Grand Central Station and Times Square at night. We had visited there on the first night, but hadn’t brought the camera. Grand Central Station was full of people and had great lighting, which resulted in some great pictures thanks to Ali’s artistic side. We had similar results at Times Square which was full of tourists wandering around aimlessly, plus a cluster of tourists gawking at what appeared to be a movie being filmed but for which nothing was actually happening.
The night then ended with a mad dash to various stores around Marcos’ place to get some juice for Ali. You know those times when your body just craves something with sugar and you want to indulge but don’t want to settle for a slurpee or other similar bad item? This was one of those times. We found a late-night cigarette shop and decided on some pink grapefruit juice. I’m not sure it was the best grapefruit juice ever, but it was pretty darn close.
