Brunch and Guggenheim




How is this for a classic breakfast joint in New York?



Slept in till 9am today as we had planned to catch up with our New Yorker friend Kathy for breakfast. Situated at 85th and Broadway it was lovely to be able to just walk to an engagement. My omelette was delicious. There is plenty to do free here but it is also easy to spend money quickly. Thank the mighty Oz dollar for reaching parity!



So about noon we headed across Central Park (I will insert one of many lovely shots I took which are currently no available on this iPad later) and took a discounted tour of the Guggenheim. Had enjoyed the MOMA in 07 fortunately because they were installing a big Picasso exhibition and had most of the ramp galleries closed off. A retrospective of a photographer I had never heard of did little to inspire and the display of Lloyd Wright in the Basement was similarly underwhelming. May do the Frick again next time and give the Gugg a miss. Above is Park Ave. which we wandered down to sample the shops of the East side.



Then we hopped on a train downtown to ....



Grand Central.



We avoided shopping because I managed to tire Tess with walking:)



It's a great city though. Tomorrow, Boston.



This our place, the Beacon.



And these, life's essentials for an enjoyable stay in the Big Apple.
Cheers!
