(Mis)Adventures in NYC Part 2

Yesterday I promised pictures from the weekend of misadventure; today I will deliver.

I never like to see tons of pictures of people I don't know from a trip I didn't take, so I will TRY to keep it to a minimum in case any of my readers are as cantankerous as I in this regard.

Now, keep in mind that ALL of these photographs that I or my friend are pictured in were taken while we were still having fun during, like, the first 6 hours after our arrival - hence the bright and hopeful smiles.

The accommodations...

The Mansfield Hotel

Our room was clean and well appointed, but TINY.

I've never seen such an itty bitty pedestal sink! So cute!

Us...

A pretty door on the side of an old church, 5th Ave

Megan at Tiffany's - "that one right there!"

LOVED this brick and that awesome sign in the background!

In Central Park

In Central Park (notice the cords and layers - yeah, it was like 87 degrees and humid as hell)

Met up for breakfast with an old friend living in the city... Shout out to Andrew! It was great to catch up with you!

There were street performers everywhere we went...

This guy was playing the percussion, Stomp style

This dude had a creepy humpty dumpty puppet

And this was a jazz band in Washington Square Park beside NYU

I wonder how many crustaceans we drank? Click here to find out exactly what I mean by that.

My favorite things about New York City? The architecture, the history, the living, breathing ART that's all around you...

A faaabulous vine-covered building on the Upper East Side

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Almost every single thing is PURE MARBLE in The New York Public Library on 5th and 42nd. It will take your breath away.

This is how New York dogs roll...

Yes, it is peeing right in the middle of the sidewalk. I watched it toddle out of the door in the background and pop a squat post haste, as if it does this every single day of its life. Poor dear has maybe never seen grass.

Ahh, the open air markets...
