Visited NYC back in ’09, using the auto show as an excuse. Now I’m typically not one for cities, but spending 2 days in Manhattan certainly made a strong case for the Big Apple, if not for metropolitan living.

So many landmarks … Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Times Square, Metropolitan Museum … and yet  it feels like we barely skimmed the surface. I guess I’ll have to go back. Eventually.

Times Square, of course. I hate acting and feeling like a tourist, but I’ll be damned if I hang out in Times Square and don’t take pictures like the other 2 million people there. Shiny and stuff.

Calling a dead shark or a pile of rope art doesn’t really strike me. No pics, too busy giggling wondering what would happen if I grabbed one end of said pile of rope and ran away with it.

Metropolitan Museum NYC

I like old stuff better. With incredible detail.
