New York State of Mind Part 2

And the next day...
we decided not to plan as much.

St. Patrick's Catholic Church

I had to do it for Grandma

Light a candle for special prayers and intentions 

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

The first US saint to be canonized by Catholic Church 

The Papal symbol

Beautiful stained glass, ornamented the church

I did however want to stop by MOMA

It was quite crowded but luckily we still have our student

IDs so we got in at half the cost :)

I felt weird taking pictures of some of the paintings. 

But as long as no flash photography was used then we were good. 

Monet's Water lilies

It's so weird seeing it in person. 

To be truthful I don't know if I really liked it that much.

I was very happy to see one of Frida Kahlo's paintings.

He looks so pensive

Hmm now this is something. 

For the record I feel that I need to 

carry more pen and paper

with me. This way when I see things like this

I can report the artist and the name of the work. 

This is one of the special exhibits. 

Some architecture

Above is the model and this is the 

actual rendering. 

Or perhaps I can just take pictures of the artists names.

Oh yeah and I got to go in here too!

But I couldn't buy anything :(

Maybe next time. 

For lunch we went back to China Town for some pho. 

Start off with some tea

Jeff got meaty pho

I got tofu pho

Pho good

Pho good on a rainy day

Before we left we had to stop by Little Italy

Oh boy Oh boy...pastries, pastries,
where? where? where?

Ahhh haaa here they are!!

Trust me it was difficult to choose

But eventually we decided on a few favorites

I miss New York for this reason alone

Well New York, I hope to see you again. You weren't as
bad as I had feared. Hopefully we can see many more things.
I'm hoping winter time, Christmas would be something to experience.
Skating near Rockefeller Center, perhaps??
