What's good New York City!? Cont.

Day 3

In the morning, we walked in central park which is a few streets away from our hostel.  Such a beautiful park for early morning joggers. After our long walk in Central Park, we walked on 5th ave to see the Apple Store, which had a glass entrance.  Basically, the afternoon consisted of lots of walking around Manhatten, till we took the subway to the World Trade Center site.  Finished the day off with a good visit to the Guggenheim and a nice dinner at Olive Garden in Times Square yee...

Day 4

MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) !  Started the day off at MoMA, the most interesting art museum I've been to so far.  They also had a nice architectural exhibit going on too, which was nice.  Then after MoMA, shopped again in SoHo which by that time was already 5-6.  Obv. routinely visited the Kid Robot store, fav store of all time.... btw.  the archis and I ended every night during our stay in Times Square.  We ate dinner at Bubba Gump's Shrimp in..... Times Square..! Finally, the last destination in NYC was to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.                                                 So little time so many things to do.

I really liked this building, apparently designed by Zaha Hadid.  Diller Scofidio & Renfro.  HYPERBOLIC  PARABALOID.

This is the hostel room.  Not bad for the price.  Good bye NYC!
