Dry Steps, Wet Steps, Dry Steps
Oct. 11th, 2007 11:18 pm15,671 steps in all.
Each one taken as part of an utterly delightful day spent in Manhattan with Bobbi Armbruster. Given the weather forecast, I maintained my status as a Staten Island Ferry virgin and we spent the afternoon exploring the mesmerizing exhibit, Provoking Magic: Lighting of Igno Maurer at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Oh. My. Gosh. Go, if you can. Go. Go. Go! Watch the films. And maybe avoid looking very many of the online photos of the exhibit beforehand. The installations are each far, far better in person, but the sheer visual surprise and discovery of seeing them for the first time in person was a trip all in itself.
Before and after, we filled our stomachs as well as our eyes. Breakfast at Norma's, at Le Parker Meridian. ( The Waz-Za, and other details )
We spent the evening dining at the Russian Tea Room. ( 2-part harmony on that )
I've left out the sodden parts thanks to the downpour while we were traveling between 91st and 57th Streets, gift shop delights, and other 4-part harmony, but another full day of New York Adventures awaits. Friday's main event? The National Theatre of Scotland performing The Wolves in the Walls at the New Victory Theatre.
It's in the US for just three weekends. The highest-priced tickets are a mere $35. Five of us have seats purchased this past Monday, and they're in the fourth and fifth rows of this children's theatre. I'm so glad I read the LJ syndication of Neil's blog on my friend's page!
As you can see, life is good.
