Friday in New York City

Dunke, this trip to the City i was more in need of a little food for the soul and brain than the shopping fix of years past (remember our trip a few years ago when we stayed at 60 Thompson and traipsed all over the city visiting all our favorite shops?) i wanted to make sure i got some visual stimulation so Nanc and i decided to visit the Guggenheim. there was something there i really wanted to see "Contemplating the Void. Interventions in the Guggenheim museum". on the occasion of the building's 50th anniversary, the Guggenheim invited nearly 200 artists, architects, and designers from around the world to imagine their dream interventions in its center space. there through April 28 and definitely seeing.

also at the Guggenheim, Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance. in the shot above Nanc and i became part of the exhibit.

here's Nancy waiting in line for her second (or third) cupcake of the trip at magnolia Bakery on Bleecker. across the street at Irma the owner confirmed that magnolia is not what it once was. the original owners sold it and i can attest it is not as tasty as before. but let me tell you about Irma - small boutique with gorgeous stuff. i scored big time. i will definitely put it on my list of places to pop in to when i visit NYC.

that night we had a snack at Sardis before seeing Enron on Broadway. enjoyed it. didn't think it was amazing. had to snap a picture of this adorable girl at Sardis. love the bow.

we ended our night at the Spotted Pig. it got a lot of raves and had plenty of atmosphere but the all pork menu kinda grossed us out at midnight. still it was a great night out. it had been ninety the day before and now the weather was windy and brisk with sprinkles of rain. fun for running around late at night.
