UPTOWN WEST/ MIDTOWN

MoMA & Circle Line

We started the day on the Metro heading to Columbus Circle close to Central Park. We almost blew it because we could not figure out how to all get on the same subway. We wandered through the south end of Central Park, into the Plaza hotel, and down 5th avenue past the Trump Tower and Playboy headquarters to our ultimate destination of the MoMa (Museum of Modern Art). WOW!!!!! Monet, Matisse, Picasso to name a few. We had a delicious lunch at the Terrace 5 Cafe. But that was not all. We hailed a taxi and went to Pier 83 to catch a Circle Line Tour Cruise around the Island of Manhattan. It was VERY windy but other than that it was perfect. See Manhattan from all angles. Another taxi to Don's apartment (a high school classmate). We visited briefly then we walked to the Copper Chimney. A very good Indian restaurant. Rebecca (another classmate) joined us as well. [Jon where were you?]. Then the weary travelers caught the subway home. Another fun day.
