Even though this trip was shaping up to be somethng of an architectural tour, I decided to take photos as is, rather than attempt the "postcard" view. So here is what the Guggenheim Museum (one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last -- and not necessarily best,-- buildings) really looks like in context | |
The Chrystler Building, (above) as seen from the Empire State Building's 86the floor. The Hudson River, (right), with Wisconsin in the distance. Below: the men's bathroom at the top of the Empire State Building, with a classy Art Deco treatment that FEW, trust me on this, ever get to see. |

Evening falls in Times Square, sort of a Las Vegas-in-New-York. Like rubes, we expected to be able to walk to a theater and buy tickets to a great play. We figured they'd be expensive, but we didn't realize that you have to buy them last year.
