After the Matisse exhibit, we caught a cab to Bryant Park. My friend, Jim, describes this park as "one of the most civilized places on the planet". Check out this video on Bryant Park.
The Reading Room - Books are provided for adults and children to read at their leisure.
Ping pong is making a comeback and there are ping pong tables available. One can play board games, take free yoga class, or lounge in one of the many Adirondack chairs.
Le Carrousel - For the young and younger at heart
View from the park, behind the New York Public Library. Amidst all these buildings and traffic and not far from Times Square, there is this beautiful urban oasis. It is a model that, I believe, all cities should aspire to achieve.
Despite the beautiful architecture of the Public Library that "housed all the great love stories", I briefly thought about SATC, Big, and Carrie. Hello, my name is Judi and I have lived vicariously through Carrie Bradshaw for a long time.
B.P. Cafe - What blogger can resist taking a photo of one's lunch? This is the Grecian Chicken Salad with a 14th Street* Huckleberry Vodka Pink Lemonade. What? I was on vacation! Who knew how good pink lemonade could be?! *I remember it as 14th Street but maybe it was 44 North?
Jim ordered the Southern Fried Turkey Salad. We had a good laugh! It appeared the only thing "southern" about it was that it was fried. We fry our turkeys whole here in the south, don't we? And, we occasionally burned down a house or two while doing it.
It was from here that Jim forced me into a cab so I could make my flight even though I was saying, "I don't want to go, I don't want to go!" I remain in a New York State of Mind.
