And more NYC

We went to the Museum of Modern Art and to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Saw a terrific exhibit of Diane Arbus' photographs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Arbus.  A very moving exhibit of displaced peoples, chronicling the issue of refugees all over the world.  And many other less memorable exhibits.

Our route took us through Central Park, thronged with people on this beautiful day 

Bethesda Fountain

 The John Lennon Memorial

and lots of interesting architecture and character buildings.  

The Dakota Hotel

And there was Zabar's, 

a favourite of Barbara's, a store full of everything food related:  cheese, meats, fish and seafood, bakery, pickles and pastas and pestos, you name it.  

 And upstairs was where the hardware was, all the equipment you'd need to cook the food you buy downstairs.  

Barbara and I are both Bela Fleck fans so, when she saw that he was doing a show with Victor Wooten while I was there, she got tickets.  A fabulous show.

And we went to a way off Broadway play one night, a one woman play in a tiny venue that seated maybe 30.  Such Nice Shoes was a good play, very topical, well performed.  http://www.suchniceshoes.com/  

We explored a big street market in upper Manhattan on Sunday, a cornucopia of sensory delights,  

  
and more.

To contrast the urban experience, we shopped at the farmers market in Dobbs Ferry

 and took a nice walk along a trail overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades, fall colours just starting to emerge.
