Live From New York, it's JenniferS' birthday ...
- Thread starter JenniferS
- Start date
Now we've done the whole front 1/4 of the building, including the Temple Wing.
We have less than 35 minutes to check out some European paintings.
Apparently I'm not as worldly or classy as I thought, because the little we saw was mostly meh.
Here are a few things I did like that are actually suitable for family viewing.
And by far my most favourite! So much so, that I had a copy of this hanging in numerous powder rooms since before I got married until a couple of years ago when it fell off the wall and the glass shards sliced the print. Oh sad day.

Time to stroll through Central Park.

"You're not drinking from that", Mike asks aghast.
Sure, why not. Turns out the water was colder and less chlorine-y than any fountain water I've ever had at Disney.
Back at the hotel, we split this:
(Ahaha, no we didn't. I offered. He declined. I drank it all. I was thirsty and caffeine deprived. Two birds ... and all that.)
Then I was cold, and crawled under the covers, so you know darn well I fell asleep. On top of the covers, so did Mike.
After we woke up and washed our faces and brushed our teeth, we went out for dinner. Around the corner, less than 100m away. Definitely worth the walk.
All caught up now. Beddy-byes time, as my mom would say. We've got big plans for tomorrow.
Headed down to 1 World Trade Centre. Definitely a no mascara day. Maybe a tour on the Staten Island Ferry. And maybe meeting another Disney friend, depending upon her circumstances.
Good night all.

All day long, "go with the green".I just had a total 5th grade flashback.
Go with the green.
What are you still doing up?

That's how you have to do it or you're standing around a lot!
Not still up - woke up and can't sleep. Lots to do tomorrow, lots on my mind, lots of tossing and turning. Little sleep.
Bummer.You should try alphabetical mental Word Whomp. I should have taught you the exact rules yesterday.
My bad.

I call it the Island of Lost Conversations. Whenever I hang out with someone I haven't seen in a while when we part ways I visit the island and try to follow-up on anything important.

Excellent synopsis of the era of art. It made me chuckle with my morning coffee!

French onion soup for me. It's cheese, it's onions, it's good.

Caesar salad with croutons. Clearly not mine.

Mike says this is the best part. I say, have at it.

He likes pub fish and chips. We never eat it at home.

Steakhouse salad for me (sans tomatoes). This is hands down, one of the best salads I've ever had. There's nothing special about it, but it all worked. Probably not the most expensive cut of meat, but it was cooked and seasoned perfectly.

Same dessert for both of us. Chocolate pot de crême. I prefer my strawberries to be less macerated, but no biggie.

I must be tired. I legit had to Google desert vs dessert.
I love Mnemonic devices.What's the crumbly stuff on the steakhouse salad?
Blue cheese. Very mild, but tasty.I always remember Dessert has TWO S's because you always want more of it.

I have mnemonic devices for lots of words, but "dessert" is generally a word I just know. Except for last night, clearly.

I used Google Maps to find that statue and it says J Marion Sims. I can't zoom in enough to read the engraving other than Born 1813 Died 1883 and M.D. LLD and it has the medical doctor symbol on either side, so he was a doctor.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Thank you.

I cheat...I googled it. I knew it had a silent M. (Thanks Full House!) But I thought it had a u in it. Did I mention I'm a big nerd?i always remember how to spell "mnemonic" because...actually, I don't.
