On Brooklyn Bridge
Running through Central Park?
Brooklyn Bridge
Gershwin Hotel-New York
Salvador Dali Exhibition -MOMA20 July
This morning I made Maurie get up early and go for a run through Central Park. The problem with this is, it is about three kilometers from our hotel before we even start, and it is very hot, even at 6.30am. Anyway, we did it, took us about 60 minutes but we finally ambled our way through a small part of the park.
After breakfast we took the subway to Brooklyn Bridge and walked across the bridge. A neat experience to walk across the bridge that has been in so many movies and inspired songwriters. Great view of NY from the bridge, and across to Manhattan Bridge. We wondered around Brooklyn for a while and then caught the train back uptown and visited the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art). Currently running a very extensive exhibition of Salvador Dali’s art and film works. I hadn’t realized that he did a lot of work on a film starring Gregory Peck (“Moontide”), as peck opens up his thoughts on a psychiatrist’s couch, also collaborated with Walt Disney on an interesting very Dali’ish film. A very interesting exhibition.
This gallery has a extensive collection of modern art, lots of Picasso, Gauguin, Monet, etc. Very pleasant new building over six stories to view works. Went across the road to the MOMA design shop, many interesting items that are all of an interesting design. Closer to home, I would have been tem pted to buy a few things.
We followed this up with a few beers and a late lunch and then returned to our hotel for a catch up of emails, blog sites and a little rest before we go out for our final night in New York.
Tonight we will go out and have a few drinks and dinner close to the hotel, pack our bags and get ready for the flight to London tomorrow morning.
