My daughter and I can’t pass the American Girl store without going inside to play!!MOMA- The Red Studio- One of the best exhibits I’ve seen this year. The exhibit is focused around the Matisse painting “The Red Studio” which is a painting of Matisse’s studio, and MOMA has brought many of the works referenced in that painting into the exhibit.MOMA- Frederic Bruly Bouabre World Unbound- While I like the idea of creating a phonetic dictionary of sorts, this exhibit was eh…MOMA- The Project of Independence Architecture of Decolonization in South Asia 1947-1985- Hard to pinpoint architecture in an exhibit, but the models were coolMOMA- randomlyMOMA- I didn’t understand this at allMorgan Library- One Hundred Years of James Joyce’s Ulysses- You know I am not a fan of Ulysses- and when we went to the Morgan, we went to see the newly opened gardens, but on Sunday’s they are only open by tour and we missed the tour. So…exhibits it was…J. Pierpont Morgan’s Library: Building the Bookman’s Paradise- All about building the library- bleh…except for a little bit about his secretary Bella da Costa GreeneMorgan Library- Please Send to Real Life: Ray Johnson PhotographsMorgan Library- Writing A Chrysanthemum: The Drawings of Rick BartonVinoTapa- Tortilla EspanolaGallery 370Gallery 371Gallery 372Gallery 373Gallery 374Metropolitan – Arms and Armor
I would love to see the Morgan Library, especially after reading the book The Personal Librarian recently, although I did not find the book particularly well done, her story was interesting.

A pub named after him is great. A book written by him not so much

It’s from a tapas place…it’s essential a thick potato omelette pie type thing, served with aioli, and it’s stupidly delicious. So simple but so good

I didn’t read that because I heard it was very average as a book, but her life story is fascinating!
