Museum of the Moving Image: Kermit and the Walking Dead. I’d never seen Walking Dead, but the exhibit was quite good. However, Zombies will never be my thing.Comfortland- Egg and Cheese biscuitGage and Tollner- Baked AlaskaMy daughter took me to Comfortland, a walk up take out place with delicious biscuit sandwiches. They are supposed to make awesome shakes and fried chicken as well. Gage and Tollner is an old New York place recently given a facelift and a pastry chef. The above is baked alaska. It was deliciousMondrianMunchVan GoghVan Gogh, Mondrian, and Munch: Selections from the Department of Drawings and Prints (special exhibit through 10/11/22) I enjoyed this small but impressive selection of works, mostly new acquisitions for the Met. I found them peaceful and pretty.Gallery 500Gallery 501Gallery 502Gallery 502Gallery 502European Sculpture and Decorative Arts- Pictures do not do these galleries justice- my pics anyway. Just beautiful. But be forewarned- there are 66 galleries in this section so we are going to be here for awhileThis is the last gallery in the section Art of the Arab lands, Turley, Iran and Central Asia and Later South Asia. This has been a beautiful area of the museum, and one I was glad to look at more closely. Peach cake and Chocolate lava cake- Loeb BoathouseWe’ve always talked about going for a meal in the boathouse in Central Park. Alas, the restaurant is closing next month, so we made sure we went. The food is delicious, the setting pastoral, and I’m glad that I got a chance to experience this. Yes, it is touristy. However that doesn’t take anything away from this iconic spot.The Mets would go on to win this game.
Wow! Quite a lovely grouping. I happen to love Van Gogh, Mondrian, and Munch. All three are some of my favorite artists. The drawings are uniquely different from their usual style and are quite enchanting.
The pastry and desserts left me drooling for sweets. Definitely Yummy looking. Thanks for sharing.
I figure I’ve got about a year left. I think I’ll start going to the tours once a week. They’re coming back in earnest, and I think that would be a cool way to look at stuff
I’m with you on zombies, though the best show we saw on zombies was an old episode of Mythbusters where they explored questions like “if given a choice of fighting a horde of zombies with a machete or a gun, what is the right choice?” You know, burning questions that are must know-or-die 😀
I’ve always wanted to try Baked Alaska. It looks as decadent as it sounds. Jim Henson is one of my heroes–a creative who died too young, but lives on in Kermit. It’s so sad when an icon of an area closes, but at least you went out with a bang with this one. You certainly had an exciting week using all of your senses. Thank you for sharing.
Baked Alaska is totally decadent!! My husband doesn’t love meringue so he didn’t like it as much as me. And yes..Jim Henson was a genious and clearly had so much more to offer us. Sad. s
If that exhibit about The Walking Dead was about the comic/tv show, know this that show was about human survival against other humans in a post apocalyptic world where a virus turns brain dead people into cannibals. Essentially the title referred to the people not the zombie. The comic was far better than the show.
Loved Kermit the frog, watched the Muppets every Sunday night when we were little. 🙂 My parent’s had Baked Alaska on their Alaska cruise and loved it.
The Boathouse looks like a lovely place to have a meal, right by the water.
I haven’t thought about Baked Alaska in years. There was a restaurant we frequented growing up, and my mom would occasionally order it as a special treat. From what I remember, it was really good!
I love this layout much better. Before, when you used to put all the pictures, then all the words, I would have to keep scrolling up and down just to figure out which image matched with text.

Yes…this exhibit was mainly based on the tv show, but gave many references to the comic
