A rare chance to meet bloggers Jeane and Jo (pictured above at MOMA) perpetuated a quick trip to New York City accompanied by my friend Carole. We drove down...about 7 hours from Montreal. It was a busy 4 days with a simple itinerary: meet Jo and Jeane (how fortunate I was to meet them in person), visit a lot of art museums (Dia Beacon on the way, MOMA, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim), soak up the city (sore feet but happy heart), and eat well but economically (is eating a street knish considered eating well?). Mission accomplished on all fronts!
Views from inside the Museum of Modern Art. It felt like a place of worship to me.
The Guggenheim (of course!). The architecture was as impressive as the art.
Looking across the reservoir to the Upper West Side on a rainy Saturday. I'm so glad my first glimpse of Central Park was on a moody, foggy, atmospheric day.
But I also appreciated that same view on a sunny Tuesday! 
In an attempt to neutralize urban overload, I thoroughly enjoyed a long solitary walk in Central Park where I nicely regained my bearings. 
Our lovely well-located brownstone B & B on the Upper East Side. Central Park was at the end of our street and the Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum of Art were just a few blocks away.
View from our B & B window. The perfect place for someone like me, who can literally spend hours enjoying the small details of an urban courtyard. More detail views below.

Looks like you had a fun trip--NYC art museums are always a blast. Did you happen to see the Tim Burton exhibition at the Moma?
Wow, The first photo of Jeane and Jo says volumes on the joy of meeting one another! The park looks as wonderful as when I took my last stroll some 8years ago and the urban view....wow again, is that a white glass greenhouse? What a wonderful journey and shared with such new blogging friends.
