This morning's coffee comes to you from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The two things I wanted to are both closed this week. So if I want to have coffee in the 5th floor cafe overlooking Central Park I'll have to come back next week. Likewise for the Frank Lloyd Wright's room. DEM's de breaks girl.
I hadn't really thought about how many universities there are in Manhattan. Whole neighbourhoods all over. That's a lot of libraries
This cafe does look out onto Central Park and those joggers are bac. Plus folk walking their dogs. All on leashes. Not such a good place to be a dog. The Met is actually in the Park.

| Maybe not such a bad life - they even get to go shopping |
One of the current exhibitions is
Fashion and the Impressionists.
 |
Wandering around surrounded by works by Manet, Monet, Renoir, Baudelaire and others,
with some of the actual dresses that are seen in the paintings - sensory overload. That's Dejeuner sur L'herbe in the background. Two of the panels that survive. amazing |
 |
| The Met was surrounded by hoarding which detracted from the facade |
 |
| This was me trying to be arty, photographing Central Park through the sunshading inside the Met |

Normal crowds in the foyer at the Met

| Buskers spruicking for the lunchtime crowds in the steps, pretzel cart behind doing brisk business |
