Hi Everyone,
Yesterday we headed for the Guggenheim to see the Cai Guo-Qiang exhibit. As usual with the Guggenheim the building is amazing but the exhibit lets it down a bit. The cars in the main atrium were amazing... I really really liked it but the rest of the exhibit I wasn't a fan of.
After the Guggenheim we headed down to the lower east side to go to Katz's! This was soooooo good, I had a salami sandwich and Rob had a knockelwurst (or something like that! lol). It was soooooo good as per usual!
After Katz's we got the bus to the financial district. We were intending to get the ferry to Liberty and Ellis Island but Smile being Smile blocked my card cause they thought fraud was going on (even though I told them where i would be), I had to ring them (which will cost loads) for them to apologise loads! Was sooooo annoying! Anyway, we decided it was too late so we headed to have a look at Wall street and the NY stock exchange and then we went along to see Ground Zero cause Rob wanted to see it. They have changed it now, they have viewing decks and a visitor centre.
After this we headed to Newport so I could see where I would be living if I get the internship... we walked around a lot and I couldn't really work out where I would be living. According to the map I would be living in Walgreens... I don't think that was right! lol! The area seemed nice though and the path train goes straight to Greenwich Village which is cool!
After that we headed into Greenwich Village to go to the moondance diner but it appears that this has closed down. Instead we headed for a place called the cupping tea cafe. This was really really nice. I had a caesar salad with grilled chicken that would of feed about 7 people! It was ridiculous! It was the first place we went to that we didn't feel completely stuffed when we left! A very good thing! lol! After that we headed back to the hostel and just hung out.
Today we headed over to Coney Island, we got there about 12pm and had a Nathan's hot dog. We saw the sign that says 'Joey Cheshunt' who won the world hotdog eating competition, he had 66 dogs in 12 minutes! Soooooo scary! We then had a wander down the board walk and went on the beach. It was as per usual, an EXTREMELY odd place! They have closed down the us army recruitment office below the freak show!
After a wander around we headed back to the city to go to the Met. I decided to split up because we wanted to see completely different things. I went to see the Modern Art exhibit, the Tara Donovan, the Photography on Photography, the Pop Art, the Jasper Johns (wasn't impressed), the Gustave Coubet and the Chinese garden. The Met is RIDICULOUSLY HUGE!!! I got lost on several occasions! It was good though. I'm jealous of Rob cause he saw Lily Cole! Soooo annoying! lol! I was also disappointed cause the roof garden doesn't open until May and I really wanted to see that! Sucks!
After the Met we headed back to the hostel for the free pizza party! We've just chilled out from then on, Rob still isn't feeling great!
Tomorrow we are going to actually go to Liberty/Ellis Island and then Rob wants to do some more shopping!
Can't believe its our last full day of the WHOLE TRIP!!! Its sooooo weird!
I hope everyone is good!
Lots of Love,
Sarah xxx
