140/365: The view from the Top of the Rock over Manhattan. On day 7 in New York, we first went on the Staten Island ferry – the free commuter boat between the southern tip of Manhattan and the car-free island. There were good views of Manhattan and The Statue to be had. We like! Via subway – as always – we went up to Chelsea. After lunch at the Chelsea Markets, we walked along the High Line, an abandoned elevated train track that’s repurposed as a pedestrian walkway with lots of green. It was a nice stroll with good views of the streets below and the architecture around. Around sunset, we went up to the Top of the Rock, the observation deck on the GE building of the Rockefeller Center. And what can I say: the views were simply stunning. For the evening, we went back to Greenwich village where we were entertained by another great ensemble called “The Kennedy Administration”.

136/365: At the MoMA. This painting is One: Number 31 by Jackson Pollock. I really like it. Mostly I think because it stimulates my mind to imagine how it was created. And then I’m reminded of The Big Lebowski. But this wasn’t my favourite painting in this huge museum. There were so many world-famous paintings, it’s impossible to mention them all. I particularly liked the works by Vincent Van Gogh, Umberto Boccioni and Pavel Tchelitchew’s Hide and Seek. But there was so so much more. It was very impressive and inspiring. We spent hours. After the visit to MoMA, we were pretty hungry and mentally exhausted. We decided to head over to Chinatown for some Asian flair and great, cheap food. And that was definitely a success. We’ll visit Chinatown again, though, since we’ve mostly seen it at night while it was raining. Another really good day. Crossposted from blog.danielpietzsch.com/post/119195432728/136-365-at-the-….
