@~Christina, thanks for asking about my time so far in NYC. It's been pretty nice, but unfortunately pricey. Today we went to a wonderful exhibition of Jean-Michel Basquiat's works. His works are amazing and the venue was so well designed! Such a shame such a talent died so young, of a heroine overdose. I strongly recommend anyone in NYC area go. It ends at the end of June.

We've done oodles of walking through many parts of the city. Hudson Yards (and nearby High Line walk), the Village, Chelsea (had an impromptu mini tour of the refurbished historic Hotel Chelsea), the area around Lincoln Center, down Broadway to Times Square, a couple of the pier areas, and of course around Penn Station where we arrive/leave via subway. We plan to stroll Central Park one day. Maybe tomorrow/Wednesday as the weather will be good. We'll figure out the rest on the fly.

We saw a series of modern ballets one afternoon at Lincoln Center, performed by NYC Ballet dancers and one with guests from Dance Theater of Harlem. Of the four, I liked three. We also went to the Whitney Museum's exhibition, but that wan't to my taste, though most of their permanent collection is. Though I love most modern art (i.e. Basquiat's), there are some types I struggle to call "art".
