The second day of our trip started with breakfast at the awesome Kitchenette in our neighborhood (see Nick's blog for a review soon), then we walked down to the
World Trade Center site. We stopped in St. Paul's Chapel, one of the few buildings left standing nearby after the towers fell. The church became a haven for rescue workers in the days following September 11th. We also stopped in the temporary museum dedicated to the World Trade Center and what life was like in them before they fell. It was a sobering visit, but definitely worthwhile. And the picture above shows the new construction on the site; the Freedom Tower just rose above street level - it's the red steel towards the back.
Beth and I then visited the
Museum of Modern Art. Definitely worth a visit - there's a lot of famous artwork hanging there - but the layout seemed a little strange and confusing in some parts.
I call this piece Balding Man Looking at Starry Night.
Long rows of toys at FAO Schwartz.
Kurt by a Lego Chewbacca.
The
Big piano!
Plus a stop at the massive Apple store near Central Park. It was absolutely packed!
And here were are at the famous Katz's Deli.
We finished off the night with a reuben sandwich and knishes.
