We got out a bit late then made our way down to the Met Museum of Art. When we got there we found that it is closed on Mondays. They recommended the famous Guggenhiem Art Museum, we went there. The line up wrapped around the famous snail-shaped building like the head emerging from the shell. The line up moved quickly and before we knew it we were admiring some renowned cubic works which formed the genre, Picassos (there is no lack of Picasso in NYC), a touching Canadian photography exhibition by a Manitoba artist, among many other amazing pieces.
After the museum we went for a stroll through Central Park and then back to Harlem for, what could have been our favourite meal on the trip- soul food at Manna's Soul Food. We finished our plates almost licked them clean at the weigh your plate buffet.
With our gycymic index through the roof we decided to break that shit up with some Americanos in a very hip, artsy, Czech café and a Greenwich village favourite, Doma.
Later that night we view NYC from the Empire State Bld and finished the night off with pints and burgers at Corner Bistro.

Mmmmmm, soul food!!! That is one meal we missed out on in NY - next time!
Jo,
Soul Food and a day in Brooklyn are definitely two things you guys must do the second time around. In fact you should be training your arteries months in advance for the Soul Food.

We did spend half a day in Brooklyn, and we loved it!!! We might actually stay there next time we go.
Soul food is on my list!! Training my arteries will be fun :-)
Jo,
Really? You didn't mention it...
Oh yes, you said something about the "Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints" building, "The Watchman" or "The Watchtower" or something like that ? What did you do there?
Staying in Brooklyn would be such a good idea, much cheaper. You could just zoom into Manhattan via the L-line in no time. It goes right down 14th- right to the door step of our parents old place, it terminates in Union Square I think.

We didn't do much there. We went in the afternoon, wandered around a couple neighborhoods, went to the courthouse, got some pizza of course :-) and then came back over the bridge at night to see the skyline.
Jo,
I guess besides Greenpoint, Bedford is another popular area in Brooklyn, but we never really got there.
