Today we went to the Museum of Modern Art. To tempt you to view the pictures, there are many, many Impressionists in this set. Over the years, as I've seen about a zillion pieces of art, I've come to appreciate and, yes, even prefer modern art because of its unpredictability, its spontaneity, and its sense of humor. You have to love a piece that makes you laugh. I think that's the basic definition of modern art: It makes you feel something.
Just as you don't like every piece of representational art you see, you are not required to like every piece of modern art you see. Just start the slide show and see if you are not impressed by the quality of this collection.

After the museum, we went to the Modern Bar Restaurant - for your basic $100 lunch - and it was great. Imaginative food that was delicious. The gazpacho included almonds and basil oil. The fish was situated on re-imagined grits. And the beers were Brooklyn micro brews. A very successful meal in perhaps architecturally the most beautiful restaurant we've eaten in since we've been here. I should have taken a picture, but I'm not that much of a RUBE!
Tonight, NY pizza with Jay and Sarah. What could be better? Another wonderful NY day.
