Free Fun

I never miss the model train exhibit at the Transit Museum Annex in Grand Central Terminal this time of year.  The exhibit is fantastic.  It runs until the end of February and it is FREE!!!!

The Arsenal At Central Park

Lost Gloves

 Bottle Caps

 Cans

 Surge Protectors

New York Condoms

One of my all time favorite exhibits this time of year--wreaths at the Central Park Arsenal made from recycled and very unusual materials.  The added bonus is the magnificent building it is housed in-on 64th St and 5th Ave.  I almost forgot, it is free1

My Favorite Time Of Year

No city does it better-Rockefeller Center

NYC Christmas Photos

I love NYC all the time, but especially this time of year.  Nothing beats walking around to see the windows and the other sites.  If you are interested, more pictures here, on Facebook.

Time Warner Building--Columbus Circle

BTW--if you go, save money and eat in the tap room in the back of Whole Foods.  Lots of good beer, different than usual varieties and great food with many vegetarian choices.  

Winter beers are my favorite.  This one might have been the best I ever had and, believe me, I have had many.

Central Park Arsenal

On one of my annual trips to see the mangificent store windows, I read about an exhibit of home made wreaths in the Central Park Arsenal.  I didn't even know this place existed, so I had to go and see.

The Arsenal is a magnificent old building which now houses offices and an art gallery.  If you have a chance, go check it out, you won't be sorry.

More pictures here, on Facebook.  (More window pictures in a few days)

Merry Christmas

Rockefeller Center--My all time favorite



Electric Holiday

Minnie Mouse fantasizes herself walking down the runway as a Parisian model.  Barney's on Madison has a great video.  It is in the window, in a theater on the ninth floor and online.  Definitely worth seeing.  More pictures and a link to the video on Facebook. 

 So many fun free things to do in NYC.

Stars Up Above

I really am a cheap date.  I must have spent 30 minutes just watching the stars change color in the Time Warner building on Columbus Circle.  In fact, I loved it so much I went back a second time.  they weren't as pretty during the day.  These were taken with my little point and shoot.

 

If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and then go see Discovering Columbus, which has been extended until December 2.
