Third day in New York! Started it off by grabbing lunch at the border of Midtown West for some bagels at Pick a Bagel:

Then headed back to near our hotel, the Warwick, (just south below Central Park) where the Moma was at (note to future self, Moma does have ticket allotment sectioned by times. Fortunately it wasn’t busy so we were able to get tickets for an hour after we bought them). We basically got to the Moma by 1pm, dropped A, and then stayed there till 5pm. Lots of different impressionists. The Starry Night by Vincent van Goh was featured. You can also drink wine at a bar they have.
After Moma, we were going to meet up with a friend, Eric, so we checked out the Whisky Trader Bar and Lounge near the Moma. They do have a good selection of Whisky, and it is a fairly large bar. Would recommend going there.
After, we got dinner at East Village, at this Greek Place:

We then walked to a bar called the Mona in the same area (and listened to some blue grass music). Gotta say, not sure if I would live in the East Village. Doesn’t really have a homey feeling, the streets are too big.
After, we chilled at Erik’s place in midtown East. It’s a pretty sizable place with a great backyard.
