Moma, Tabla and W.



Eleven million people live in N.Y.C. There must be 12 million restaurants there. And in the evenings they are all full. Go figure! O, yes, there must be a million tourists in this city on any given day. Half of them were probably in Moma's line this afternoon, trying to enjoy one of the museum's free nights. Free of charge but not free of waiting in line that ends around the block. Nope, we're not that desperate for art.

We were, however, for a good drink. So, instead of enriching our lives with modern art, we had strawberry mohito(?) and a certain orange crush drink in W. Hmmm, yummy. But pricey. It was worth it though.

Last night was gorgeous, so we decided to go for a walk and ended up in this outside area of Tabla, overlooking a park. The restaurant inside was pure art itself. Beautiful decor, rich, oriental, mystic atmosphere. But we decided to stay outside and enjoy the park. While we can. The meal was just o.k. Too spicy for me. But the restaurant's atmosphere was so New York-modern, fancy, sassy.
So, what you can save on free tickets for museums, you will, almost definitely, spend on delicious drinks and amazing restaurants we've seen just by walking around the city. I think New Yorkers only work, work out and go out. What else is there to life?;-)

I went to the new MoMA in January and loved it! But on a gorgeous night, with a long line...I'd have done the same as you! I'm glad you're taking full advantage of all the amazing NY opportunities available!
