Hello again, NYC forumers. Continuing with my New York City trip from March 7-9 of this year to see the Rangers game at Madison Square Garden and to see the sights, and managed to take in the Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square, Museum of Modern Art, NBC Studios, and MSG. I took the bus into Port Authority Bus Terminal. I took so many pictures that I have decided to break it into 3 parts and show a limited number of pictures and redirect to my pbase account website for the rest.

Here's Part 2, with night pictures, and a tour of the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art)...

The Famous Museum of Modern Art, I remember seeing this on an episode of Inspector Gadget and an episode of Family Guy, that's one reason I went there. It is one of the most influential museums in the world.

Lobby

This is no ordinary collection of furniture...

This would be for the true breakfast enthusiast...

Amazing how long his hair gets and yet his facial hair stays about the same...

I like this Number Pattern work by Jasper Johns

A Group Dance exhibit... called Huddle by Simone Forti
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110627129.jpg

That's what's called AIM (Art in Motion)
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110627130.jpg

Another AIM work by, I believe, Simone Forti herself called "Sounds", where hangs on a rope and many sounds play...

Looking outside, great view...
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110627728.jpg

This, to me, really shows the diversity of New York City's architecture at street level...
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110627729.jpg

I found this picture rather amusing, yet disturbing at the same level, and the weirdest thing about this, was that it reminded me of that SNL skit "Cluckin' Chicken" from SNL, guess what, I actually saw it the night of on a "Best Of Commercials" show of SNL... how funny is that?
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110627730.jpg

This picture needs no description...
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110627731.jpg

To me, this looks like a drive-in A&W Restaurant...

I like this picture, a wholesome breakfast, that Fried Egg table would go with it nicely...

I believe this is by Salvador Dali...

A Picasso work...

A Fish...

Looking up at the MoMA offices...
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110628137.jpg

I think this is around the Avenue of the Americas...

Radio City Music Hall... notice all the cabs around here, I would say at least 1/2 of all vehicles I see in NYC are cabs.

Applebee's... one of the few urban locations for an Applebee's you'll ever see...

Looking North on Broadway...

The World's Largest T.G.I Friday's or at least rumoured to be... I ate supper here, I stuck to the chain restaurants for my meals...
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110628154.jpg

Times Square at night... quite the sight... It's a bigger, more urban version of Las Vegas...

http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110628340.jpg

I didn't have a tripod with me, but it was so bright, and the camera is pretty good for night shots, even without a tripod, these pictures turned out good...

Looking at the Empire State Building...

http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110628721.jpg

http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110628709.jpg

More skating at Rockefeller Center, always a sight.
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110628726.jpg

This and Central Park are two reasons why NYC may be considered a real family-friendly tourist draw...
http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110628733.jpg

http://www.pbase.com/jaybird287/image/110628742.jpg

Finally, one more time the view from my hotel room at night...

Hope you liked Part 2 of my trip... Part 3 is coming soon!

ENJOY!!!

love your shots!

Is this building the New York Yacht Club ? Next door to the Sofitel Hotel not far from Times Square......I didn't take a pic of it on my visit but recall nautical window design like the back of a galleon.It also had a wonderful interior...as far as they would let me see anyway - Shouldn't have told him I was from Australia ( Americas Cup and all that ? ).As with your previous pics...they are all fantastic !

Your pictures are great, I really love the ones inside MOMA, I have never been there but was curious about the interior. Seems like you had a lot of fun.

I believe if I remember correctly, yes it is. I remember seeing a sign for it.

Barnardgirl, MoMA is quite the place, an art lover's paradise. Yes, I did have a lot of fun on this trip, and the best part is yet to come.

SeattleLife, thanks!

I love NYC! Thanks for these! :)

Most museums don't allow photography. I can't believe MOMA allowed it.


BTW, why would anyone eat somewhere like Applebees if they're in NYC? Good grief!
