New York - Day 5

New York continued to amaze today, and the weather remained ideal for exploring. We headed for a rendezvous with a friend today. This took us down through the centre and then out to Penn Station and Madison Square Gardens, where we ate at the Tick Tick Diner. Out to Hudson Yards, to meet up with my wife's college friend, who lives in the city, and explored this interesting new structure called 'The Vessel'. We then walked the first half of the uptown end of the High Line, before heading down into Chelsea to find lunch in a classic New York BBQ joint. My wife and daughter continued to explore, and my son and I took the subway to Astoria over on Long Island and visited the Museum of the Moving Image. This turned out to be excellent... cool, empty and hosting a wonderful exhibition on the life of Jim Henson, featuring a host of Muppets, Fraggles, Dark Crystal costumes et al, followed by loads of film props, scripts etc. and the costumes from the new Coen Brothers film: 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs'. A great visit, and then a quick subway ride back, and some food in the underground place we'd found before. Packing the cases too sadly, and working out how to stay within the baggage limit.
