Guggenheim & Central Park

Sunday morning we re-fuelled over brunch at the trendy Zabar's spin-off, Taste, on the Upper East Side.
















We then headed towards the Guggenheim Museum to see the Frank Lloyd Wright Exhibition: From Within Outward. It was extremely interesting, as FLW was the architect that designed the Guggenheim.




















Audio guides.......check!




















It was a magificent collection of sketches, detailed drawings, 3D models, videos, construction notes, all in part due to the 50th anniversary celebration of the Guggenheim opening on October 21 1959. Clearly all great things happen on October 21, 1959 - or at the least October 21, 1980!

















Afterwards we walked over to Central Park, and along the Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir..................















...... thru the main arena, over to the Belvedere Castle.............




















...............thru the ramble, up to the Boat Pond, and finishing up at the Alice in Wonderland monument.........exhausted!
