Continued from NYC Day 4 Part 1.

I do like the MoMA gift shop. Damn it…I like modern art…

DSC08916
We’ve got this Andy Warhol kids book at home.

DSC08918
That clock brings back memories, for both RL and I.

Last time I came to MoMa, over a decade ago, this was the inside center piece.

DSC08928
Oh no, I’ve fallen and I can’t get back up…also, I’m drunk.

DSC08929
How did they decide on 499? Why not just make it an even 500?

DSC08930
MoMA was surprisingly fruitful as a museum. Not so big like the Met where it’s overwhelming, and much more of the kind of art that we appreciate than the odd conceptual art exhibit that they had at the Guggenheim.

DSC08932
Another super awesome town home. Would live here if I was a billionaire.

DSC08933
NYC and their cars with bumper guards.

DSC08934
Paradoxically, for someone who cares about their car, they also don’t give a shit about their car to put in this lame ass stick on fake vent on the door.

DSC08935
Now heading to lunch. We decided we might as well walk up 5th Ave and check it out.

DSC08936
I wonder what he’s setting up?

DSC08937
Ah, all the fancy stores. Ohh, Bentley.

DSC08938

DSC08940
Boo.

DSC08947
Asparagus!

DSC08948
Didn’t know they are redoing the main Apple store.

DSC08949
Giant tarantulas!

DSC08950
Plaza Hotel.

DSC08951

DSC08952
Surprised to see they had a Tesla courtesy car for Plaza Hotel. What if it runs out of battery?

DSC08953
The food hall we’ll be having lunch at is located in the basement level of The Plaza Hotel.

DSC08956
Fancy.

DSC08957
Last check for lobster rolls in NYC before we leave.

DSC08958

DSC08960
He’s got a hairnet for his beard.

DSC08962
Two birds with one stone. They had a Lady M counter here with their layered crepe cake. It was on our list of places to try, so it was nice surprise to find one here without us having to go out of our way to try it.

DSC08965
So good.

DSC08967

DSC08971
At the Southern edge of Central Park. But, it’s time to head back to our hotel, grab our bags, and go to the airport. This morning was just perfect and we are glad to be leaving on a high note. Everything felt so calm and smooth. The timing for everything also worked out perfectly as well.

DSC08972
One of them subway lights.

DSC08973

DSC08975
Again, NYC subway, WTF. Why these random stations that are skipped? Thankfully we are at the big station, so we haven’t been skipped yet.

DSC08976

DSC08977
Selfie progression.

DSC08979

DSC08980
I looked beautiful since the first frame.

DSC08982
Bye Times Square, til next time. Actually, next time we probably won’t even come to Times Square.

DSC08984
It’s so cute and tiny.

DSC08987
Ahhh Bubba Gump.

DSC08993
Down the subway we go. When we arrived here 4 days ago, the walk from this subway station to our hotel felt like a long hectic walk. But today, it was a short light walk. We must have gotten used to the busy bustle of the big city in the past few days.

DSC08994

DSC08995
11 stops, but we’ve got seats so it’s all good.

DSC08996
NYC and their subway dancer performers. Meh. They are too aggressive in trying to get tips and fist bumps. I prefer the mariachi bands.

DSC08997
Here for the transfer to the AirTrain.

DSC09003
That guy ran all the way up the stairs with his luggage over his head.

DSC09010
Now at JFK.

DSC09011
PreCheck line. On another note, I saw so many people in NYC with Apple AirPods. So this is where people buy them. Also, for baby strollers here in the city, I saw a lot of UPPABaby and no BOBs. Back in Austin, all I see are BOB strollers. Kind of makes sense since BOBs probably take up too much room in NYC.

DSC09012
LOL. Somehow RL set off the metal detectors. Pregnancy means no xray machine but instead a pat down. Hahaha.

DSC09013
Priority Pass started partnering with restaurants and giving you dining credits instead of lounge access. I actually prefer this. $28 credit a person, sign me up!

DSC09015

DSC09016
White sangria.

DSC09018
This we will split.

DSC09019
This we will take to go on the airplane. Since our plane takes off at the awkward hour of 5:30pm, we’ll have to bring our dinner on the plane.

DSC09020
ROID RAGE!!!! That guy was huge, but probably has tiny balls.

DSC09023

DSC09025

DSC09027
There’s a sign on the left for “Pet Relief Room.” It’s time to go home. Missing our kids.

DSC09030
Again, sitting by the window because I love my wife.

DSC09031
This is a nicer plane than the one we came on. We each have our own screen and we get to pick our own show to watch. On the flight here, they showed Black Panther on their shared screens. I didn’t watch it since I took a nap for the first half of the movie. Now I can watch it this time.

DSC09033
Had to get head phones from the plane because my stupid Lightening plug Apple headphones won’t work.

DSC09041
Bye NYC.

DSC09042

DSC09043

DSC09045
It’s time to eat. Surprisingly good for cold food.

DSC09048
Well, that was fast. We ended up showing up 40min early while leaving NYC right on time!! That’s an incredible tailwind for it being such a short flight.

DSC09053
Ahhh, Home Sweet Home.
