"Eat a hot dog" part 2

Our second day into the city we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Central Park. This day was superb! We didnt stay in the Met too long, lots of people, and I think we were a little over Art (we did a lot of that before leaving home). But we did see the Superheros Fashion thing which crossed superheros costumes and fashion, pretty cool-we saw the original outfits of batman, catwomen, iron man, and others that I forgot (from the new movies). We then went into some modern art and the impressionists and saw works from Picasso, Warhol, and some cool feminist/racial/social problems works, oooh and some Greek and Roman statues. Then off to Central Park-this place if freaking huge! We wandered for miles it seemed only to get lost a few times... But we did find "Strawberry Feilds" park-where there is a John Lennon memorial. A guy I am guessing hangs out there playing nothing but John Lennon songs and will dance around if there is a camera on him... Very amusing. Blake and I were then famished, we wanted food. The plan was to find this restaurant called "Tavern on the green" to have lunch. Finding it was a little difficult, and somewhere between Strawberry Fields and the Tavern there was a hot dog stand, and Blake finally, FINALLY was able to get a hot dog from a New York street vendor, he was happy and the hot dog was everything he hoped/thought it would be. It was happy times. The Tavern was crazy expensive! CRAZY, there were two courses that you had to have (both courses at $20) and the sandwiches were about $18.... So we thought no, and found a restaurant away from the park.
After eating we tried to find our way back to the subway that we needed and almost got lost. We took a subway a few streets across town, then had to get off and walk about 5 blocks north and 1 ave east. We ended up walking through uptown Manhattan and right next to Rockafeller Center. Pretty cool, indeed. All the apts had doorman, even Saks 5th ave (which is the ave we were off of). When we finally found our stop (underneath the NY City Library) we were happy people. We made it back to Grand Central and to our train, the Metro-North to White Plains. Home by 5, we made leftovers, and sat on the couch watching Family Guy and Project Runaway... I was nice a recuperating. Our final trip into the city was the next day. We had to physically prepare, and mentally prepare. Sad times ahead.
