no sleep til brooklyn

ok, so here is the final wrap-up of our nyc trip. this time 2 weeks ago, we were standing in line here. a few photos.
if you haven't walked along the east river at sunset and then stood in line for an hour for grimaldi's pizza under the brooklyn bridge, well....

the day started with a super session at my conference. we heard artist, chuck close, and writer and art critic, irving sandler. it was inspiring (though chuck close commented that inspiration is "overrated" if you are wasting time waiting on it to produce art) and truly amazing. i could not take notes fast enough. after the talk, i met pb for lunch at the 53rd street deli. then after more art acitivities, and a much needed 20 minute nap, we hopped on the f train to the york street station in brooklyn, around 4:00. we walked along the east river, between the manhattan and brooklyn bridges and took photos. if this is not on your bucket list, it should be.
here are my photos before dinner.





this was dinner. i'm a pizza-holic. this was worth the wait in line. and what else would i rather be doing but waiting in line on a saturday, in brooklyn???

after dinner we walked across the brooklyn bridge. a truly magnificent thing to do as you view the lights of manhattan and the cars whizzing underneath. i took some photos.

and so did pb. check out more of them here.

5 days, 4 nights. an amazing trip for us. cannot wait to go back.
