(Written by Dave) We just got back from a few cold days in New York City and had a great time there. We made a quick stop at the Children’s Center at the New York Public Library and I got a picture of Lita out front with one of the Library Lions.
After the library and a quick hello to Betsy Bird, we had lunch with Lita’s wonderful agent at Metrazur on the balcony above Grand Central Station. It was really fun! Then we visited lots of great book stores, like Books of Wonder, Barnes and Noble at Union Square and The Strand. We wanted to get up to the Bank Street Books (Children’s Bookstore) but never quite made it up that way.
I just saw an article in the NY Times which said the number of visitors in the city was down a few percent in 2009, but we saw unbelievably huge crowds at the Natural History Museum and at the Met. At the MOMA people were lined up outside the building all the way to 6th Ave. We never did get in there — didn’t even try. At Rockefeller Center, in the early evening, there was a human traffic jam like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I can’t imagine fitting more people into the space.
The window decorations at Bergdorf Goodman were pretty good this year:
Good trip overall, but now we’re glad to be back in New Hampshire!
