Had a pretty quiet day around NYC. Started with breakfast in a neighbourhood diner (one of several surprisingly different and important culinary experiences in America - see also hot dog stands, bagels, and pumpkin pie). Went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for an exhibition of Rembrandt and his contemporaries. The Met is amazing and everything, but since Steph and I saw it last time, we just checked out the African gallery (missed last time), and moved on. Walked through Central Park. Saw a cute couple having wedding photos by a pond despite the freezing weather - it was adorable to see the bride's take-the-damn-photo-already-because-I-want-to-put-my-coat-on smile. Went to FAO Schwartz, the best toy shop in the world, and spent ages and ages in there since, well, it's the best toy shop in the world. Walked down 6th Avenue and around Times Square, then back to Queens for a tasty Thai dinner.
