Day of Galleries

We spent a long time at the MOMA today, probably the favourite of all the galleries we have seen, and we have all been here more than once.
We witnessed a disturbing scene as we were about to end our time there.....a young woman was asked by a guard to leave the premises, she became argumentative and a tussle ensued.....it got quite violent as a number of guards rushed her and wrestled her to the ground and the police were on the scene.....we left not knowing what the problem had been.
Leaving the Museum of Modern Art (which I always find interesting that it is called " modern"art, ) we walked to,The Plaza Hotel where we were reserved for,high tea at 1:45.  Tea was in the Palm Court which is a fantasticlly beautiful high ceiling room with giant palm trees and magicifigant flower displays, smartly attired waiters and exquisite table settings.  We all ordered our own selection of tea and The NewYorker high tea., for the  princely sum of $75 each.  Brought to the table for each pair of us was the three tiered stand full of warm scones, assorted delicate sandwiches, and enough desserts for twice as many diners! We did our very best but could not eat all the desserts.. it was definitely a treat not to be experienced too often!
Leaving the plaza we walked to the Frick museum which was the residence of Henry  Frick, an art collector who made his millions in Steel in Pittsburgh.
Another walk and we came to The iconic Carlyle Hotel ....and the Bemelmans  Bar where the walls are painted with scenes from Central Park and  from the famous children's book The Madeline's , by Lugwig Bemelman the illustrator. Ludwig and his family were allowed to live at the Carlyle for a year and a half in exchange   For the art illustrations which dress the walls to this day.  .after perusing the cocktail list we ordered our poison three .pisco sours, high and tight tequila, passion royal, earl grey martini, and one lone glass of white wine....the owner of which shall remain nameless.
After all this food and drink decadence we sauntered home picking up more wine on the way.
Another great day in the big Apple.
