This is what you see beside the hotel.
Forgot to tell you that The Standard is actually built above the High Line, with just the entrance and restaurants under the old tracks.
Was thinking of walking all the way to MoMA, but thought the better of it.
After all, I wanted to try the subway. Here's the weekly pass I purchased.
Some images on and around Sixth Avenue. Does anybody really care about the national debt? Especially since its posted at the IRS.
I was totally unprepared for the masterpieces at the museum. Besides Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night was also there. Mondrian, Matisse, Bacon, Rousseau, and so many others (will post more soon).
A view from inside the museum.
Anna Zborowska by Amedeo Modigliani.
Some African masks hawked on the street near the museum exit.
The special exhibit at the top floor was on the brilliant photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, who captured the mood of different eras. Very excited to go through the photos again through this thick volume.
Yes, I've come to love the city and would love it more if I could live here. (Magnet with Tim Burton characters.)
So now I show you what I found when I got home (besides returning to this amazing view).
This is the scarf that came with the Benetton kit. Just so happened I was already wearing denim, so I took this quick snap.
Fast forward to the cocktail party at the Boom Boom Room at The Standard. (Will post the rest of the images after I finish the ongoing shoot. Yes, we are live blogging for the Benetton site.) These are Mai of Maisassygirl and Susie of Style Bubble.
The guys of Montaigne Street.
Gisella being interviewed.
The bar at The Standard's Boom Boom Room. See you soon for more photos!
