That Friday Feeling...

On Friday we thought we'd go for a walk through Central Park and work our way over to the Guggenheim Museum...
So we got the subway up to 72nd Street and walked passed the Dakota Building where John Lennon and Yoko used to (and half still) live. It was a bit spooky seeing the exact alley where he was shot, I'd never seen it before and there was a certain feeling in the air around the place. We crossed the road and went into Strawberry Fields, then carried on walking up and across the park where all the trees were showing off their fancy Autumn colours.

We happened to find ourselves near the Boathouse Restaurant so stopped by for a spot of rather delicious lunch - we timed it perfectly too because after we got our table the place completely filled up. The views from inside the boathouse are amazing, it's such a beautiful setting to have lunch in - looking out over the lake with all the reds and oranges and yellows in the trees and the skyscrapers peering over the tops of them. It was fantastic and the food was delicious Mops had steak and Pops and I had pork tenderloin with figs and honey... Mmmmmmmmm!

Then we continued up to the Guggenheim, where we were bowled over more by the architecture than the amazing Kandinsky exhibition inside - it's such an incredibly cleverly designed building... good old Frank.
