Day 2 at the MET

It only took me more than a month, but here it goes - day 2 of the intrepid NYC trip last April.  Day 2 was the day to check things off:  Met - check; Broadway - check; Time Square - check; glimpse of the Empire - check; Forever 21 - check!  It was about going with the crowd and letting go to the noise and chaos all around you - yes, even at the museum!  I was dressed more for a resort than the 60'ish weather that greeted us full blast when we walked uptown to the museum mile so I shivered all the way to the Metropolitan Museum.  The trip to the museum was such a drive-by that I vowed to come back that night - but sadly, we the lure of hedonistic Time Square so transfixed Alaia that we ended up staying there amid the crazies all night long. We could only hit the highlights of the museum and stopped by their cafeteria to get hijacked by the insane cost of the food there.  We so wished we ate at the food trucks outside instead.  Oh well, it was all part of the lore of the day.
