21 Apr

The High Line 🇺🇸New York, United States
Old railway, new park. Walked it end to end after the keynote.
22 Apr

Katz's Delicatessen 🇺🇸New York, United States
Pastrami on rye. Keep your ticket or they'll know.
23 Apr

The Metropolitan Museum of Art 🇺🇸New York, United States
The Temple of Dendur in its glass room. Three hours in and I'd seen maybe 2% of it.
24 Apr

Top of the Rock 🇺🇸New York, United States
Better than the Empire State Building, because you can see the Empire State Building.
25 Apr

Brooklyn Bridge 🇺🇸New York, United States
Walked it at sunrise from the Brooklyn side. The only way, it turns out.
26 Apr

Central Park 🇺🇸New York, United States
Bethesda Terrace, the last of the cherry blossom, a saxophone somewhere. Sunday done right.
